ulysses3_deSometimes I love my Professors for trying to make University life easier and more modern. Just take a look at our elearning platform where all the text we have to read are provided or the recordings of certain lectures so that you can hear them again and so on.
Sometimes I just can shake my head at how stupid a Professor can be in the way he handles the new technologies.
I have this seminar that I need to take for my oral exams in political sciences. Its about Public Administration in Germany. No problem with the topic or the Prof (alas he's a bit strange on the teaching side, quite the opposite of most of the Professors I had so far), but the way he uses our elearning platform is hilarious.
He made a really good PowerPoint presentation and we normaly print them out beforehand to write additional imformation on the printouts. That's more or less how it's handled with most of us students.
But said Professor has integrated the PPT as a Flash Player movie into the platform. So now we have no way of d/l it or printing it out directly. And the window is so small you can't even read some of the information provided. Now we have to make desktop pictures, resize them in paint and copy/past it into Word. *ARGH*
*headdesk* Call that economical
