It wasn't like that in MY day...


Here's a post to complement the challenge of communication between Universities and staff posted earlier. It's about the communication between lecturers and students:


What the Lecturer says:
What the student hears:
Remember that you are “reading” for a degree
Google it
Make sure that you research this topic fully
Google it
Make sure that you catch up on missed lectures
There’s bound to be something on YouTube
A deadline is a deadline
You can have an extension
Please come and see me during my “office hours”
Drop in anytime
Next week we will have a guest speaker from industry
Ah, a long weekend…at last
Plagiarism will be taken seriously
Voyeurism?  What did he say?
There are no “right” answers in real life
Keep pestering me and I’ll give you the right answer
The only way to get a good degree is to work very hard
3 years of relaxation and they’ll give me a certificate…what’s not to like?
There are alternative courses of study if this one does not suit you
Google it
