The Great Pretender

Every semester, students are given lecturer evaluation forms to fill up. It is very much like an assessment. I have a lecturer this semester who is rather boring. Ms. P is a nice lady, no doubt, but her lecturing skills leave much to be desired.

Today during her class she complained that we always look so dull during lectures and that one of the admin staff noticed that. She said that next week there will be some 'spot checking' done on her. We promised to act interested when we see the admin staff.

When Jackson said that, I recalled back my secondary school days. Sometimes we would have trainee teachers doing their industrial training in our class. Most of the time they were absolutely horrible and we, being boys, would not pay attention and cause chaos.

But when the evaluators come to sit in the class, we would be the most obedient angels you have ever met. There would be nary a squeak and we would pay rapt attention to the trainee teacher. While we are doing a great service to the teacher, I wonder how many students are now suffering under his/her tutelage.

My lecturer didn't want to return the assignment to us first because he said it will affect our evaluation on him. (-_-)
