Chalkboards, typewriter typed handouts, requirement to use a #2 pencil at all times, colored pencils for accurate note taking, instructors who call you Mr./Mrs./Miss Last Name, instructors who insist that you call them Dr. Last Name, the absence of a computer or PowerPoint in the classroom, and finally, the instructor who utilizes voicemail INSTEAD of email.
I swear that this is a current instructor teaching at a community college...definitely NOT higher education. She is an older German lady who I find slightly charming in her old fashioned quirky way. Let's hope she continues to grow on me!
BTW, the book that I worked so diligently to purchase ahead of time? The wrong one. It was incorrectly stocked as I double checked the course number before making my purchase. What I failed to inspect was the title/author/edition. Coming tomorrow, Inspector Gadget Exchanges a Book.

Colored pencils,no powerpoint. It's surprising that there are some professors that would rather walk on nails than use powerpoint slides during lecture. There are a couple of PHD professors at MtSAc that practically require that you refer to them as doctor. So annoying!
no PowerPoint? How do they teach?
Yeah, no powerpoint! Some professors will ask the class if they want it or not, but you know they really want you to say no. They say it's because with powerpoints the students are more focused on writing everthing down that they don't have time to listen to the lecture. They expect you to follow every word they say and get all crazy if they have to actually repeat something.
Pretty amazing that people still get throught life without email...
