Decky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Whats the strangest lecture you have been to? I went to one today that was particularly off topic. It was about website accessibility, 45 minutes of the lecture was spent talking about Shakespeare and Julius Caesar, we even watched a 10 minute video on Caesar. The conclusion? None, when he was done he just went back to website accessibility Must have just wanted some filler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Once had one for Music Business where we just watched Stevie Wonder in concert. All my Music for New Media lectures go off topic, usually onto the lecturers dislike for pop music, big brother and the like. Its tedious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my lecturers are Apple fanboys, anything MS and they go on unbelievable rants. My first lecture with them, one of them screamed that he wants Bill Gates dead We were looking at MS's branding one day and one of them stopped it because he said it was making him sick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Had a really bizarre Indian lecturer who would just free form lectures literally every single time he came into the class, you had no idea what he was gonna talk about or what to write about in your papers. A bizarre class in the whole. Also had a lecturer who was also an Episcopalian priest, total asshole, gave me my worst mark in 3 years at University, but one time he told me he wouldn't hesitate to make up an exorcism ritual on the spot if he felt like someone was possessed by a demon. Some of my most sensible lecturers have been Australians and South Africans come to think of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diddimz Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Not a lecture, but in Business Studies in high school, our teacher decided it would be beneficial for us to compare the 3 major, local theme parks, so over 3 days visit each of them. Mind you this teacher looked like gandalf the grey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behold, my stance on it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/feb/05/comment.media That's a terrible article, but then I would say that since I'm a mac user. Thinking about it though I'd still hate the article even if it was the other way around and Windows was getting a spanking.. it's just a computer and I prefer macs because I've had no problems with the two I've owned compared to the dozens I had with my PCs back in the day and if I didn't have a mac I wouldn't be able to use Logic 8 since it doesn't actually exist on PCs.

Gash Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 College business lecturer only ever referred to me as dick head and a woman business lecturer we had sometimes was a nervous wreck and related everything to her new custom mini! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The one who called me dick head always talked about in the night garden and put clips on through the projector, and used to look at the channel 4 freak seasons through the projector.

Guest Heneage Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 We had a lecture on Porn. Where instead of him discussing the psychological and deeper meaning or porn on a womans psyche and things to that degree, he just went on for 2 hours about what was the first film he saw, the ones he'd just bought and the genres he couldn't get away with it. Someone piped up and asked if it was going to be on the exam . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm not a teacher (I'm a writer) but occasionally I get invited to do lectures. Did one once at Warwick Uni for an MA course on cultural policy about how the Berlin techno scene had evolved and flourished in the anarchic aftermath of the Wall coming down -- ie, in a total vacuum of cultural policy. Half of the students got really interested in it, but the other half were scratching their heads and complaining, "How is this going to help us pass our exam?" I recently turned down an invitation to do one about the influence of nautical uniforms on fashion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
