Unintelligible Professors

Yep, I passed Chem 213/Intro to Chinese. Nice guy, but it was a collective group effort to master the Mandarin language.

you just described my Statistics class perfectly
the class was a lot of work but i can now count to 50 in Chinese

i don't know about unintelligible professors, but i'm fairly certain all my teachers had at least one unintelligible student

And it's not only school, I swear, everytime I call the HP computer people I get a representative with a strong accent and can NEVER understand them.

Ah, the HP person on the phone is probably in India.

I only got one C in undergrad and one C in my MBA studies -- taken at a college in one state and a university in another -- both C's were in Economics and both were taught by professors from Australia.

The C I received in undergrad was from one of the two worst professors I've had in my life -- this one was hired by the college I attended only because he had formerly taught at Harvard (I could see why Harvard got rid of him). The other worse professor I had ever was also in undergrad and this professor was hired only because his brother was the Chairman of IBM (honestly -- same last name and they looked like twins) and the college thought that connection would open some funding pipelines.

[OK!]

I'm leaving in about 2 minutes to go to my Intro to Java class with an unintelligible professor, though I'm getting used to his accent. He's Indian and seems like a very nice man, but the first class consisted mainly of me looking at him like, "Wha--?!" all night long. Thank God he posts Power Point-ed lecture notes in advance; then I can kinda sorta follow along.
