JD student watching lectures at x2 speed still fooling herself

Volume 20, Issue 7

A 23-year-old JD student has reportedly sat through a two-hour Corporations Law lecture in just one hour.

The Melbourne Law School student, Tammy Thomas, launched into lecture capture like a bat out of hell this past Monday. 

“You might think I have broken the laws of space and time, but no. I am just clever enough to have discovered this lifehack,” Tammy told De Minimis when our reporter sat her down for a chat. 

“You see, us JD students are busy enough as it is. Sometimes I wonder if I’m the first person in my family to truly understand what that means. Anyway, that’s besides the point – these online lectures are totally boring. If you amp them up to x2 play speed, you will save half your time. It’s simple maths, really.” 

However, Tammy’s housemate is not so convinced.

“I don’t know what the #$%^ she thinks he’s doing,” Hayley told us this morning. 

“Playing lectures at that speed is just ridiculous. There’s no way she can hear a thing that’s being said. Half the time, it just sounds like some sort of robotic cult chant is blaring from his room. And even if she could make sense of the words themselves, Tammy is way too slow to keep up. I know that for a fact.” 

Tammy did not seem bothered when we asked her about this later in the day.

“Sure, I might not understand every last thing that’s being said. But who cares - the important part is that I’m watching all the lectures. No matter how they look, when my grades come back in December, nobody will be able to say Tammy Thomas didn’t try her best.” 

More to come.
