It's where my university program is sending me this spring and I figured it would be easier to get into a program there since I had already attended the university.

It doesn't really matter. The bigger issue is that Master programs apart from the M.Ed. are often extremely small and underattended. They haven't exactly been embraced by Bachelor students, and Paderborn is not a university that can pull a significant amount of qualified students from other instutitions.

However, both Münster and Bielefeld are within a 40-minute drive, and they're both making efforts to develop good Master programs that Paderborn probably cannot afford to make.

The "Lehramt" degree is usually seen as a 2nd class Masters and teachers in general are not that well respected and viewed as lazy.

I'd say "extremely intellectually lazy" is a more accurate term. The typical M.Ed. student seems to either want the job for the steady paycheck or because they really, really like children, but not because of any passion for the subject.

Since the B.A-level classes they have to attend force them to deal with aspects of their chosen subjects that don't transfer 1-1 into their future currriculum, they come to yearn for a ghostly presence hovering over their shoulder telling them exactly what to do with all this information being taught to them. They're some of the most disinterested people I've met.

As a consequence you'll hear many M.Ed. students complaining about how useless university is and that they don't bother learning anything they haven't heard about in their own Gym/Ges classes anyway.

How many Lehramt diplom students did you meet? Maybe you just happened to meet some really poo poo people who happened to study Lehramt, but that's not a quality that is limited to just one subject.

About 80-90% of the students attending any of my BA classes were M.Ed. students (building eagerly towards the next Lehrerschwemme), and I worked on group projects with ~30 of them. Familiarity breeds contempt.

Is there a semantic difference between "Airline" and "Fluggesellschaft" that justifies using the English word in a German text?

Two syllables / a couple of letters less.

The next season of Homeland will be set in Germany, so I hope they'll be able to mine the BND angle for something juicy. I wonder if we'll get to see a Merkel double.

Next you'll tell me that there's a connection between the CSU and Bavarian bankers.

To be fair, he wouldn't be much of a hypergenius if you or I were able to appreciate him.
