Back Again

So I'm back at University, sitting in the lecture halls listening to people tell me about their life experiences and how they relate to the course matter, the history behind the person who wrote the course matter and all those wonderful people who spent their lives developing the course matter. I'm not saying University isn't interesting, it really is, I find it wonderful and exciting! It's just that sometimes I feel their should be a class lecturers take before becoming lecturers.
One of my lecturers spent the first lecture basically summarizing the first couple of chapters of the textbook. I told this to my friend and they said "It's for the benefit of those people who hadn't read the textbook." which to me, seems like a complete waste of time, why would we read the textbook if you're just going to tell us what it says anyway, but we come to University and pay our money so we can learn, and we should be capable enough to read our own textbook. I'd read the first 4 chapters of my text book eagerly before classes started so I could be prepared to answer questions and understand why we were learning what we were about to be learning. Instead, I spent the entire lecture wishing I had just walked into class that day without reading a word of the text. I felt like I was a second grader who'd been shot back into kindy. The teacher saying "This is what the letter A looks like.". If they don't expect us to read the text and to prepare for our own learning, why do they call it university. It's just an expensive second high school where instead of Year 12 certificates we receive degrees.
