the world of academia... my foot.

I am writing this blog as I'm sitting here in my course. The reason I'm writing this is cause, my bloody lecturer repeats his points too many times! He gives multiple examples to support one point, and he repeats them. He repeats them so much, he confuses me. I repeat,

"HE REPEATS THEM SO MUCH, HE CONFUSES ME"

I got it the the first time round, then he repeats, and I keep waiting for some new point, and there is none. and he goes off tangent, then my flow of thought gets disrupted! Nothing gets internalised. Bah...

I subscribe to the theory, that some people are not meant to be lecturers to adults, he ought to teach kids, I'm sure they would love him.

Feel like telling him, certain statements don't require egs. cuz it is SELF EXPLANATORY!!!

I get it... I'm quite sure the whole class gets it... quit belabouring the point.

ok.. from now on the blog continues from home. I am not typing out what I jotted down in class.

In retrospect, I may be too harsh. Mebbe he's not that bad.. mebbe he will gain in speed as the classes goes on, and mebbe pigs will fly. wahahah.. ok lah, i didn't mean that. There are pluses and minuses, just that I am naturally a rather impatient person. hence, I get irritated when people don't get straight to the point, esp in a lesson. I mean, if it's my friend, trying to pour her sorrows out to me, can lah, I can sit there and listen to him/her, cuz I know where emotions are concerned, it's not so easy to pinpoint out.

But still.. what he's teaching are the facts. Tell me what you think, tell me what the experts think, ask me what I think, explore what other ways we can think... TADAH! Done. Don't jump here and there, then go off tangent, leave me confused, then jump back to the original point, like you've just explained it. I got the point, lost the example, therefore, I lost the point.

ORRRR... it's me... It's gotta be. It's just me. He's the one with the doctorate, I'm the one who's always trying to "hun kou fan zhi" so, it's just me.

the world of academia sometimes disgusts me. at times it impresses me, and at other times, I just walk away with this disgusted feeling, that this bunch of people, walk around with their heads within the clouds, they don't even care if nothing is practical anymore. They publish books that have either been discussed to death, or they publish something that is crap, but they force the whole class to buy it, as reference material.

Bah... the world of academia... my foot.
