One of our anatomy lecturers is a friendly Indian woman who may have missed the point about what a lecture is supposed to be.
Unfortunately, even if she were the most amazing lecturer ever, she's quite difficult to understand. During one of her lectures last year, it actually took me and my friend a good portion of the lecture to realise that the "eesofaygus" is the esophagus. In another lecture, I discovered that the "vasheena" is the vagina.
Even more unfortunately, she is not the most amazing lecturer ever. I know this is vet school and we learn large quantities of information in any given lecture, but most of the time professors put emphasis on key points. This lady tried to fit the entire textbook chapter on the eye into one 50 minute lecture. There was no reiteration of points, no emphasis, she was just spewing facts and details like a fountain. In order to cram everything in, there was never any halt in the flow of words. Did she breathe during that entire lecture? I'm not sure.
That lecture was pretty much the textbook on audio-book. On fast forward.
I could just imagine how that must've been - really difficult to grasp anything permanently like that! Quite nice how you put it: the textbook on audio-book, but fast-forwarded. Nonetheless, wishing you luck during your next sitting in a lecture!
