“I did much preparation for this quarter’s classes, and as there were no software requirements noted in the syllabus, I had invested in Ableton for my DAW and textbook materials.
But then, the instructor decided to require use of Pro Tools for both classes once we got going.
‘Just convert your files into Pro Tools once completed.’
And then, ‘actually, we are going to focus on Pro Tools as the main DAW.’
Well, my installation of Pro Tools got borked, and computer system management not being my forte, the instructor was going to help me troubleshoot issues.
And then, I realized that with my TBI I cannot learn two systems at the same time – and thus began scrambling midstream to see if I could return the one digital text for the other book copy.
I haven’t even begun the process, which will delay proceeding even longer in coursework due to shipping from out of state because the bookstore does not have a digital Pro Tools book version.
And further today, the instructor anounced that he will not be continuing teaching this spring – after I had at last felt I had found congruency in our communications.
We will now have someone else teaching both classes that I have no connection with and have to again deal with TBI resistance as I redo my entire foundational approaches.
It’s a good thing that I signed up for pass/no pass, but at this point – and with finances imploding – I am not sure what I will be able to get accomplished in these courses.
And quite frankly, I feel like quiting.”
