Lecture musings

Haven't been updating much because I am swamped by work.

This year, I am teaching PU3, the graduating batch so have to go the extra mile.
Realised that almost 80% of my ex-students are not taught by other tutors, it is good to have a new perspective and change of methods. Some have came back and thanked me for my structured teaching style, apologised for not being more appreciated or even b*tched about me or skipped my class often because the lessons were not interesting enough.
If you happen to hate my style, voice or have whatever problems with me, it might be better for both of us to not to face each other anymore.

Started to lecture this year, quite an exhilarating and tiring experience.
300 pairs of eyes observing every single move you make. Paying attention - not to the teaching content but the clothes, the actions, the speech, picking out errors and highlighting to neighbours, sniggers and whispers.

Acknowledged that there is a slight accent when I speak and trying to get rid of it (although my colleague attributed the accent as mental pause when I'm thinking as I talk, no need to change for idiots)

Same goes for the comments that I'm a better dresser now because I'm trying to attract attention and the amusing rumour that I'm having an affair with a colleague, if you have so much time to gossip, why not spend more time on your studies?
