So it's 2 hours long. But the first 1/2 hour everyday, without fail goes like this:
> Prof comes in
> "I'd like to acknowledge the injustices faced by (the persecuted group of the day)"

Good god, just get on with the lecture. Other profs are able to acknowledge injustices without devoting a quarter of class to it. It's extremely strange to watch a white woman explain to a group made up almost entirely by minorities how "we" need to do more to fight racism. I'm no /pol/tard but this is ridiculous. Just add a paragraph to your syllabus like a normal person.

> "I acknowledge the material is extremely difficult"
The material is easy. It would be easier if you spent more time teaching.

> "I acknowledge you all are working very hard..."
A literally useless statement. Why does she feel the need to say this every single lecture?
