If you have a very noticeable speech impediment, you should NOT be a lecturer for a hard course.

So, I had my first Integrative Biology lecture today. The instructor for the course walked to the podium and began to speak. His first few words were fine, but then the third: six-six-six-six-six-six-SIX (very high-pitched)-ty. He did this about every two or three words. A 25 minute lecture took fifty.

Edit: Before anyone rants, I'm not makng fun of him. I'm not poking at his disability. I'm simply questioning his career choice.

Yeah, I'm not getting used to this.

Then, to add insult to injury, they announced that for the second half of the semester, a new lecturer would teach the course. I was thankful. He stepped up and began to introduce himself. He had a VERY pronounced asian accent. When he spoke rapidly, he was completely unintelligible.

It's going to be a long semester.

Edit2: School at UIUC, and before this, I relied on a voice recorder to help study for tests.

That first one is just painful to observe.

You don't happen to be going to school at UIC, do you?

Just sit back and relax, then copy someone else's notes. Don't people read textbooks anymore?

I'm picturing the episode of southpark where they have Jimmy recite "The 12 Days of Christmas" in front of the entire town...

My Electronics 101 Prof was Russian. For 2 weeks we learned all about Resistors, Capacitors, and Glocks. Eventually we all started to clue in that the term "Glocks" was incorrect, as noewhere in the Textbooks could the term be found. Once we figured out it was "Clocks", everything went smoothly.

That was my VERY FIRST THOUGHT when I saw the thread title... I didn't even look at the OP's profile or anything

I have a very noticeable speech impediment, which is why I'm going to be broke my entire life even if I end up with a PhD.
