As some/many/few of you know, I'm trying to complete my Fire Instructor II class. This particular class has been a bit of a charlie foxtrot (i think i mentioned it in my last post).
Anyway, our final presentation is tonight. Almost done. Yes we're cutting it fine, but the third guy in our group bailed on us yesterday. While his contribution has been rather... sub-standard... his timing is pretty crap.
It's not a great loss - this is someone who still doesn't understand the basic precepts that they were trying to teach us in this class. The class is more about teaching theory than fire science. Things like the 3 learning domains - cognitive, psychomotor and affective...
While it's not a loss - it's still annoying as i had to stay up and get up rather early to make sure that we covered his stuff.
The not-so fun part is he called the lead instructor and blamed my partner and i for his leaving. i think he left out all the bits about his 'working 12 hour days' 'don't have much time to put into this' and the fact that most of the stuff he did was very shoddily cut and paste from other sources.
fortunately almost all of this is documented - and we're bringing it to class tonight to ensure our reputations (and grades) aren't going to be affected.
On a side note - the class is about technical rescue awareness. it might even be interesting. heck - i think it is.
but then i am a dork.
