Re: Question about the Proctors....

Well, I probably won't give you the answer on your question, but I took the
lab 4 days ago (my first attempt) and I'm very disappointed with Proctor. I
tried to ask 3 questions and he gave me a look like "What the hell you
want?", "What do you expect for answer on your question" and similar B.S.
answers. After 3rd time I gave up and asked no more. Beside, he was
impolite. I didn't ask nothing that would required part of answer on lab
question or something like that. I didn't ask nothing except some
clarification of lab question when it wasn't so clear to me.
So, my first encounter with proctor wasn't so encouraging. But, probably it
depends from person to person.
