Hahaha he was so monotone, reading directly off lecture slides all the time. The only time he seemed mildly interested in the subject was when he was talking about wallabies.

^ my friends invented the most amazing drinking game - you may have seen us in his digestion lecture with the slab of carlton draught. Everytime he pauses and says "uhh" not once but TWICE in a row, you take a drink

Literally every 3rd word he says is 'uhh' but you have to wait a couple of minutes in between double 'uhhs'.

If you can re-watch the lectures still, you'll very much enjoy this game :)

Best lecture ever

Best lecturer I've had at uni: Andy Gleadow for Global Environment (an Earth Science subject).

Reasons:
- Amazing knowledge and obvious passion for his subject
- Brilliant speaker - rarely "um"s or "ah"s
- Uses lots of visual material during his presentations and integrates them perfectly
- Has a really deep, soothing voice.

I'd strongly recommend Global Environment as an extra Science subject - the pracs are very laid back too.

Also Barry Hughes (Accelerated Maths 2) is hilarious. The only problem is, his humour is hard to appreciate because he lectures possibly the most brain-numbingly difficult subject in existence.
The Finnish word pilkunnussija, which translates literally to “comma fucker,” is someone who risks his social wellbeing to annoyingly and persistently point out punctuation errors.

Get on some Johnnie Walker Green Label or above or XO!
Aspiring doctor. Why? For the same four reasons as everybody else. Chicks, money, power and chicks.

I guess he wasn't the best but still pretty good compared to some other lecturers. For example I would rather have someone reading off the slides then the lady in chem who used to blow whistles and always yell "get that" and do all sorts of weird things, stuff like that annoys me but others seem to enjoy it...
