Hmm...again

i find it ffrustrating to sit through biology lectures while the prof tells me that we are just going to do this superficially, and we aren't going to look at the important implications, we are just going to memorize a few terms and vomit them up again in a week or so. And then to demonstrate that she is doing a good job, she asks questions and when a student answers she gives them a candy (good job student, eat up).

but the worst part about it is that it only just occured to me today the real falacy of this pedagogical construction. What on earth is she trying to accomplish? i don't think she has a goal in mind for the class. what a waste of her life. i mean poling is a very sweet woman, and i think very intellegent. so way would she concent to wasting like 15 hours a week in such mundane and ultimately fruitless lectures. I hope i am never in a position to waste so much of my life on something that i have the power to make productive, fun, interesting challenging...

i was also talking with the brother/father/family about these false pedagogies...oh i should do some work before i finish this.

peace
