I just keep studying the behaviours of students in classes and sometimes i just wonder, how and why on earth do students behave like this, does it mean that we truly have different people from different backgrounds and race in classrooms.
Here is a list out of my study of different students you meet in typical EMU lecture room.
After reading this, ask yourself "Where Do I Belong???"
1. THE GOOD LISTENERS: These ones do listen and jot down notes, they are always found in the front of the classroom.
2. THE ON-LOOKERS: These ones cannot be really classified as good-listeners.. because they just look at the lecturer, so confused.. whether the lecturer is speaking gibberish or mumbo jumbo they just keep looking. and that's how they keep looking till classes finishes
3.THE PHOTOCOPYING/SNAPPING TEAM: Oh my! these people know themselves.. they are always found saying "i beg i no get strenght to write do make i photocopy/snap". This set of people can photocopy/snap anything on paper and on the board they don't care, they just photocopy/snap. If u no hold yourself well, them go photocopy/snap you join. Lol!!!.
4.The "THIS LECTURER IS TOO SLOW" clique also THE NO-TIME STUDENTS: These students are always eager to leave the class if the lecturer slows down or keeps repeating the same sentence like my ENG192 lecturer (won't mention names). They are also the ones that do lie to the lecturers that they are having clashes on their timetable (i did this also... LOL!!!), they also just come to class to mark attendance. Students ehn!!!
5.THE PERPETUAL LATECOMER: These are the people who enjoys and derives pleasure coming to class after lecture has started, they just like bouncing into the classroom and I begin to wonder why the bouncing, some do sneak in and i also do wonder, didn't you pay school fees? They also fall in category 4.
6. THE SLEEPERS CONGLOMERATE: This group can contest for sleeping competition representing their various countries, they sleep without fear or favour, they just find one nice spot to receive breeze and 30mins into the lecture, they are off.
7. THE PEN BORROWERS: Whether they are students or non-learning students I don't just understand, these people can never buy pen, they keep borrowing or taking pens from betting clubs till their bag is full of pen.
8. THE QUESTIONNAIRES: Mehn! these people can ask useless questions ehn!!!.. sometimes the lecturers get frustrated and feel like punching the student..you can imagine somebody asking "sir, the slaves in the plantation, were dey allowed to eat d plantain?", why did you choose to lecture at EMU, What is your office number and office hours? (when they have course outlines with them), how many degrees do you have?. i just get frustrated with these groups, i guess they also belong to group 4 too.
9. THE ABSENTEE STUDENT: What can I say.. these people never attend classes but their names are always on the attendance and they always write quizzes.. are they ghost students???
10. THE FASHIONISTS: All they pray for is people to look at them and WOW.. they have the latest dress in Vogue.. they wear different clothes everyday.. and we that do repeat clothes just hang on one side in classes.
Add Yours!!!
