We recently had some discussions on attitudes amongst university professors. Here’s a Youtube video of a professor with a very relaxed approach.

Another youtube professor video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hut3VRL5XRE
What? They need as many as 15 tiny snatches pasted together out of context, to give only 53 seconds of misrepresented merriment from an entire one hour lecture? This guy must be a really boring most of the time.
OK, it looks like several students have parts of this lecture on utube. This one puts a lot of those snippets into context:

And the remainder is contextualised here, where he’s getting all excited about an old Chinese classic

I’m not into defending the style or putting it down, but I have zero tolerance for misrepresentation, which is what has been done there.
Aunty,
Agreed. I can only imagine what someone could come up with if they were to record and edit hours of my classes! Actually, wait, that’s exactly what they do when I’m in the studio with Jenny! (That’s a bit different.) Now i’m soundign like the guy in the video.
It coudl be a misrepresentation, but if it is, then the guy’s style is out there.
