今天John怒了，准备了一周的course没能上演

An Open Letter to …… PH.D Class IV

it is with heavy heart that this letter is being written to this class of students. the events that transpired during the week of april 13th was substandard and not befitting a class of this caliber or level of studies.

when one student leaves during class time, without permission to pick up a fedex parcel, is met by me in the hallway and when asked whether permission was granted, the answer was……”My phone did not ring!” how did the student know that there was a parcel waiting? i believe more attention is paid to look at a cell phone than what is going on in the classroom. that indicates to me where the priorites are!

each student was notified and wared for 4 weeks that personal presentation would start and what was the result? one student was laughing through most of his presentation and others presented such a weak one that there is strong evidence that no time was spent on preparation. the proof lies with the manner of substance contained in the presentation itself and its delivery. yes, i am aware of the pressure placed on you for maintaining a high academic standard in your studies in program of your major. however, this does not invite you to be slack concerning this perquisite course of oral english. you require a specific mark in order to pass and obtain your degree from this course. i would conclude from your actions that you would be high school students rather than PH.D. students solely based on events for the past two weeks.

coming from canada to teach in this school was priviledge and anhonor especially being recommended by previous teachers, i deem it that each student is not satisfied with the curriculum of this class and its teacher, hence these events and troubled classroom atmosphere. thus i am willing to remove myself and norify the english department accordingly and you may continue your studies in oral english by yourself and user whatever means to improve your level and competency.

on the other hand, of the students of this class are willing to do their homework, do their presentation in a orderly manner which indicates that serious effort has taken place, i am more than willing to continue in this class with the format laid out in the syllabus. every effort will be extended by me to correct, instruct and introduce new vocabulary, and pronunciation in an oral setting. the choice rests with each student in this class. when you are serious… email me at [email protected] and i will return to this class. your time as well as mine is valuable and it is too precious to waste… …thank you!
