As an Engineering-Major-turned-English-Major, I can vouch for the veracity of this graph
Geez, I’d also like to add that all engineering related classes this percentage would be true. Calculus, Physics, and all my TA’s… I can say that I think they lapsed back into their first language somewhere in the lectures daily.
Ohhh, this is so true. My engineering calc professor is Korean. My TA for that class is Romanian. Nobody understands anybody….
Former ELEN student. In one year, I had a Calc teacher who was… well, I’m not entirely sure, but he got his MS in Israel and had the accent to go with it. Add to that a Danish CS prof and an Indian physics prof with a Russian TA, and I spent more time trying to make out what was just said than I did actually learning.
God this blows.
My chem teacher is chinese, and speaks broken english.
My TA for the lab is also chinese, except he can’t even pronounce people’s names in the classroom. I might as well be teaching myself.
My (currently unused) BS in CS I got last year can definitely attest to this.
Me too! Useless degree brother!!
Computer Science, useless??
How is it useless? I earned a software engineering degree last year and its earing me the big bucks now.
Oh, so true.
The first day, all the kids complained about my calc prof and how little we could understand him.
the next day, the TA was worse.
The last word in the label should be “Professors.”
Perhaps the percentage of English-speaking GraphJam participants is not 100–and that’s okay. Just sayin’.
Unless the title is meant to be ironic…. But chances are Boomshadow’s got it right.
MY graph actually goes the other way, I have a turkish professor giving me intermediate English (philosphy).
Being an engineering student i’d say this graph is accurate. Note that the English teacher at my college speaks about as much English as the other teachers. It’s why i took up Spanish.
OMFG so true. My calc teacher barely speaks english.
Very true, but missing mathematics! At my college I never met a single Math professor that spoke English as their first language or even all that well.
You can’t forget science either!
Oh, Science and math are just subdivisions of engineering anyways…
Engineering is maths and science applied.
Conceptual thinking FAIL.
Nope, just looking at it from the other end of the spectrum. (I’m from the top looking down…)
uh. g’eh. fail.
http://xkcd.com/435/
Math and science on a scale…
Part that concerns me: There are 5% English profs out there who do not speak English.
Needs IT professors, they also seem to be mostly non-english speaking
I smell some Georgia Tech students…..
GO JACKETS!
It’s just as true at FSU. GO NOLES!
I do too… nice to see I’m not the only one avoiding homework and looking at a graph telling me that my profs can’t speak English.
I did get an English speaking TA in Calc. one time, it makes a huge difference :\
And go GT!
I’m sure my Vietnam Veteran statics professor would find this graph freaking hilarious…NOT! This is insulting to anyone in engineering.
Not really, just to Americans.
Easy Jimbo, I hope you are trolling because this is the truest graph I have ever seen, I am an electrical engineering major and have not had an engineering professor who speaks english as their first language. They are all originally from india or asian countries. Computer science and engineering are ruled by indian people. This is in Minnesota land of no diversity anyway so if its true in a state where the majority of people are white, by far. It is true everywhere in the country.
The graph says nothing about English being their second language. It just says that the percentage of professors in engineering that speak English is zero percent. Learn to read a graph.
Are they truly speaking english when you understand less than half of what they say?
And it doesn’t say zero percent, it just approaches zero
I’ve never seen a truer graph in my life.
Unless there’s a Spanish / engineering degree, it should really be a bar graph…
This is exactly why I had to change majors.
The odds improve if you can get a lady professor. (We’re already being racist here, may as well add some good-natured sexism.)
Eh, not always true. We had one from Romania, I believe, and she was worse than most when it came to understanding what she was saying. Also, we had a b*tchy lady from Egypt (assumed), and a TA from some slavic country (she was the worst to understand)
this should’ve included computer science, the teachers are all indian and barely speak english
I have to disagrees, my English teacher is Indian.
Strangely, my wife had a chinese for an english teacher. She didn’t understand a thing.
Strange thing is you have terrible grammar, I think you are actually the chinese person! Nice try but there is no fooling me!
This is a big part of the reason why I’m an MCJ student now instead of an EE student…
6 out of 5. This is why I left ASU.
I am Currently a mechanical engineering student at NYU-Poly and i approve of this graph.
I’m a civil engineering student at Marshall and it doesn’t really apply here, but was the overwhelming thing to pull me away from Georgia Tech. GO HERD!
percentage of english speaking graph creator
Y’all just don’t KNOW!!!!
This just means English-speaking people are bad at Engineering?
Vat is going on?
i am a computer engineering major, and i approve this message.
Doesn’t work because languages are discrete data
does anyone know of any credible articles about this prob that i can cite in a speech im trying to write on this subject?
