Communicational discordances

By the end of the semester, interactions with the student get an accession, in both direct and indirect forms. I guess I'm coming up with nothing new here if I say that there usually is at least one student in every group who haven't said a word to the topic of the practical course throughout the semester, but now, under the pressure of the imminent end of the semester, they turn into eager little pupils, and seek every possible way of finding the answers to their questions. Even if their questions don't make any sense, and even if they have been answered ten times already, including the previous day.


In these cases, under the horrific pressure I've mentioned earlier, they have no time to think over what they sould express, and so, usually, as I have gently mentioned above, these are the things that usually happen when a desperate student starts to speak:

  •  The question has already been answered - multiple times - but they didn't notice.
  • They intend what they have to say to be funny, but it isn't. By far not.
  • What makes what they have to say funny is that they are serious about the whole thing.
  • As a whole, the question has no connection whatsoever to reality as we know it.

Felbecsülhetetlen

Hogy mi a felbecsülhetetlen élmény? Például az, amikor az ember csak véletlenül beugrik a lebetegedett kollégája helyett ZHztatni. Aztán ismerős arcokba botlik. A korábbi posztokban emlegettem már például a világ talán legnyilvánvalóbb plágiumos védését, vagy a kedves hallgatót, aki a diákhitelével akart esetlenül zsarolni. Ők is ott voltak.

Így képzeljük el az arckifejezésüket két évvel ezelőtt, amikor az említett történetek lezajlottak.
