Well, I just can’t help not being nasty.

It’s my fourth week in Nanyang Technological University and life there isn’t as pink as I thought it would be.

I’m not afraid of work, piles of work. I’m not afraid that studies are difficult.

It’s just that I don’t think I’m getting what I’m paying for.

I get lecturers who rip off powerpoint slides straight out of the text book. Lecturers who explain things in a fashion worst than the textbook. Lecturers who don’t know their course content well, give erronous and misleading examples, give poor examples…

That makes me depress.

Kinda miss my previous teachers who will come with nothing prepared, whip out transparencies and pens and scribbled on them, talking as they go.

That was nice. At least we see how your teachers think. That’s important, isn’t it?

It’s the thinking process that counts. Nowadays, who cares about content when everything is a ‘google’ away?

At least my tutors were good. That’s a saving grace. Well… so much for a world class university.
