Hell yeah. 1st week and I am feeling the heat already. The awesome professionalism and good-nature of the CIMP lecturers are definitely not in these VU chumps. Seriously seriously considering hauling my ass into overdrive and getting enough marks to head on to Monash. There are some lecturers that seem interesting. Wait, there is only one that is interesting in a positive manner, Mr Zain. Really fat jolly dude who was a lawyer and sure as hell sounds like he has buttloads of experience. 1st day in his class and we were all in stitches. Damn... He is good... And his humour is unforgiving. I dare not think what would happen to me if I walk into one of his classes late. The last time that happened, he called a few guys gays in front of the whole lecture hall. Daaammnn... Talk about defamation, man. He teaches Business Law but is filling in for a Ms Greeja for Management and Organizational Behaviour (MOB) class. She seems to be doing her Masters degree or something, so I heard. Anyways, the Microeconomic Principles lecturer is dead boring. Normal M'sian chink lecturer. Says eerything in a sing-song manner and expects us to fill in the blanks on the sheets of blank notes she gives us. *sigh* Last one is this dude, Mr Tee, who teaches Business Statistics (BS) who is full of BS. He doesn't have a character problem or ego. It's just that he seems to be underqualified for the job. Really horrible capacity for english and can't really explain the material he's teaching properly. It's Business Stats wei... It's MATH. Freakin M-A-T-H. It's all a linear path. This ain't philosophy, man. The theories are dead set as they are and he somehow finds ways to go around them and then FINALLY get to the point. Smashing. He also did mention we need to attend all his lectures, tutorials, workshops and all that jazz to actually get all the knowledge he's hitting us with. Of course he needs that much time... Literally, he takes the final half portion of the LAST lecture and puts it into the 1st half of today's lecture. This explains things that he said, such as...
1. There is a high percentage of failure in this subject
2. This subject takes a long time
The way he's going, I doubt I'll ever get a job that needs me to hold a calculator. One more thing about this interesting character, he is some incredibly maniacal Buddhist. Real hardcore. He's practically got the whole altar in his office, sans the joss sticks and offerings. Heh heh heh... He also talks about being mindful in class and mentioned something about meditation in class. Jesus... Reminds me of my own foolish and amatuer-ish thoughts of spreading Buddhism. This guy needs a good wake up call and a heavy dosage of alcohol in his system to get the logic cogs working. I also met up with some other Monash friends. Seems like Monash also has it's fair share of lousy lecturers. Damn.. sometimes I wish that CIMP also offered uni courses. At this point, I am inclined to believe that dudes that have a short circuit or two in their grey matter are uni lecturer material these days. Nothing like a spot of eccentricity, eh? Hahahahaa... Peace out y'all.
