Respect

I went for my MKT1003 lecture today at NUS biz school from 2pm to 4pm. It has been a lively and interesting lecture and I must say that the lecturer did a great job imparting her knowledge to us. She was humorous and at the same time was able to get the important points across effectively. However, what really irritated me was how most of the students behaved just when the lecture was about to end.

Those ungrateful students just did not bothered about her making announcements and were just busy packing their notes. While the lectuerer was trying to make some announcements about tutorials and a few other stuffs, the whole lectuer theatre was polluted with noise of notes flipping, files clipping and bags zipping. I mean, the lectuerer worked hard for the past two hours teaching you guys and making the lesson as lively as possible so that you don't fall asleep, why can't you ingrates just give her one or two more minutes of respect. Give her the airtime to finish making her announcements before you pack your things and leave the lecture theatre. While trying to save that extra one or two minute, which I think most of you weren't but were simply ignorant of basic human courtesy, you portray a lowly image of yourself. Undergrates, young adults, not knowing how to show some form of basic respect for the speaker. If you were to change roles and be the speaker, how would you feel when u haven't finish saying what you wanted to say and the whole lecture theatre started to ignore you and engrossed in packing notes into bags?

The one or two minutes might be what it takes to spoil a person's day.
