I know what you mean! I've been pretty lucky that most of my lecturers have been really easy to understand so I do feel like I am there with them. It is made easier though that we get video recordings of the lectures so we can see it as the internals do which is great. Fingers crossed you don't get her again for another subject. The one that was hard to understand had a really thick accent and I don't think being there in person would have made a difference to that.
Oh yes I have one that drives me insane, luckily enough don't have to deal with him for the next few lectures. He couldn't get facts correct (I did a vent about this - the would you correct them vent). His pronunciation of some words just drives me to distraction, work laughed on Friday during my lunchbreak when I was listening to a lecture and I was mumbling about his pronunciation, all they could see was me with the headphones on, in front of my laptop & hearing "farking hell it is <insert incorrect word here> you ****er"
I'm doing some of my theory subjects online for this degree as I'm trying to fit in work, social life and everything else in, heavens help me when, if somebody has their way, I'll be trying to fit time on the farm & TTC into the mix
I had one who said ALMOST and ACTUALLY all the time. Drove us all bonkers! She'd say it to emphasise a point and also to finish a sentence. Every sentence actually
After a hour or two of her prattling on about colour wheels we were almost actually out of our minds
LOL, I've done that unit. I've been doing one a term while I'm out of the work force for something different (and for some reason saying you're a student goes down better than saying you're a SAHM irrespective of what your qualification was before having children).
A word of warning, that lecturer will actually also be your tutor as well and the one you have week to week interactions with. If I remember correctly, judging by her posts I **think** she may be dyslexic. She would often get letters muddled around. She is really nice, but I know what you're saying, that irritated me too a little.
P.S. You might be interested to know she used to be a middy before switching to history.
