That class has (40 my batch, 5 senior) 45 students but less than 10 person were in class. It was already half an hour...after the phone incident, more and more people were showing up and majority were wearing slippers. Our HR class today was a 2 hour class, 1pm-3pm. Less than 10 people in class at 1pm, then at 1.25 pm about 12 person only.
After she gave an angry speech of us not respecting her, she just left the class and told us class will continue next week!
Actually it's our fault. First, my class doesn't respect the lecturers...we talk during class while the lecturer is teaching...and we talk OK, not even whisper. Secondly, we play with phone, laptop, iPad during class and many even sleep in class even though they sit nearest to the lecturer. Besides that, we tend to sit up far away from the lecturer, the first 5 row of chairs would be literally empty. We talk back to the lecturer quite rude. We wear slippers to class, some wear shorts. We come late to class, a few rarely attend classes. Sometimes we just leave the class in front of the lecturers.
The phone guy said well at least he turn his head, that showed his "respect" what instead of answering the phone facing the lecturer. (Actually he could go outside then only answer the phone, or hold a book in front to cover the phone...) btw, the way he turned-> the lecturer could clearly see the phone and we all heard the phone ring...LoL.
The lecturer scolded us that kita tak respect dia, datang kelas lewat lebih dari 30 min, pakai SLIPER, cakap masa dia cakap, phone tak silent. Dia cakap mungkin dia terlalu lenient sampai kita sangat rude (kurang ajar), no respect(tak hormat) and step on her head(pijak kepala)"
She had been tolerating it this whole semester. Twice a week (1 hour + 2 hour), about 8 weeks if minus add & drop week and mid-sem break. I guess she reached her boiling point!
She said she wont teach today and ask us to sign the attendance sheet.
This is the first time a lecturer MERAJUK lalu TAK NAK AJAR. This is proof that our condition is very terrible already. We need to change to improve our batch image...
Changes: Don't enter class too late, don't wear slipper during her class, if enter class late apologize to lecturer, if need to talk in class->try to whisper or write on paper.
What's MY fear now is we created a "HALO EFFECT", nobody will get an A for her subject. Just like my 2nd semester and my 3rd semester, there were lecturers who did not let anyone get an A. The highest was a B plus. Besides that, those lecturers don't have pedagogy, so they have plenty of information but do not know how to transfer it to us. Very terrible presentation skills and very bad teaching skills! It's like even if we attend the class, we don't know what the lecturer is trying to teach us even if we concentrate, therefore we grow frustrated and give up on coming to class or don't bother paying attention.
A different lecturer did a test recently and he said many of us were hanging on the border. (this proves how he fail as a lecturer, highest mark we obtained is 29/40 but majority got 19/40 in his test, that's also because some of us have background in that subject) but he said it is due to our laziness that we perform very terrible. He doesn't teach, he just mention the contents, then talk about himself and Islam and then moves on to the next slide. He got his degree from UIA (University Islam Antarabangsa).
Only a handful of us has background of the subject but he goes on like as though we know by heart all the contents and he is just informing us what to study. I did inform him that many of us do not have basics and do not understand what he "teaches" us in class, but he put the blames on us. "You'll are university students, go read books in the library or ask your friends from economy, finance, accounts and marketing studies to teach you"
In my heart, "then what's the use of us paying you? Better we 'employ' those friends to be our lecturer" Besides that, his assignments are so heavy that it takes most of our time away from us. Our friends are students ma, so they also got assignments and lectures to attend...
Haiz...
