Attended a workshop just to criticize it!


Presenter at the workshop :P

I had to attend a workshop recently, and it was not because I had to participate and learn something from it, instead, I was asked to criticize it.

The whole class had to do it actually, it's part of developing ourselves professionally... although I did not see the professional side of us during the workshop coz most of the time, we were giggling, passing notes around and making faces at the poor guy conducting the workshop.
Don't get me wrong, we are all adults and we know how to conduct ourselves in a workshop, but the fact is, the workshop was so boring and it was beneath our level. I know I'm not that smart, wait a minute, I am that smart, so I take it back, heh. Thing is, the materials that the presenter prepared were all stuff that we teach in college, and most of us know stuff like that in and out, and there he was, assuming we know nothing about what he was talking about, explaining the same, simple concept over and over again... As if that's not enuf for us to pick on and criticize, he actually enunciated few words wrongly, and of course we heard his mistakes all too well. Felt like a vulture that day la.

So obviously la, we got bored and we started doing our thing, which is what students do. hehe. To top it all off, there was some construction going on in the building, and I swear, it felt like they were drilling towards us! lol. It was sooo loud at one point, we were talking, and the presenter was talking, but nobody could hear anything.

The poor guy finally stood in the middle of the class and started yelling his heart out. So finally we decided to shut up and listen, and thank god he finished early, so we all clapped away when he asked, "Any questions?" -_-

I know, I know, so unprofessional, hehe.
