No spoonfeeding, they said.

I remember 6th form. A lot of teachers used to tell us that we had to get used to jotting down notes while they taught us during lessons, in preparation for university. "No more spoonfeeding", they would say. So there were lessons where we had to write down our own notes to practise for the years that were to come.

Well, here we are now. Has this so-called practice paid off? Partially. In some cases, we do have to type our own notes while the lecturer explains. But in most cases, we're actually getting more spoonfed than ever before. The lecturer waves a wad of notes, tells us that they can be found at a stationery to be photocopied, and then tells us to sit back, relax, and listen carefully. And they insist that we don't write a thing and just pay attention. When we do have to write our own notes, the lecturer tells us what to write, word by word.

Now I don't know, maybe it's because we're still in the beginning of the first semester, but damn, these lectures aren't just easy going, they're becoming boring as fuck.
