I walked into my last class of the day feeling a little tired and took the seat closest to the door. About 5 minutes after the class was supposed to start, the professor walks in and up to the white-board, takes off his jacket, grabs a marker, and begins to scribble. No personal introduction. No introduction to the course. I began to wonder whether I'd missed a few of his classes? Alright, so the guy doesn't like to talk.. so what? He's just there to teach, right?
Well, I suppose he tried. Five minutes into the course I knew I was dropping it. The guy simply could not teach. This leads me to my main point here....... just because you are a professor does not mean you are a teacher!
This is by no means a problem with Corvinus University....my professors earlier in the morning were awesome. They were teachers. But some professors, including some I've had in Queen's, are simply horrible. Anyone instructing any class at the university level should go through a teacher's ed program.....a thesis and long years of study are by no means enough preparation.
Thanks Rock. I have felt that way myself since going to university. You nailed the point in very few words! Nicely done...of course, as one of your previous English teachers, I am a bit biased!
