Professor David Crouch- my dissertation tutor


David Posted by Picasa
Today is the last day for this module. Normally we don't have classes on Saturdays.
However, for some reason, we had an extra class this morning.
This teacher is the 'Hu teacher" who I've talked about before.
He's a really hard working teacher and nice to students, however, becuase of that, students in my class didn't respect him during classes.
People brought their laptop to classes and chatted on Internet and typed loudly while the teacher was teaching. They asked their friends to come to our classroom to interrupt the classes, etc. Mostly, onlt half people went to the classes and only 1 to 3 students who're listening. I indeed paid 100% attention at his class because when I saw him, I don't know why, I just felt that my tears were coming out. Such a good teacher's teaching but students were trying to hurt his heart. I think maybe becuase of his years of teaching experience, he knows every kinds of students well and maybe is already disappointed but he still works hardly even though there's only one student's listening.
At the end of yesterday's class, I asked him something about the draft of my assignment realted to what he's talked about during the classes. He was so happy that I had been listening. Actually, he was so happy that there's at least somebody who's listening. He even said 'thank you' to me. This is wrong... this is wrong... we students who are the ones who have to say thank you to the teachers.
People may think that I'm old fasion thought, but when my friends who don't go to these classes at all, I felt sorry for them and I also pray for them that God will let them know what they really want. I admit that one of the reason I study so hard and go to every class is that I don't want to waste my parents' money and I don't want to disappoint them, but when I'm a student, I have the responsibility to be a good student. I now really think that I should just do my best for everything and then let God to make the plan and decision for me which He thinks that is the best for me, but the key point is that I have to try my best for everything.
Anyway, I asked David that if he can be my tutor even though I don't have to decide it until January, but I really like this professor, he's the best teacher I have had here so far. I'm not sure if I'll be able to see him again if I'm not going to stay here to do my dissertation next year, I hope I will. and I think that he's happy that I'd like to take a picture with him. He said that I can put this picture on the cover of my dissertation. ha.
