    Who's affraid of the big bad teacher?

    School is ON. For a month now.
    I promised that I will try to tell you a little bit of what I think is going ON in my school...

    First of all I think that studying architecture is more or less like wondering through a maze ... but a maze that seems impossible to escape from. Second: there may be no exit..ever. Is there any "best position" to start from in a maze? The funny part is that maybe the exit is right behind you as you start and as time passes and you get further & further away you start realizing the huge advantage you once had.

    But where is the big bad wolf (sorry, teacher) into all this?
    Usually wondering like you in this maze... the worst part if of course meeting him in a dead end.. there is no way to run..nor can you turn.

    this happens sometimes in my school.. some students are "trapped" by big bad "OLD" wolf like teaches. Some of them wolfs used to be quite agile in their youth but they now seem to have a problem when it comes to digital red riding hoods (aka Red.RH);
    What I want to tell you is the story of a teacher from which all of the students try to escape. How important is a "good" arch. teacher for your future evolution? Very.. But can we imagine that the wolf in the story somehow helped Red.RH in her quest?
    Yes, I want to talk about teachers that showed you what YOU SHOULD NEVER DO or made you start looking elsewhere for answers;
    Share with me your BAD ARCH. WOLFS experiences...

      Hie,
      Just wanted to know more about University of Architecture, Bucharest.
      Are the courses conducted in Romanian or English?
      What are the requirements to join the part 2 of the architectural course?
      How are the studies so far?

      If you have the time, please drop an answer.
      I thank you in advance! :)

      let me tell you (i graduated ten years ago - no, eleven!!) the big bad wolf is as good as the good guys as long as you don't let them wreck your spirit... there's always gonna be a client/ boss/ whatever out there treating you just the same ... so learn to deal with them, even read self-help books if you find no other way :-) everybody has a button - some have the escape one, some have "off" buttons, some you just have to bear and really, look at them as a type of people you're gonna meet again, soon... i think there's one or two like them in every school, for every class, and it really helps later on when you really have no choice...
      would i kick them if i saw them in a dark alley? hmmm, i'd give them a little nudge maybe - there's much better stuff out there to worry about...

      cheers & keep up in there...
