As an Information Systems major in the throngs of my last few weeks, I must admit I have become accustomed to the teaching style of Information Systems professors over those who are not.
I like graduating Senior have to take Business Policy which is offered by a variety of business professors as practically everyone in the colleges of business are required to take this class.
It is this fact that reminds me that not every teacher is as technology savvy as your standard Information Systems professor.
Most notably and the one that most affects my ability to learn is the differences in organization between an information systems professor and one who is not. Almost all the IS profs I have had teach using the use of powerpoints. Powerpoints make note taking much easier on the student, and do one even more important thing, it keeps the teacher from drifting to other topics.
I have a teacher in my business policy who is completely opposed to the use of powerpoint or even D2L. His lecture style is best described as disjointed. He lacks the order and organization that I as an IS major demand of my professors. To be completely honest, I have pretty much stopped taking inclass notes out of frustration due to his teaching methodology.
Now, just to attempt to prove that I am not acting like a spoiled brat, I do keep up with the lectures in class by reading the book chapters, which is what his exams are based off of as well as making sure I meet all the requirements for the two papers he assigns in the class. I'm not stupid after all.
Cheers,

Isn't it obvious I can't think of anything to write for these blogs at this point?
