The Sound

This weeks lesson with our new Sound lecturer was really a breath of fresh air, all credit to Simon he knows his stuff obviously. But you can either teach or not, theres no in-between.
Our new lecturer did exactly what we all needed, a sit down with the equipment with him talking through what everything does, a down to the line 'techy' talk for a few hours. We were able to take notes and absorb everything in, we don't need to be picking up the equipment every second to be able to understand what everything does.

I got many notes from the class, notes I can look back over if needs be. Something I couldn't do last year. I found him really down to earth, he knew his stuff but he didn't get into the physics of it straight away which would just lead to confusion. He only talked about the simple things during our first lesson, the basics to be more precise. Just to let things sink in first, you need to be able to walk before you can run.

I'm still no nearer to wanting to do sound in anyway, but I feel I have grasp the concept of it alot better and have a better understanding of whats involved in it. I think he knew sound bored us all so he kept it all very light, nothing to heavy to begin with which would have just shut us all off.

I don't feel too bad about going back to another sound lecture, last year you would have to push my every step of the way to the classroom.

Overall a good class, very down to earth tutor who has a very good way of teaching and well I'm not going to lie and say I'm looking forward to our next class but it doesn't 'bother' me as much now *Thumbs Up*
