Let's talk about a theory I thought of a few days ago.
The theory of Lecture Lag (defined as LL).
Definition: Lecture Lag refers to the period of time of which the attendees of a lecture which just finished are still in stationary motion, as though the force of inertia is acting on it.
Hmm... so why Lecture Lag?
This is a strange phenomenon that occurs after every lecture. Students would remain at their positions while other more "enthu" students pack up and leave, and these students will "stone" in their seats for a few minutes before leaving reluctantly.
By "reluctantly", it's not because we love lectures. Truth is, it probably is so boring that we almost fell asleep thus explaining why we are in a "blur" state after lecture ends. xD
Reasons why we should practice Lecture Lag:
1) Moving off quickly just after the lecture ends is unhealthy. Your brain needs time to absorb the information taken in during the time you were
sleeping listening to the lecture. What better way than to stone? :D
2) The couple of minutes lag-time is a good way to relax and
talk cock sing song discuss about what was just taught. Yeah right. More like the one striked off though. :D
Then why is there no "Tutorial Lag"?
Simply to explain, Tutorial Lag rarely occurs. We have a team of very good teachers teaching 03/09, so their lessons aren't boring at all, so why lag? LOL.
So in future if you see any classes practicing Lecture Lag, it indicates that:
1) Lecturer is so damn freaking boring.
2) They have very good subject tutors.
So yup, this are just some of the few things observed in school. :D
Oh and, my class practices Lecture Lag after every lecture. So yeah, you should know the implications. xD
