University seems like a joke so far. Today in computer principles the teacher tried to describe to us the difference between ROM and RAM. Ether he had no clue what he was talking about or couldn’t come up with an example. Well this is how he tried to describe them. Yes he got it right that ROM is read only and RAM is read and write. But then he was saying when you receive emails they are stored in ROM because you can’t change the contents. Now there are few reasons why he was wrong. One ROM is READ ONLY. You cannot write to it. So when you receive an email there is no way it is written to ROM. It is stored on your computer HDD. Secondly he was saying that you can not modify the contents of that email. Well yes you can. For example if you receive the email in IMAP format you can simply open the file in notepad and change the contents and save. That way you can pretend that you received an email from some one with a nasty message etc.

Well it isn’t only just that teacher they all seem as incompetent as the next. You would think after 20 years of teaching the same course you would be more organized than you started and more clued up on what you are teaching.

I hate these kinds of teachers that use to do what they teach for a job. It seems that they have lost the passion for what they do and decided to go into teaching. This lack of passion shows in the classroom to. The only teachers I look up to are those that wanted to be teachers right from the beginning. You know those ones that are like “I want to be a teacher when I grow up mummy.”
