If I want to hear different accents I can talk to some of my friends, I dont need to pay someone whos supposed to teach me the proper way to do something to listen to them speak mangled broken English.
Enough people around me speak Broken English, I go to college where I'm supposed to learn the proper English and what do I get? International English.
Maybe If I take a course on international english, I can have many English professors come in and teach me the wrong way to speak. Maybe I can even take a class on Ebonics so I can learn how to speak slang?
Look I'm not paying to translate, I'm not paying to learn different accents, I'm not paying to try to figure out what some teacher is TRYING to say,
My role is to pay to be lectured properly, in the language which I pay for. If I pay to be lectured in English (not international english, not southern broken english, not ebonics) I want an English teacher who can speak better than I can, and I want a person to teach me how to write code in an easy to understand way.
I dont want to have to translate their verbal speaking and then try to figure out whats going on with the code if I cant understand them.
And at the risk of turning this into a spelling flame, perhaps you should have paid more attention to your English professor while you were busy learning to multi-task in grade 8.Be careful with that Quote, Some people Anim8me2 might assume its a RACIST statement.
Hey they might even blame lack of ability to spell on Race! They may even make comments such as this one Silly Comment
Or perhaps its their own racism that allows them to assume only"certain" people can't spell.
oh wow you must know so much about giving lectures, you TEACH ANIMATION, I'm sure in your animation class you have to teach alot of syntax right?
Face it, in what you teach it doesnt really matter what you say or how bad your accent is, you teach animation, you dont need to explain in detail certain terms.
Lets give a lesson on C in bad english and see how much you can learn.
#inkluude
ent main() {
printf("hellow world"); retuurn zero; }
Yeah thats how you write C code in flawed syntax. Should I teach students that this is really how to write C?
People who cannot speak should not give speeches just like people who cannot read and write should not make it through grade school, I dont care if you are Mike Tyson or George Bush, if you cannot speak, and you cannot read and write you have no business being on TV talking to millions of people giving speeches on national security, or trying to use big words at press confrences that you cant say right.
Bush gets on TV and embarrasses our country with some of his speeches, I'm sure iraqis look at him and pronouce words better than he does, This isnt about race, its about ability.
Tony Blair can get on TV and give a speech and its proper, George Bush gets on TV and gives speeches that a 5th grade could have wrote.
"These evil terrarists" and "Them bad guys" and "We must stop dem from causin terra on our peoples"
I'm supposed to listen to garbage like this? I respect him only because his president, but i dont like his speeches and I think he should let the vice President or Collin Powell talk for him.
I'm sorry but if you think I'm a racist because I dont like people with accents giving speeches I cant understand, perhaps you also believe that people who dont learn to read and write in school are victims of racism too? yeah blame race on everything.
Its not race thats the issue here, theres plenty of Americans who are of many races who speak PERFECT ENGLISH. Theres plenty of Americans like George Bush who cant speak English.
A person with an Accent should not be teaching a class on any Language. Learn to speak English before trying to teach Americans how to speak English in an English class. Learn to speak properly before trying to teach someone a programming language in English, I mean IF i cannot understand what the hell you are saying and I cannot understand your code, what do you expect? I'm not going to pay attention to gibberish.
Now, if you can speak properly without an accent theres no problem, it has notihng to do with Race, if you want to label me a racist its taking the easy way out while ignoring the issue, a person should not be a professor in an American college if they cant get rid of their accent.
Yes I'm nationalist, I love my country, I respect other countries as well, I'm not racist just because I want to be educated by someone I can u nderstand. You can be from another country and be very smart, but that does not mean you are qualified to lecture people.
You can be from America, but if you go over to say Japan and you try to lecture in Japanese and fumble all your words, dont these Japanese people have a right to get angry? Especially if you are going to their country teaching them their native language japanese and you cant even do it properly.

Racist? No, I just dont think someone should be teaching in American schools if they cannot speak American. If George Bush was my professor I'd want his ass fired as well.
I dont like people who cannot speak right trying to teach me anything that has anything to do with language. I'm sorry but its just silly. You want to call me a racist without even knowing what race I am, you must really be sensitive to racial issues, I'm assuming you are a minority?

I took a programming course on VB and it was a complete waste of time.
I admit i didnt take OOP or Data structures. My point is, I know C, i know alot of these concepts, any kinda test they could give me I could pass not to mention i can find out what kinda test they will give before its given.
I learn on my own, I dont really need a teacher unless I'm stuck, If I were writing a kernel, I'd surely get stuck and I'd need to be lectured by a professor, but if its an easy enough assignment why do I need to pay attention?
Write hello world? Write a calculator? Write an mp3 player? Write a chat program? these things i could write on my own and wouldnt really need much instruction.
Now, if the teacher said write these applications in a specific way, say in a way that it is bug free, runs cross platform, and is designed efficiently, this is where I'd need to be lectured.
It depends on the assignments.

They do require you to go alot of the time depending on the size of the school.
Profs are not there to spoonfeed you. The real world doesn't spoon feed you. They are there to offer up the info on a silver platter, but you still must make the effort to reach out and grab it.
So what exactly are they doing that I cant do better on my own? If they arent there to spoon feed me information, I'm sorry but i can get a better more detailed precise accurate source of information.

You can get an education using the internet. Go to a site like http://www.wikipedia.org/, read tutorials on C, C++ and Java, and work with Linux for a while writing open source applications, you'll have as much knowledge and as much if not more experience than your average computer science major.
You dont need a professor to give lectures, lectures are just for convience, so you dont have to do the research yourself.

I've been in classes with professors who simply had nothing to teach. When I'm not learning anything for a lecture why should I pay attention? Why should I be required to pay attention to hello world when I already know C? I KNOW C ALREADY.
In classes where I dont know something and the lecturer is teaching something thats not in the books or on a peice of paper in front of them, I listen, but when I can get that information from other sources, or I already know the information why should I be taking notes and paying attention?
I'm not spoiled, I'm poorer than most people here, I have to take out loans, use financial aid and do whatever it takes to pay for college. Fact is I'm paying to be taught something, I'm paying for GOOD lectures, for INSTRUCTION THATS GOOD, I can do better than some professors so why should I pay attention whe I can read the C tutorial and get more detailed information than they give? And these stupid professors who dont let you ask questions or who get mad when you ask too many questions
Why the hell do I need you if you cant answer questions? you get my point.

That depends on their style of lecturing, the pace of the class, what they are teaching, etc.
A math teacher CAN reply to msgs because math problems can take up 45 minutes on a single problem.
English is another subject which can have this.
Also History, Science, etc allow teacher/student communication. Then theres other classes which move at such a pace where theres no time to do anything but lecture, like philosophy, one big lecture, or programming, usually a lecture or a step by step walkthrough.

How can they allow half blind deaf person to be a professor in college!!!!!
I dont mind disabled people working but certain people should not be teaching certain things,
It annoys the hell out of me when foriegn people try to teach programming languages or english and they cant talk right.
I wish there were some standards, currently anyone with a PHD can become professor, even if they cant talk, are legally blind, etc
So teachers get paid even if they suck and students get punished when teachers suck?
What responsibility does a professor have besides showing up if this is the case?
They show up and they get paid, you show up and you have to follow strict guidelines on how to pay attention and act interested. Oh and you have to pay them for it.

What does calculus have to do with computers? absolutely nothing.
