Y had a hard time remembering, a

long time ago I was a lecturer. I think
it was from an English Architect. He
was describing his feeling about a
project of his that was being built in
the city.

Our company had a seminar at the

field of IT( Computer networking and
security). It was the last lecture that I
was in that. I think it was good but we
were the host and I didn't listen to it
well because we were doing some
tasks.

I think the last lecture I went to was

about the most common issues
related to MacOS systems, it was a
bit confusing at first but at the first
break all the students had the
opportunity to make some questions
and I get some really good answers
from the lecturer, so at the end it was
more clear for me and I could
understand most of the lecture.

Thanks for the lesson.

Great site!

Well, if I remembered clearly, when I

was in the university that we had a
trouble with many subjects, so these
professors were willing to explain all
of things for students. However, some
subjects were difficult understand that
the one of reason was made a
number of students to fail the final
exam.

I also want to know some example for

the lecture because I was
Mathematics student. I didn't know
about Math that is important in
everywhere. Teachers in my country
didn't explain like that. So, I want to
know about Math that is useful in
everywhere.

I think it was a linguistic aspect in the

field of technical documentation. It
has been asked about how works it
the functional elements in the text?
the professor has explained the
circumstance of my question and has
given me some book.

The last lecture that I attended, was

one year ago when I was a student. I
can remember one case when I had
difficulty understand the payable and
receivable accounts, and I couldn't
know the difference between them. I
asked my professor to found time to
explain it with more examples, and he
did it. He was satisfied with my
question and interest to learn, so he
approached me and explained it in
detail. I still remember his advice and
lectures about accounting.

My last lecture was 3 years ago when

I studied Master about Chemistry. At
that time, I didn't know how to use the
chemical equipment so my professor
gave me some instructions. She
explained it to me step by step,
clearly, slowly. Then, I could do it right
away.

Hello kbravoz,

The question asks about a

particular sequence ('in this
Fibonacci sequence'), so it is not
intended to be complete.

My last lecture at the university was

over 15 years ago so it's quite difficult
to remember what it was about ))
Honestly, it's not difficult - it's
impossible. But I think it was
something special, you know. After
those five long years with so many
lectures, so many subjects to learn,
so many exams to pass, and you
finally got the very last lecture. I think
we were happy and sad at the same
time. Happy because no more
lectures and sad because that was
the end of our funny and careless
students life.

I am a professor at the university. I

hope my lectures are interesting and
my explanations are clear. Maybe I
am right. But I had to remove my few
last lectures to next year due to
coronavirus pandemic.
