I am back. After a long time....Busy with projects ( one more to go ). Today, we had OR end term. Also, there was a rumour that Accounting ( first term) results were out, and our results were commensurate with our performance ( !!!!!!!! ). There was a huge commotion.
Its really confusing. I am unable to understand the contradiction in these, two seemingly unrelated events. Let me explain. Everyone who is anyone is cursing our Accounting Proff for being "inconsiderate" ( How could he do it ? He did'nt teach us properly....blah...blah....) Let me set some some facts right. In any class of his not more than 15 students used to be present. ( and then the talk of him not teaching !!!!!!!!! ).
Its a different matter that he could not count himself among the priviliged few who could command the undivided attention of their students; specifically, attendance without compulsion ( ooff.....thats euphemism at its peak !!!!!!! )
And then after OR the paper ( which was a farce ), the same students were unhappy that the proff had given an easy paper. They wanted to be "challenged".
On one hand they ask for a tough paper, and on the other they cry hoarse against a difficult paper. So ????????????????????????????????
Personally, i feel students alone must not be blamed. An equal ( if not more ) share also lies with the proffs. Consider this..
A proff knows he is bad. He does not want the students to complain against him. What does he do ? He pleases them by giving them good grades easily. At the end of the course the students realize that they have learnt nothing.
Another scenario.....
A proff does not know he is bad. The students make him realize that ( poor attendance ). He gets mad, gives a tough paper, and teaches them a lesson !!
Again, in the end the students are the ones to suffer. The objective of learning is left unaccomplished.
So, its devil vs the deep blue sea. What can we do ????
( I wish i had the answer... DO YOU ?? )
