Re: What are your opinions about Professor Leyton Buzzard and his teachings?
I see your point. These theories were new to his students. Professor Buzzard wanted them to consider things from another point of view. It took so much imagination on there part to do so. A knowledgeable man indeed!!!Mimi Kenneth wrote: ↑02 Jul 2021, 03:59 I think his method of teaching is confusing since the scenarios and possibilities he mentioned were unfathomable to the students and when you think you're following you find out you aren't. But, I think he is a knowledgeable man whom one can learn a lot from if you adapt to his method of teaching.

Oh I agree on that sense. Why go off a targent? But in case of lecturing, Prof. Buzzard managed to make it intresting actually. And then I don't think he goes off a targent in conversations; when Gary was explaining his experience on the many worlds theory, Prof. Buzzard was actually attentive and straight to point. Although he did ask questions that doesn't seem to relate, but I think he is only trying to understand Gary more.

He was also an integral part of the entire deconstruction analysis of the multiverse theory and personally, I feel like he was the most important character.

Active learning is accepted as more effective than passive learning, and this professor clearly promotes active learning by making his students think. And I think that is what all teachers do. And at the same time the author directs the reader to think further into the concepts that he introduces, through his own character of Prof. Buzzard.

I agree. The concepts of the book could have been harder to digest if they were not presented in a palatable form. And the author has used this character cleverly to do exactly that.

Professor Leyton was very passionate about his teachings and made the reader want to develop an interest in them. Although, sometimes he could be difficult to comprehend.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 00:18(Location 185 of Kindle version)He was a man who would often go off on a tangent, speaking enthusiastically about a subject we had no idea we were meant to be discussing. Usually, you’d think you were following him, only to find you weren’t when he revealed the real topic. It was his way of trying to get us to open our minds up to different scenarios and possibilities, many of which were often unfathomable.
Prof. Leyton Buzzard was quite enthusiastic about discussing apparently ordinary events in a detailed and a logical manner to open the minds of his students to new possibilities and theories. What do you think about his teaching style and teachings? What is your overall opinion about him?

Yes, he showed a great passion towards his subject, which is essential for a teacher and of which many teachers are lacking these days. His theories are wierd, yes, but at the same time they are really interesting.
