Are instructors as lazy as students? Or perhaps most people are just apathetic?

I seriously expect people who are graduate students…who have earned their PHDs to be more on top of things. The posts to the newsgroup of both of my CS classes go unanswered except by fellow students. Surely, we don\’t want the blind leading the blind. I worked on the website presentation for 10 hours straight that was due last Monday that is supposed to be online now, but it\’s not. I have sent e-mails to my TAs, questions about the finals and they have yet to respond. What pisses me off is how one TA says he is going to hold a review session tomorrow at 3 pm. Earlier, he said that he was going to post on the newsgroup where it was going to be held. So it\’s 11 pm the day before the review and I still do not know where it\’s going to be held. For my other class, I have realized how much BS there was in the review. The TA was obviously unprepared. The instructor that graded our assignment gave us a reduced grade (an A to an A-) based on the fact that we put a period outside of quotes rather than a period inside the quotes (as if this is an English class). The entire teaching staff isn\’t sympathetic to a students\’ misgivings, but this is Berkeley, right?

I am getting irritated that I make so much effort to do things for some people and it does not get reciprocated. At least, I can laugh most issues off with a kick and smile.
