Throughout my classes, I have encountered many sorts of teachers. I believe that both the students in your class and the teachers decide whether the class will be enjoyable. My history professor is a very smart person and he is very passionate when he teachers. He even tears when he talks about John Brown and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. He is a very organized man and if something is out of place, will freak out. Once time he miscounted the quizzes to be handed out for each row and he postponed the quiz until the end of the class so he can fix the order. Another incident when he freakout occurred when the projector was not working. We spent about fifteen or twenty minutes trying to fix the projector. This proves that even a professor with a Masters doesn’t know everything.
Another professor that does not know how to turn on the projector is my English Professor, Cathy. She is my favorite teacher and is the most down to earth professor. She also owns her own theatre. However, she is not tech savvy. One day she asked my class how to use the iPhone. Even the most experienced teachers do not know how to the simple tech stuff.
These teachers have taught me that even the smartest people can have flaws. College has shown me that if you are not computer savvy than you will struggle. When i go to the library all I see are Macs. As I entered college I thought that I would not need to bring in my laptop. During high school no one would bring in their laptop. When a teacher would assign a project my group members would be lazy to bring in their laptop. However, I remember when during my first political science class everyone pulled out their laptops and I saw there with my pen and notebook. Just this past weekend I purchased my first Mac Air laptop; not I take it everywhere.
Another lesson I learned from this was that you learn something everyday. Both professors did not how to do something as simple as turn on a projector. However, in college you can learn many life lessons. For example, the transition from high school and college shows who your real friends from high school are. Unfortunately, my best friend from high school has proven to not be my true friend. However, my other best friend who went to Cortland has proven to be my true friend. Even though she is six hours away we text each other every day and when she comes to visit for the holidays we see each other almost everyday. I hope to learn many more things as the years go by at Baruch.
