In my recent experience of some college classes I have been exposed to many different teaching styles that I was not exposed to in University. Some have been good and some have been absolutely terrible. Lets start with the terrible shall we? I do not understand how SOME, im not saying all, but SOME college "professors", if you want to call them that, actually land a job as a college professor. As a student - of both university and college - I am paying to learn about a certain subject as much as I can possibly stand to soak in about the wonderful world of psychology, or philosophy, or recreation or whatever it is that i enjoy learning about! And im not just paying chump change here, i'm talking loads of money. But hello, im preaching to the choir right? We're all paying through the nose for education. So whyyy is it that some "professors" college and university (although my experience has only been with college thus far) are teaching certain courses that they are clearly so utterly unqualified to teach? Tell me why am I paying all this money for some quack to stand at the front of the room, read off the slides that he or she may not have even put together themselves and appear to me like they actually know what they are talking about?!
I don't understand - if a teacher or prof is teaching a subject shouldn't they be able to answer general questions about the topic at hand? The logical answer would be YES of course, but in my experience some of my teachers have not even been able to do this.
Anyway - I have a lot of studying to do - and packing for the weekend, so I'll continue this blog at a later date!!!
