A commerce graduate has called on University academics to turn up for their lectures and deliver something more interesting than “monologues”.
“It’s not nice to arrive at university early in the morning to find that the lecturer hasn’t turned up. It’s even worse when you would have waited through three free hours,” Natasha Bugeja said in yesterday’s graduation ceremony.
She pointed out that it would “be nice” for lecturers to stick to their timetable or, at least, inform the university faculty.
Also, many lectures were “monologues” where academics passed on information to students who were expected to take it all in – “up till the last comma”.
This meant students spent an hour, or even two, doodling or typing without actively taking part in the lecture.
Lecturers should make a “collective effort” and use all means possible to integrate students in the lecture while students should take the initiative to take part, she said.
