So, tomorrow I'm gonna be heading down to LA to see my buddy Eric, looks like it'll be a very fun trip, full of...two 14 hour trips on 4 trains, and 2 busses. o.o And what's definitely sounding like a good time.
I would also like to note that I have an awful teacher in class this session...I had an exam today that was about Networking alright, so we went over a lot of basic programming in networking...So I expected we would go over the same information as we did in class. I think the only thing we really went over was the last 5 questions out of 26...I had to google everything else.
He also had a question like this in it...
What is true for network protocols:
TCP is used for streaming.
UDP is used for streaming.
and a couple other ones that were blatantly false.
So...funny thing, TCP and UDP can be used for streaming data...I know this isn't a good example for school, but wiki is usually right, since you have tons of people who edit it...but you also get trolls, and they suck ass. But anyway, it says that UDP can be used for streaming, and same with TCP. TCP is more common, but UDP can still fucking do it. So why am I given such ambiguous questions on an exam, which is meant to test your knowledge of a subject?

And I also got one like this:
Which protocol is more popular:
TCP
UDP
SSL
IMAP
So...first off SSL is out, cause that's the Secure Socket Layer, not a protocol, aaaaand...IMAP is used for mail...>.> I have no clue which one is more popular, cause I like TCP over UDP any day...This is a multiple fucking choice question with one answer. Subjective questions have MORE than 1 answer, because the answer is different with everyone. My guess was TCP, since it's easier to use, but to be honest, it could have easily been UDP for all I know...how am I supposed to know what's popular and what's not when it comes to Internet Protocols...Maybe I like using UDP, because you don't need a connection to the server? I don't understand it one bit, personally.
This was a very disappointing networking class that I paid a lot of money for. And if there are any DeVry teachers or managers listening, you need to fucking fire whoever made the curriculum for the GSP 465 class, and picked out that awful book...it works for Linux, don't get me wrong, but I'm not using Linux, and probably a good portion of your students don't use Linux because you have a free Windows 7 download...Brains are here for a reason, and it's not nomming.
