revenge Now, Feedback is a wonderful invention. Especially if it is anonymous and it finally allowed to call all the things that rumschmoren one for weeks on the soul, and you want to get rid of urgently.
So today happened in literature. The loyal readers of my blog (if it exists * hope *) will recall that I occasionally already excited about the inability of my teacher Nicole did. The level of this course, which was designed for Bachelors immediately before the final moves on the average level of a basic English course 11th in class Today, for example, we have spoken extensively about what exactly differentiates actually a "narrator" from an "author", and what If the two recognize. Then we talked about the fact that the "narrator" so do not always know everything, sometimes it comes even before that nest hatched inside the narrator in the mind of just one person, and then is no longer even knowing! And sometimes - out, here is dangerous to awful, that statement as much as four requests have caused - there's the narrator while actually in the head drinne by one person, but he still speaks of just that in the third person. Is not Waaaaaaahnsinn what the modern literature all about?
Well, actually, I would like to complain but devoted to Nicole, who since the beginning of the semester, mainly by a property has excelled Simulated knowledge to complete ignorance. Otherwise I can certainly not explain where she sees the formal parallels between Shakespeare and modern Australian poetry, and otherwise I can not explain that they actually finished brings - has now led to a little outburst on my part - that it actually ready does not bring in immediate order of two items that I happened to have quite right in the head because I have excerpted only yesterday, to quote almost verbatim, and then a) not to say that this is not their ideas, and b), to note that contrary to the authors explicitly. They are, however, only randomly chosen examples, the list could complement each other - for example, by their tendency to "textual analysis" to understand the Paraphrase of the text, and "contextual analysis" is short biography of the author. Or by their penchant for Power Point presentations with questionable content and identifiable spelling.
I vowed revenge. I knew there would come a day when I would make my heart air - actually I had chosen for the day when the results of my work at the Bremen university, so they do not accidentally forget to give me a good grade . But the day came before: it was the Feedbacktag of the Department.
We have now got all the pretty light gray piece of paper, mark where we had to, as we found the course, and could give free comments - and the best part was, it was a) anonymous, and b) she gets the evaluation of the paper only after our conclusion of the face. I began by listing the many shortcomings of this seminar, but as on the sheet was not enough room, a list follows in an appropriate manner.
- respect, it follows a numbered list, who knows my tendency to earlier, may not want to read now -
1) The assumption that students are stupid is wrong. We do not have to basal terminology such as "Narrator", "Postmodernism" and "Modernity" has been clarified.
2) The selection of literature in this course is evidence of Nicole's tendency to poor, oppressed Aborigines. No kidding, five of eight texts treated this subject - plus a short film of the same content. The other texts were a lyric lesbian porn, a few poems and a tearjerker. Is that representative? Otherwise, we have Aboriginal SATT. So one can sow prejudice.
3) It is unnecessary to paraphrase the content of texts in the lecture in all the disgusting details. Adults should be able to read makes removal. Should they not be, they can still study mathematics.
4) It is absolutely unnecessary, any statement which to achieve anything close to intellectual level of a year of high school, with a concerned "that make sense?" to end.
5) It is however extremely NEED to read the set texts, at least, even if they already have absolutely paraphrase. Erroneous information during a lecture to students who have read the book in question actually do, is not good.
6) If you are too stupid to understand the ideas of another, and to quote correctly, then you should just become a teacher. Especially not at a prestigious university.
7) It is very frustrating when even hinted at any critical comment with a on gay "yeah, yeah, very interesting opinion!" acknowledged. This was even with such a talkative person like me meant that I have largely disengaged from the discussions.
8) literature is not exhausted, and this point is especially important to me and not explain it, how we felt when reading the book and whether we like the characters or not. HERE IS NOT THE LITERARY QUARTET!
No, it was now unfair, you think off the last sentence. Reich-Ranicki and colleagues knew at least the exact contents of their discussion items.
