Subjects That Interested You That Were Not Taught Well?

This is an interesting question, I remember my time in College where I had taken French as my second language. Everything went on well for the first year, but in the second year, all the three French tutors who used to teach us, went to France one by one, and the new substitutes, who were mainly new graduates, were no good. This really put me off, and I had to take the exams for the second time, as I failed in the first attempt. This really put me off, as I was very much interested to master the French language.

This reminds me of my college days when what one Prof. could not do the other one did. This Prof. who made us hate algebra went on sick leave and the other Prof. took over. She made it so interesting that algebra became my favourite subject from then on.

I was always the kind of student who motivated myself even when I had crappy teachers.I once had this add math teacher who was obviously there for the pay check and didnt care less about whether we learned or not .I eventually did the course and managed to pas it with very little help from him .I worked hard and studied more than I did for the otehr courses

I have had some teachers like that, the most notable being my History teachers in Middle School. If I remember correctly, it was in the first two years when I had a good teacher. They taught the subject well, and it was fun even when I did not really like the subject. Then later on, I had this History teacher who at first appears to be very funny, but I saw through that and the teacher just seemed to be a little bit of a jerk. I remember it well, he was mean but not in the manner that he was strict - he was just mean. He kept implying insults to our intelligence but it was not very noticeable. He would make irrelevant jokes so the class was funny, but he did not make the learning itself fun like the other teachers. I had a hard time actually liking that class, and I dreaded going in that room because the work would be boring and the jokes would be stupid. I did not learn or remember much, and it seemed like he did a bad job at teaching. The past teachers could make us enjoy working and learning but it wasn't so with this one. It was taught terribly.

When I was in highschool and elementary, I really love math, unlike the other kids, I was really good at it. But when I came to college, math professors were talking nonsense, plus they talk to the board and not the students. I don't think they care whether the students learn or not. So I gradually lost interest on math subjects, and when somebody asks me about the lessons on my previous math subjects, I would answer, 'Past is Past'.

My culinary arts class was really aggravating. Instead of focusing at what we were doing, our group (we have 3 separate kitchens so we have 3 groups in the class) was singled out all the time for moving to slow. I would understand if each group have equal numbers but our group had 3 while the other groups have 5. Obviously we are going to move slower with less people but I don't think she understood that concept.

In my final years at school I had the opportunity to do an advanced business studies course which reading up on it was supposed to take in the whole process of running your own business as well as entrepreneureal skills. Sadly the teacher who taught it basically did so in such an impassioned manner that it ended up a course of reading the text books and nothing else. It ended up a complete waste as whilst I learnt some theoretical business skills from the books they meant absolutely nothing because the teacher never taught them in a real life business context.
