This is what I doodle when I'm bored at work. One of these days I'm going to bring in some well sharpened pencil crayons.

My partner thinks I'm nuts.
Could be worse. She online shops when she's bored. Last week, she bought a house.

This post turned into an unintentional rant, so proceed at your own risk.

I was doodling today in class during a video, and my friend next to me said my professor was staring me down. She already hates my table group. She told us at 1:58 (class starts at 2) to start quieting down because "she knows we have trouble with that". Great way to earn respect in a classroom. She then did a read aloud (it's a reading and literacy course), asked us who the author of the book was. Nobody knew, and she got snippy and said, "well you should know because I'm going to ask you on your quiz". First, how on earth is knowing the author to a read aloud book (the book has literally no other purpose than to be a read aloud, it doesn't connect with anything else) going to make me a better teacher? It's not, exactly. She then said we didn't give her the answers in a discussion on Wednesday that she wanted, so she showed us a "really good" (her words, not mine) video that recapped the entire chapter. The video was of a man standing in front of a power point reading off the power point. Not even a slight expression in his voice. Complete monotone. She then told us after that video we should now be able to "recite" and "memorize" the 5 stages of the reading and writing processes. Now just imagine sitting through 4 years of education classes learning that showing videos, using power points, reading from textbooks, reciting and memorizing are not best practice teaching, and then having to sit through all of that after being told "we have trouble with that".

I don't get riled up and ticked off easily, but her condescending tone really irked me. And it'd be nice if the professors who tell you to be progressive and hands-on while teaching actually did the same thing when they teach. Lecturing and teaching are two completely different things. And you have to show respect towards your students before they'll respect you - classroom management 101.

End rant.

I could. I have dozens and dozens of them.

@PUSH - I also doodle when I am concentrating. Every single page of notes I ever took in high school and University had an equally full doodle page beside it. After a bit, my teachers just accepted it. My grades clearly indicated that I was taking in every word.

For the record, for some teachers you simply have to recite, memorize and regurgitate for the exam, in order to pass. It pleases them to see their words recited back to them verbatim. They don't care if you understand. They don't care if you agree. They just care that you memorized their oh-so-important words. Thankfully these teachers are few and far between.

@PUSH - if that's the worst education professor you come across, I'd say you're very lucky. In all the ed courses I ever had to take, I can easily count on one hand the ones who had any helpful and pertinent information. Most have never taught in a real classroom with real children with real problems. You'll realize this better when you start your first real teaching job. Don't let her get to you.

Doodling has been shown to be beneficial to some students. Many students can't just sit, listen and learn. I know I have to be doing something engaging or I zone out.

And I'm well aware of those types of teachers. It's just you'd think a teacher who's teaching me how to teach would model best practices. :rolleyes:

I've had plenty of bad professors. Most of them I just think are idiots, but this one is the most condescending one I've had. Last semester I had the greatest group of professors I've ever had, mixed with an awesome group of classmates, so coming back to reality is a work in progress.
