Re: AW: bad proctor

when i was in brussels last year, a proctor that did my first lab was in my
view, yes MY VIEW at times short and ill-mannered, with often reactional
comments to questions, the whole body language implied "what now". However
in his defence on other occasions I asked him about XYZ he was fine.There
was no consistency, he oither helped you a great deal, or seemed not to be
up for it. At 9am when me and the rest of the class went to see him in a
serial fashion he seemed to ge irate.

My point being, no matter how pissed off you are, no matter how many times
you need to repeat what you are saying you should not be be like that to
anyone. Again, most of us will pay serious amounts of money to sit this, yes
to me 1400 usd is a lot of money, i have family like everyone else and i
need to justify every penny i spend. I demand value for that money i
spend. I expect a proctor that wants to help all the time, everytime.

The other proctor I had, well he was straight out of the top drawer -
faultless, he seemed to have taken lessons from Scott Morris on manners and
respect.

Looking back at this post, I think the title "bad proctor" is a little
previous and could have been worded a lot better.
