This year I had two halves of bad teachers. Halves because (luckily) they taught in joint with someone else. On was Betty Swartz, who managed in the second it took her to turn from looking at the picture in the presentation to us to forget what was there. She could say something was one way, then another, then the first thing again. If that wasn't bad enough for some reason she talked to us like we were stupid, painfully slow and with lots of unnecessary explanations about the things we knew and rushed through the material we didn't. Asking was, of course, a bad idea. She'd re-correct herself three times for each question so you really better had learn from reading it in a book. Another wonderful teacher this year was Amazia (I don't know his last name) who taught Biology of the Cell. He went on and on about the wonderful award winning illustrations in one book and the story behind the discovery of DNA and stem cell research. Anything except what he should have, actually. From a class of about 300 I remember we counted 42 during one lesson, and it dropped from there.
Good teacher this year is Oren x2 from Biochemistry. Both of them were fun and knew what they talked about. Also Dr. Jacov Berg who spent two out of each four hours telling us stories. He claimed it reinforced our memory because you remember by association. I don't know if that is the case, or maybe his questions in the test were really easy, but I felt I knew them. So I suppose that's really what matters with teachers, that when it all ends, you remember what they said. And I remember his material.
