How most of professors teach!

Dear Sue,
You asked me " How do most of professors teach?"
We have 2 types of lessons: Specialized lessons and General Lessons.
Specialized lessons are main lessons which communicate with our course, for instance, in my course, computer, one of specialized lessons are writing a program.
General lessons consist of a literature, an English language and some religious lessons.

In specialized classes, Professors usually lecture and use slides and whiteboard for teaching. Sometimes students must give a presentation about special subject. These classes have a conventional method.

General lessons must lead our mind and in these classes all students have to say their idea freely . Professors have to listen to their speech even their speech were wrong after that professors can tell students their mistakes in a logistic discussions.

But general classes aren't like this. We have a few free discussions but we can't say every things we want.
In these class, professors teach a book that understanding it is very difficult for us and we just memorize it for a its exam.
When we ask a religious or political questions we hear these answers: "We don't have enough time","Let me teach your lessons after that I answer you" and other answers like these.
In fact they worry about their situation.
Some professors are very sympathetic and they want to answer but they can't so they answer indirect.

Dear friend, these methods are in engineering fields and I think students who study social sciences are freer and braver in speaking and their professors allow them say their idea more than us. They have free discussions more but they have to be cautious about their words.

It is a long letter I hope you don't became sleepy now and I could answer your question.
Your friend, Faranak.

PS. Dear Sue, most of our professors disagree with these methods and the methods of education gradually became better(I hope!).

THE DAFFODILS

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils, Beside the lake, beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:- A Poet could not but be gay In such a jocund company! I gazed - and gazed - but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought. For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils.

FALLEN ANGLE

I have fallen from sky , Fallen to the ground , I am the angle of sadness , Angle of lost hoppes , Angle of lost dreams , I am the fallen angle , Fear me not , I am here for reason , That reason is to have a second chance in life , That life I was given for a reason , They took my wins , They took me apart made me human , I was the fallen angle , But that fallen angle had one chance in life that she was given , This angle will not make the same mistakes she made before , This mangle will go down the right path that has been chosen for her , This fallen angle know what she has to do to be forgiven .

Faranak's Writing

Hi Sue,
My cousin's wedding is tonight in Mashad. Unfortunately, We couldn't go there. I really love to be there tonight so I'm a little sad.
In Iran, we have different customs and celebrations for a marriage. These celebrations are Baleboroon, Hanabandan(You don't have these), Engaged party, wedding party and others.
One of beautiful customs is:
In engaged party we spread a tablecloth and put different things like the Koran a mirror and a pair of candlesticks, some bread and cheese and vegetable, honey, few eggs, coins, flowers and other things on it.
We decorate these in the most beautiful way. Each of components have a special message. I attache a picture of engaged tablecloths, It was for my sister's engaged party.
Dear Sue, brides wear a beautiful white gown like Americans and usually they wear a short white cape for covering with their gown.
Have a nice time.
Your friend, Faranak.
