Also whenever I'd put my hand up to comment on something she'd misinterpret what I was saying and tell me I was wrong in front of the class and it was frustrating because she'd continue speaking and I'd realize that what I said was actually correct! Also she'd go on and on, detail by detail, over things and I found this tedious. Of course I've read tonnes of books so already knew alot of what she was saying so I guess she was just doing it this way to help the rest of the class but still it was frustrating. Also she'd often tell me that my writing was too narrative, it was fun to read but lacked "logical analysis". For the final 3500 word essay she told the whole class that we'd better get to work early because if we saved it for the night before we'd end up with a D. Well I did it the day it was due, handed it in a day late and got a B, damn fear tactics, lol
In my history of the enlightenment class, on the other hand, my prof was INTp. Best class ever! we had creative license during the year to do 3 reports on different works from the enlightenment. I still remember alot of the information i learned from these one year later and because the reports had to include biographical and contemporary details I was able to note many relations with other things (Ni). Also, whenever I spoke during class the prof. immediately knew what I was talking about. Sometimes I'd stop midsentence, thinking what I should say, and she would finish the sentence for me as if she was right on track. I notice I have this type of understanding with INTps, I love it. She'd be lenient with due dates etc. I received, from the prof, the feeling that she actually wanted us to learn, not just to follow some dumb little routine.
I had an ENFj prof for my media class last semester on "cultural imperialism". He was very charasmatic and presented the material well, but obviously in a subtely biased anti-america-capitalist way, lol. He was very approachable and wasn't too harsh with deadlines. It was a big class, unlike the previous two, so I made less discernable observations.
My Classical Studies prof was INTp
My Feminist History prof was ENFj
I don't know what types my french profs were, but i took french for 3 years, with 3 different profs, and they all taught in a VERY one-dimensional way that I couldn't grasp, I finally gave up. But when I went on an exchange to Quebec and was put in an actual french environment I learned very well so I'd say my french profs were of types not conclusive to my learning.
-----------------
My favourite type of prof is definitely INTp! They were all brilliant and focused on the big picture. They were lenient with deadlines and respected the concept of "mandatory attendance". Also they seem to grasp the ideals of what a post-seconday education should be - a way to expand your mind to new concepts, new ways of doing things etc.
Types of your rofessors / lecturers and how you get along with them
- loyalty, being on time, coming to see him in his office. Politeness. A lot about rudeness.
. It seemed somewhat illogical that he would talk about politeness and then state how he likes to pick on some people at times, he made fun of one girl quite a bit in the class. Not 'made fun', but you know, typical Se remarks that are designed to make someone feel like an idiot and make the person who says them feel better because they are using an ego block function.
well enough, or at least has a good mastery of Te, so that I enjoy the notes, and the textbook as well.
