Can't teach communication if you can't communicate

Teaching standards have taken a dismal tumble at the U of R lately. As ironic as it sounds, my communications class was taught by a instructor who could not communicate effectively. What the fuck? That's right, she could not communicate. Consider the following:

1. She told me that to communicate effectively "you have to dumb yourself down"

I personally don't think that i have to act retarded to get my message across. Furthermore, its insulting to assume the average person can't understand anything above an eighth grade level.

2. She can't spell "building" without the number 8.

That's right, she can't spell words without using numbers. How can a instructor maintain any level of credibility after that. I can understand transposition errors or even missing letters, but numbers?

3. She talks with her eyes closed.

How can you expect to communicate anything if you can't look at the person while your talking. It is even simplier than talking to an individual- its a audience. There are many sets of eyes. Everywhere you look, there is a set of eyes. Most of them wondering why you would teach a communications class if you can't talk with your eyes open. When is it acceptable to close your eyes? Hmm... how bout when someone is going to punch you in the face. She probably realizes that she's a hack and expects the class to collectively bitch slap her for it.

4. She complains about things she does not understand.

She goes on and on about the follies of technology and how it has made it more complicated to communicate with one another. Its a true statement, however, her problem is that she has no understanding of technology. If you can't use it properly, you can't communicate with it. Here's a thought-read a manual.

5. She can't add!

I know, it's got nothing to do with her communication skills. However, if you can't add, you have no business teaching at a university. You have no business doing alot of things if you can't add. Basic math is required for almost all occupations. Without such skills, she should just stick to jobs that only require her to push a broom.

Communications instructors that can't comunicate.... i can't get behind that.
