Mohammad, I'm sorry to hear your side of the story. Personally, I have tried to 
give you the benefit of the doubt, because I am also learning about the AS/400 
(from scratch, by myself, using manuals, books and any internet site and/or 
forum that I can possibly find). However, questions do come to mind about some 
of the remarks you have made within this particular e-mail. Instead of 
remarking that the lab technicians are fools, you should look to yourself 
(based upon some of the questions that you have posted) and wonder if you have 
the "right type of logical brain" to be in this business, or failing that, if 
you have the right work ethic to try and work some of these problems out 
yourself, even if it is by trial and error. Sometimes just "playing" on the 
AS/400, you can find/grasp ideas  that at first you did not comprehend. Look at 
other books that your tutor/instructor may not have suggested. "Control 
Language Programming for the AS/400" (second edition) by Myers and Riehl (Duke 
Press) I have found to be a really great book, and in many cases a god-send.

when i took this issue up w/him (i had his basic rpg
course the last semester) he let me know quite plainly
that he was not interested in helping me. one reason was he said this
was because of some low remarks i made of him on the ANONYMOUS teacher
evaluation forms you fill out at course's end. this guy felt it
necessary to try & humiliate me in front of the rest of the students
during break time. he gave me letters and cards from the previous
semester and said that so many other people enjoyed the course, yet i
failed to. i was speechless as he reiterated his unwillingness to help.

when i pressed him on the issue of why he never replied to my emails
during the first course he said that he never replies to his email and
asked how i got it. i smacked my forehead and reminded him that he
gave it to the last class w/the express purpose of using it.

he told me to use the lab. i told him the lab people were fools. which
is true, everyone complains about them.

discussion ended about then.

i ought to speak to the head but what's the use, any institution that
violates student privacy can't be trusted to take student
claims/issues as seriously. besides, the course is part time, the
instructor has a full time job and it would just be a waste of my time.

i'm tired of fighting w/him, but i'll tell you one thing. he's going
to get even worse remarks when this semester ends. and now that i know
he read the first evaluation form and knew it was from me i'm going to
give him some real shit this time.

sincerely,

Mohammad
