So after my first week @ HES, I think I have a basic feel of how classes actually are conducted. I think it is rather interesting that all my professors are great and all my teaching assistants are complete dumbasses. This TA from one of my classes is absolutely retarded, lets take for example this following transcript:
Student: Can you explain more about the Keynesian Theory?
TA: What exactly is it, uh, that, uh, you want to know (pauses) about this, uh theory?
Student: You know, just what it is...
TA: Oh, okay? but what specifically?
All I could say was... wow!
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about them giving us a regularly scheduled TA meeting, Im just pissed off that there's no point actually going to the meeting.
Okay, enough of that -- The bottom line is that the in class activities are awesome, and the teachers are funny. Outside of the classroom, It's amazing to be in Cambridge, regardless. Maybe this is because of the new atmosphere, and I like change. Even though it's cold, one could just sit in the lawn and people watch -- There's always people walking around and it's always lively. I should take some pictures
Next class is tomorrow, and honestly, I am looking forward to it.
