I really do not know what to write for dissertation.
I can finally start writing and I don't know what to write.
Now I have time and I need to vent my dissatisfaction on a couple of things.
Was just reading a website.. of a society.
It is very unbecoming and unprofessional when the president deliberately writes a negative article in reference to a former member and his/hers current activites.
Why can't people just watch their own weeds instead of peering over the fence?
Yesterday was the longest lecture of my life.
And it wasn't even the lecture part that was long, it was the senseless justifications justifying nothing that came after.
We were discussing issues and problems that the students would like to raise up during the meeting and a whole group had issues with their tutor.
I'm not a teacher but as a student, I have heard non-stop complains about this tutor so I just sat and listened again to what I have already heard before. In all honesty, I had her for design communications and I had no problems with her... except the time when she made a comment about me which had nothing to do with my abilities as a person -> which, personally, I found very unprofessional and offensive.
So another lecturer was there and was answering to all of these.
I agree that in many ways, perhaps the students could do more to make their tutorial sessions more fruitful and in some circumstances, actually get feedback from that tutor.
However, after about 15 minutes or so, I realised that she was repeating the same things over and over again. Even when it has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
It was honestly getting on my nerves (I was running on no sleep and no food, so I was a little highly strung).
I just about nearly snapped when she kept interrupting one of my classmates with her 'wit'.
When someone is trying to be serious, the LEAST one can do is listen, don't interrupt and be serious as well. Interrupting someone when he/her is trying to speak is just plain rude. I know she was trying to lighten the situation but it plucked all the wrong chords with me.
And I don't know if it was just me but I felt as if she kept refuting everybody's complains because it was her colleague (personal reasons and not professional) but she did mention that she will inform her colleague about the complains.
Whatever it was, I was honestly about to join in the argument because I just couldn't take anymore of her baseless preachings but it wasn't mine to fight.
Oh, and justifying her 'I don't knows' with "she wants to encourage you to do more self study', I'm sorry to say, is perhaps the biggest load of bullshit that I have heard in a long time. Is she trying a little reverse psychology on students? Is that what you're trying to say?
Okay, say we take that justification as the truth.. and she really is doing it for that reason and that reason only.. does she really think it is working? From my observation, the only result that is resulting from these "I don't knows" are the students believing that she does not read through their work at all and that is why she can't give her feedback.
With all due respect to both parties, everyone needs a total attitude overhaul.
Despite what I quoted before : "Wit is educated insolence".. yesterday's 'wit' was not educated at all.
