I hate electronic board discussions. especially when the topics are boring and i am compelled to participate since it counts as part of the grade. ironically, the course is on motivation and none of us feels motivated. we have come to the point of boycotting the discussion. it's a cool thing to see everyone boycotting it but it may not be sucha brilliant idea since our grades are at stake. but it's painful having to read everyone's contribution and comment back etc. worse still, the topics are some theory crap which none of us understands. the only theory i got as far as to understand is on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. screw that theory since it is rather obsolete in our present society. and i seriously don't give a damn about trying to motivate others or finding out what are the factors motivating us. there are so many factors that can motivate us that there isnt one perfect theory that encompassess all these factors. plus, those silly theories dont even take into account the ethnic practices and beliefs which could be a form of motivation for some people. I seriously hope that the thick head teacher of mine would realize that nobody gives a damn about the discussion so that he will stop posting so many topics on the board. does he seriously think that we are so free as to keep up with some kinda mindless discussion? and worse still, it's so painful to read through scattered-brain stuff posted by some freakin idiot in the class. i am not impressed at all by that kinda idiocy. i had better stop labelling others idiots since idiocy can be borrowed and i may juz turn into one someday.
