Lecturing......


“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as if it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.” George Orwell


I was told by my Head of Department the courses that I am going to teach in semester one (June or July 2009). Altogether there are four sections (two courses) I have to lecture. Three sections for ‘Introduction to Sociology’ (SOCA 1010) and one section for ‘Sociology and Anthropology of Organization’ (SOCA 3540). It is a bit weird isn’t it? I did my master in cultural anthropology specializing in organizational anthropology, yet I have to teach ‘Introduction to Sociology’. Hehehehe... Actually taklah pelik sangat kerana sosiologi adalah cabang disiplin di bawah antropologi, cuma ada sedikit sahaja perbezaan. Tak banyak pun. It is not difficult for anthropologist to teach sociology courses, but it is difficult for sociologist to teach anthropology courses. Hah macam mana tue? :P
