When someone talks the entire time in CLASS i forgot to put that in there. I can see talking a little but having a conversation the entire time the professor is giving a lecture is annoying. At least for me.

You should meet Paul Laffoley! Damn that guy can TALK!

Thats basically what happens whenever I try to converse with anyone...

lol it happens just zone off and pay no attention at all then lol

That has to be the worse. A prof can make a class boring as hell when they teach like that, and you can even like the subject. The best prof I have had so far used the Socreatic teaching method. It was a Biology principle concept class, and it was good as hell. We hardly used the book, and he constantly asked questions. He encouraged conceptual learning, and did not want people to just remember the facts.

Too bad, most profs give the "POWER POINT SPECIAL".

Now that's what I don't care for- power points. I've had several profs over the past couple of semesters literally read the power points to us verbatim. What a waste of everyone's time. Then again I have a prof who makes it through, at most, 4 or 5 slides and winds up talking or sharing personal stories the whole time. Not saying that's any better, but at least they are trying to keep our attention instead of reading to us.
The best profs I've had are the ones that don't use any power point slides, and barely use the book. They know their stuff so well, they can get up and write out notes from memory and explain everything to us without some sort of guide to refer to. These are the classes I do the best in, too.

That reminds me of what happened last year in my Communication Technology and Social Change class. For that class we had to give a group presentation on an emerging form of technology; E-Bussiness, File-Sharing, Video games, Open Source etc. All the presentations were annoying because all of the groups except ours relied on youtube, and every person from the groups did nothing more than read the slides of the powerpoint Verbatim. Luckily I had a tecnology nerd for my group and he could speak on what the topic was without being overly dependent on the slides.

The last presentation was hysterical because the last group topic was on video games and the same guy who was in my group criticized the fuck out of this group while they were giving their presentation. "NO actually thats wrong," "No actually the reason why.." It was funny because they just read of the slides and didnt really try to understand the information let alone try to debate him. I kind of felt bad though but still though the presentations but most of the class to sleep they failed to engage the rest of the class.

Kinda late on this one but...

I'd tell em to shut the fuck up because they're not paying your tuition...douche-nozzles...

This would've been better had I quipped it when this was actually a relevant post...just having fun reviving old topics...

That would be funny. Yea this happened in a class i had spring semester

How about people who have entire out-loud convos when you're at the movies, at a concert or even watching TV or listening to some music.

During class is really irritating though, glad I'm done with school.

When I was younger and I'd go out with my family to a restaurant or something, and my Dad would pull some shit. If someone next to our table was being loud and laughing my Dad would join in on the laughter and be overly dramatic about how funny it was. And then just stare at them waiting for them to start the fight. Great childhood memories...
