A university is a place where students learn many things. The freedom of doing anything they want gives many students a challenge when it comes to gauging their lives. However, lecturers are always there to give guidance whenever students need it.
During my studies at Kenyatta University, I learned that lecturers are not the same. For instance, not all lecturers teach the same way. Actually, not all lecturers teach.
This was experienced not only in my course but in all courses at the university. Most students at KU will agree that these are the major types of lecturers you will meet at the university:
1. Guardians
These lecturers care about each and every student in their class and the university at large. They keenly teach their students and even go to the extent of ensuring students attended all of their classes. Before the end of their classes, they dedicate a few minutes to give their students some piece of advice.
2. 'Don’t care'
Such lecturers don’t give a hoot about students. They assume students know everything and their role is just to take them through some few areas of the curriculum. They don’t care whether you attend class or not.
3. Ghosts
Ghost lecturers are those who are unpredictable. You don’t know whether they'll come to class or not. They can attend only one lecture just for a few minutes and disappear until the end of the semester. They only give notes and will appear whenever they feel like.
4. Braggarts
We all know who a braggart is right? Well, these are lecturers who will tell you how they have made it in life and the expensive property they own. They take up almost all the class time bragging about their achievements in life.
5. Sadists
Such lecturers are out to cause harm to students. These are the types of lecturers that will always have students retaking their classes. They believe students need to go through tough times to make it in life. They want to ensure students pass through hardships in the university in the name of developing a thick skin.
