[Dethrone]

My first day at a university next month, too. :D University buddies (Nod) Which university and program?

 

[alyafey22]

Best of luck. A new level always brings a new challenge.

 

[ineedhelpnow]

@zaid thanks. :D

:) HE ACTUALLY CHANGED YOUR TITLE? NO! well can't you at least put a cute squirrel or something as a profile picture

 

[ineedhelpnow]

Just to note, a find this very interesting. I have never seen zaid post. I see him come on for like a few minutes and then leave but this is the first time I've seen him post :D

 

[mathbalarka]

Zaid is outta integration problems. :D Otherwise, he is a very active contributor.

I seek to go through this one day.

 

[ineedhelpnow]

First class was OK. It was digital fundamentals and circuits. Teacher was good. The class I'm in now is intro to programming. Soooooooo boring! He's trying too hard :/

 

[alyafey22]

I rarely do browse because of internet nonreachability. Speeking of programming, May I ask what programming language are u studying?

 

[ineedhelpnow]

its a general overview of ALL of programming. He's focusing a lot on C++. all he talked about today was software engineering and then the "plan" for how to design softwares. so so so boring. and teacher is just...boring. and his accent was kind of hard to catch on to especially because he talked really really really fast.

 

[ineedhelpnow]

but my first instructor was great. he keeps the class simple. i like he's able to enlighten the mood at 8 in the morning. and he makes the class like super easy. also (unlike my other teacher), this guys accent is wowing :D. lol and I am not tall but I am like 1 ft taller than both of them.

 

[Dethrone]

You are unlucky that all your teachers are boring:

hey MHB...again. lucky me gets to take calc 3 this semester (Dull) which kinda sucks because my teacher is probably the most boring teacher alive. Mr. monotone

Maybe all teachers are boring...
I say MarkFL would make the best teacher! :D

Spoiler

Now I can get my title extended to 48 hrs :D? (Bug)

 

[ineedhelpnow]

trying to win him over huh?

 

[Dethrone]

Shhh...(Lipssealed)

funny part is what many got me really confused is that the second instructor would pronounce his s as r. so if the letter s came twice in a sentence, he's either pronounce it as r to second time or just cut off the word half way and expect us to know what he meant. i mean i don't have any problem but he's got to learn to slow down a bit when he talks.

 

[I like Serena]

he talked really really really fast.

That's good! So you can learn faster. It only means you also have to think faster! ;)

 

[ineedhelpnow]

or it means while he's talking fast I am still stuck one mile behind

my first instructor for the digital circuits class is going to give us a quiz to make him guess where he's from based on his accent.

Any examples?

 

[ineedhelpnow]

deciron instead of decision. or conclur instead of conclusion. those are the only i can remember because he used them a lot. yeah i know. makes you wonder. (Headbang)

 

[I like Serena]

I used to have these French instructors when learning to fly.
French people have a definite issue when trying to pronounce an 'h'.
They would say for instance: "fly igh up in the hair". (Lipssealed)

So at some point we gave them some feedback on English pronunciation:

• "high" instead of "igh",
• "air" instead of "hair",
• "right" instead of "left".

The last was particularly funny, because when someone was almost flying into a tree, they yelled: "A droite! A droite! Ehhh... to the left! To the left!"
Suffice to say he landed in the tree.

This is when bad pronunciation can have some worse effects than just putting students to sleep. ;)

 

[ineedhelpnow]

learning to fly? what are you, a bird? there's the one french teacher that teaches chemistry at my community college and her accent is VERY STRONG. like hard to understand and she'll always yelling which makes it worse. this one I am having trouble with for programming is asian. I am not sure where he's from though. he looks chinese. he'd be understandable if he didnt talk so fast. and then the one for digital circuits, he has an accent, but it's understandable and sounds cool. I am kinda unsure where he's from. I am thinking either jordan, lebanon, or egypt.

right instead of left isn't a pronunciation issue. its a vocabulary issue hahaha.

Nope. Birds are better at landing in trees.
Me, I'm more the type to crash into a tree.

[ineedhelpnow]

you're MHB's favorite bird (with a broken wing)

 

[Dethrone]

I say another title change should be in order. (Smirk) This time, maybe in green :D

 

[ineedhelpnow]

2 classes down. 2 more to go. (Dull) and this only for today (Worried)

we're going to have a major title problem on here :D

It happened to me that I walked late into an advanced course.
And with the attention of everyone on me the teacher started talking to me... and I just couldn't understand what he said... and he was becoming more and more agitated! (Worried)

And suddenly it clicked. He was speaking English with a fairly heavy Russian accent. Only then could I understand and answer him. After that I didn't have any trouble following what he said. At that point I was glad that he quieted down and was apparently satisfied. (Wasntme)

 

[mathbalarka]

run for your lives! mental moderator on the loose!

 

[ineedhelpnow]

Just had my intro to comp engineering class. Good class. Weird teacher.

 

[mathbalarka]

fortunately you haven't been to the math class (yet). the students there will be as weird as the professor.
