I am dealing with a similar situation at the moment. My Legal Studies teacher is very passionate about her teaching and honestly that is amazing but her teaching methods are starting to wear away at me. Specifically she has no order or system. I never know where in the textbook she is talking from and she jumps around from chapter to chapter. Like today she said 'okay kids flick to chapter 6??'
The notes on the board a messy and are hard to understand because they are so brief and so many acronyms, i feel like this method would be used when all of us are more comfortable with the terminology, not the start of yr 11.
Like 'The separation of powers includes the judicial, executive and legislative arm' would be condensed to 'SOP ---> Jud. , exec. , leg. , '
I want to approach her about this in a polite manner but do not know how. I do not want to get off on the wrong foot!
Thanks :)

Hey periperi101,
I'm happy to hear that your legal studies teacher is passionate! (legal ftw!!) Personally in this situation, I would ask the teacher to clarify what chapter she is talking from or even on particular abbreviations eg. SOP to separation of powers, both during and after class. If the concept is still confusing, asking friends, other legal studies teachers or atarnotes is also a good idea. If you do find yourself confused after asking multiple people - approach the teacher in a polite manner by raising concerns about your development in legal studies and offer ways to the teacher about changing their methods to accomodate for your learning style, giving examples of how to do so eg. explaining abbreviations. However, I understand that not all teachers are equal, teaching yourself the content ahead of time could be helpful or as a last resort, talk to the head of department/year coordinator/head of learning about your situation, as it is in your right (it would be a denial of natural justice if it wasn't).
Good luck!

Update! Thanks so much for the advice. Talked to my teacher and just said in a polite manner how I have been feeling overwhelmed with the abbreviations, messiness etc.
She completely understood and said if you feel that way other people do probably.
So overall good outcome and I am glad to get it out of the way :D
keen for legal!
