good sessions, bad sessions

what i have learnt from the last few weeks is that a few sessions (lectures, tutorials, practicals) are awesome, most are average while some of them are down right sad :(

both the lecturer and the students bring something to the table. The lecturer mostly brings his/ her experience and knowledge acquired through,

a) applying the content in real-world, and/or,
b) refining his/her knowledge by teaching since a long time

The students also bring their own experiences in the field as well as a "thinking cap". I really believe that the best way to learn things are to understand the cause and not the effect. by letting the idea of getting good grades or the necessity to pass the unit go, a student can achieve much more from a topic. Studying at university is like running a marathon, if you waste your energy thinking about the goal, the race becomes tougher and tougher, but if you let go of the thought of finishing but try to enjoy and savor what you ARE learning; sooner or later, the finish line will be in sight.

the ultimate truth

behind every successful man, there is a woman
and behind every unsuccesdul one, there are TWO
