i never know what to say about my professors. in year 1 i tried my hardest to give feedback on all of them, filling in almost all those empty boxes which appeared on my computer screen. and i actually gave thought to the different questions asked about teaching style and motivation to learn, etc.
this industriousness and concern for the welfare of the greater student body continued in year 2 sem 1, but by year 2 sem 2 i distinctly recall somebody telling me that nobody cares: i clicked satisfactory or average for all the questions, and left almost all the boxes blank. sometimes because i remembered, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say it.
i also think the questions are boring, and too standard for real constructive feedback to be given.
this morning during mo shijian's class we were given an optical answer sheet with questions printed on it, beside those boxes you have to shade.
right at the top of the sheet of paper was a box where we were asked to critique the teacher, and among other options, there appeared the following:-
(this teacher is?)
气氛沉闷、平淡死板 (qi4 fen4 chen2 men4, ping2 dan4 si3 ban3)
boring, bland and stodgy
严重离题 (yan2 zhong4 li2 ti2)
severely off topic
思维混乱 (si1 wei2 hun4 luan4)
has muddled and confused trains of thought
时有迟到早退、上课接打手机等 (shi2 you3 chi2 dao4 zao3 tui4, shang4 ke4 jie1 da3 shou3 ji1 deng3)
often begins class late and ends class early, and answers the handphone during class time, among other things
don't you wish nus had such interesting options as well?

today i am going to make a chicken and rice stove-top bake which i found online, but i have a feeling it's going to, very sadly, turn out rather porridgey. the chicken is now sitting in the fridge marinating.
our landlord was nice enough to offer to install air-conditioning in my room, but i think i'd rather she installed an oven in the kitchen.
