Here I am sitting in math class, and I really wish that I could understand what my teacher is saying. He is an older Asian guy who talks with very broken English. He is a really nice guy and ridiculously smart with his math, but it is so frustrating sitting here not understanding what he is trying to say, especially because we have a final in less than a week. He says pretty funny things though, and it is somewhat entertaining to listen to his explanations. Right now we are just reviewing what is going to be on the final, and now that I am reviewing the course subjects instead of learning it for the first time, it is quite interesting, but still a mind f@#k. I can’t wait until I am done with math, because I will know so much more. I would love to be able to do multi-variable calculus with no problem, or linear algebra like it’s nothing. I have always been good at math, but learning this high level stuff makes me feel like a genius, which I enjoy very much. It feels great to get a problem right when you’ve spent the last hour trying to figure out how the hell your going to solve it. I do like math, but I hate going to class because of this guy. Are English speaking teachers too much to ask for from a super rich University that we pay so much to go to? I guess so.

He is a nice dude, but I can't understand anything he says. That is probably why we skip class so much.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy math as well and that is probably because I am good at it, but I feel your pain. I had a TA that could not speak English for one of my math courses and it was awful. Sometimes I dont understand how they can get the job.
ReplyDeleteHaving teachers that have heavy accents is extremely annoying. It is quite a bitch to try to learn from them.
ReplyDeleteProfessors/TA's with incomprehensible accents are one of the worst things about college. I am fortunate enough to not have had many of these.
ReplyDeleteI had a math class last quarter where I couldn't understand the professor or TA. It was horrible and I almost failed the class.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how you could possibly get a whole letter grade higher...if you just had an English speaking teacher. The most frustrating thing.
