- Heard of ``oar see ng chuch lai tei ngang''. I thought only American
- kids complain about thick accent!. I had a wide range of lecturers
- when I was a student but I never had problem getting what they say.
- The problem must be with the listener then? Talk to them, stop them and you
- will learn more that way. Not writing to a newsgroup with world wide
- distribution and complaining behind their backs.

- ....aka the spoon feeders. Remember you control your destiny and
- they are there to guide/help you. It is also ``lonely'' up there.
-
-
- However I don't mean to say that lecturers should not improve
- their teaching skills but just remember that it takes two.
