Listening and Critical Thinking

i hate having classes with certain lecturers. i dont know why i just cant be focus. it could be my problem but maybe it takes two hands to clap! hahah! im not trying to put the blame on other people but can u guys imagine having a person standing in the front keep reading words by words from the slide with "monotone"? no extra explanation, no interaction with the students, no everything. whenever there was some students who tried to ask a question, the lecturer will always ask this back, "where were you when i was teaching just now? were you daydreaming?". see what i mean?

it is not that we dont want to pay attention, we tried so hard to listen, to understand the lesson. apparently, we were looking forward to some not-so-boring lectures but i got carried away each time when i was in XXX class. and now only i realized that was called mental distraction. i tend to daydream, leave my mind blank. i swear i tried to listen what was XXX teaching but i just cant be focus!

however, not all the lecturers are that bad lah.. there are some other interesting lecturers too! some lecturers can just grab your attention when they started to talk. maybe they dont speak in monotone? i like having classes with those lecturers who interact with students, giving examples or stories, so we dont get bored. ill become a critical listener then :)

by the way, miss allison doesnt speak in monotone!
