Ever had that 'oversabi' classmate way back in Secondary school or at the University who just knew it all?
Welcome to my world! I'm stuck with one. :-(
To ensure we're (online students) actively engaged in the course, we're encouraged to create forum posts to discuss topics relating to the course content, assignments etc.
There is this Kenyan babe...she can create discussion topics ehn!!!! Choi! From HR practices in Kenya to the colour of the Sun! The annoying part is not the creation of posts and the infuriating notifications I receive when I log into the University website, thinking it's a message from my Tutor, it is the fact that she creates discussion topics, asking questions she already knows the answers to. Who does that? How do I know that? Na she dey ask the question, na still she dey answer am...how actively she pursued airless discussions.
To what end, I have continuously asked myself. To prove to the Tutor that she is on top of the course? (so you know, there are no extra marks for this) Or to prove to us (her fellow classmates) that we're just a bunch of God knows what. Trust my fellow classmates (Africans...typical), we have just left her to be creating discussion topics and discussing them all by herself.
On one occasion, she created a topic about the emergence of bitcoin in an economy (a sub-topic on the course content that till date, I still don't understand what that has got to do with this HR module).
I desperately needed someone to talk about that as I have, sort of, indirectly asked the Tutor about this. I decided to reply the discussion thread by asking her how this relates to the course content. Her response? Not the answer I expected. Not an answer at all.
She was aggressively friendly...glad someone dropped by.
She talked about everything else but my question...not on the discussion thread by the way (for obvious reasons), but via a private chat message to me. She probably didn't want the Tutor and anyone else to know, as a first, that she didn't know the answer to that question.
Hmm...till next week Sunday (God willing)...like everything else, this too shall pass.
Maybe she just likes to talk
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe. :-)
Deletelol. Sharp babe, she nor wan fall her hand, who does that to oneself? :-)
ReplyDeleteJust take heart, it's only for a time :-)
Thanks! :-)
DeleteWell, at least she was honest enough to admit that she did not know the answer.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't really say she didn't know the answer to my question. She talked about everything else but my question. Got me really confused.
DeleteGuess she loves to chat and got carried away; so forgot your question.
ReplyDelete"Oversabis" have been part of my life. I meet them everyday. As soon as i recognise one, I press the ignore button. I no get their energy biko...
Hahahahahaha! :-)
