im goin to condemn my fluids tutor who is also, unfortunately and sadly, the lecturer. For the incoherent english that he uses... like mass = mars, surface= service, fact=fat and a couple of others which i properly couldnt catch and took it as the wrong word.. with the lecture notes filled up with symbols and equations with less than approx 10 english words per page ( excluding the headers, titles and such), it looks extremely foreign to me even after the lectures. Attempts to seek the textbook for help has been made difficult for there are things that appear in the notes not found in the text. Now, where on earth did those eqns come from.. grr.
Thought the tutorial might help somehow.. shouldnt have pinned too high hopes in the first place. Was extremely stunned when he called for my name to volunteer for a question that suay-suay I didnt know how to do. I told him about my doubts about the question, kindly he said: " nevermind. just go to the whiteboard and try, I ll help u".. Cheated me of my feelings when I was stucked at it and asked him for help, simply he said: " try lor.. "
What the hell.. cant u see i ve already attempted the tutorial from the foolscap paper that is full of my workings and soln? Dont know how to do means dunno how to do mah. Like standing infront of the whiteboard and think differs anyhow from sitting at my study table at home to think. Ya, and i tried to think in front of that MAGICAL whiteboard and failed. So i just wrote whatever i could and stopped. Stoned.. or rather panicked. Finally he said: "nvm, go back and sit" and i saw him shakin his head in disappointment. HELLO, u dont want to be disappointed, jolly well find someone who has already the full solns to present lar... i told u i dont know how to do and u insisted. Well well.
There is an independent study module right? I think this module jolly well fits this title. U go to lecture, gets nothing out of it and struggle to find similar chapters in the textbook.. U do tutorial, dont know how to do..go to tutorial lessons find ur team mates and seek peer help.. I think the lecturer, like xl says, really need to retire. Good luck to pple takin this nxt sem, just pray he retires.
Ya like while i m trying to do the nxt tutorial for this module, i finally cldnt tahan anymore and thus came up with the above post.. Pekchek.
