I am a lecturer at two London Universities and in my time as a student I remember all too well straining to actually 'hear' and then try to 'understand' what many of my lecturers were trying to say. I hope that now I am in their position, that I am clear and concise and understandable. I still believe that if the student hasn't learned, the teacher hasn't taught. A slight old-fashioned view, but one that is worth remembering from time to time, after all, that is what teachers and lecturers are supposed to do - isn't it?
