Best men for the job

(a man who travels and is seen is appreciated). The lecturer for Maori 101 and 102 is quite possibly the first person to involve his class in a traditional learning situation since the inception of Maori studies. Quite possibly also there are students who are unable to deal with an informal and relatively unstructured series of lectures; students who, unfortunately, have not been inspired by the very real wairua - the essential Maoriness which is manifest during each lecture session. That this is the case does not necessarily mean a failing on the part of the lecturer, but more likely is an inadequacy on the part of those students who are unable to involve themselves closely with his teaching methods. Personally I enjoy the lectures: both for the fact that they inform to a high degree on my study of the Maori language and culture, and because I feel it is high time that all lecturers got off their ass and (o god yes) talk with their students. And as far as I'm concerned the present lecturer for Maori 101 and 102 is the best man for the job.
