"Epic fail"
"Unbelievable"
"I'll take 'Holy Shit' for $100, Alex."

I coordinate the principles of management course. Simply put, I write the common syllabus, make sure everyone has the materials and write the final. A week ago I completed the final. Two completely different sets of questions made into four versions. (All part of my methods to reduce cheating.) I was feeling soooo good about myself...
Yesterday, I had a conversation that, well... This is what I said to a new colleague: "So you are telling me you didn't cover 1/3 of the material for this course?"
What I wanted to say scream was, "What the f*#k have you been doing for the past 15 weeks?"
I am sick. I'm not sick because *I* will get in any serious trouble over this, because I won't. I am sick because... I don't know. I take my job seriously? I think what we do has value and it should be done right?
Here's what I said to the group of my fellow teachers: "It's good thing we are not in medicine because this would be malpractice."
I have been in the field of education most of my adult life. I can't think of any similar situation where a person simply didn't teach the course. There's anger and rage building in me as I write this and I can feel myself losing what few, precious hairs I have left on my head.
