I think it possibly the worst regret I have done so far.
I'll tell you a little story.
Once upon a time there a boy sitting in the side of the classroom, just working on his own things on his personal laptop. His assignment was to converted Oracle database to MySQL. He do his work on Visual Studio in C#, then he got yelled at that he have to convert the database by using school equipment provided. So he log in the school computer and start up the Visual Studio. He again, got yelled at that he can't use do anything related to programming. Then the teacher wanted the database to be rewritten in correct format as MySQL by using school equipment.
Clarified: She wanted him to rewrite the script of the database without programming anything to make it converted. He have to do text editor to fix it up... RAW.
Morale: If it isn't programming class, then don't put it up as a programming class. That pretty much sum up my rant. =)
A regret to going to technical school
Sounds like your teacher is quite the bitch. I've had a few instructors like that...to them there is one way of doing thing and its their way. any other method to get the same result is wrong in their eyes. You should have used programming to do it anyway...Its a shame that instructors today hold back students from using their full potential because they want it a certain way.
