You used to bunk 3 days out of 5!! Lucky you. Because I can't think of bunking more than 3 classes per week as in my college the minimum attendance required is 70%, otherwise they shoot a letter to the parents, and parents have to come and meet the professors. ( I am sure in other colleges and universities, the condition would be worse.)
And I can't understand the logic of this, because the teachers themselves aren't motivated to teach their subjects. So, after 5 mins of lecture, we start asking for time! Some people have literally slept sitting on the first desk
I don't know about your friend, but I damn hell can teach a few subjects better than my teachers! Now, I am not bragging here, but one can't help when your professors aren't specialist and don't know anything more than whats written in books.
thats what happens in BITS Pilani.
but with such freedom, most cant fight the urge of distractions like booze/drugs/girls/internet/pr0n & end up wasting their time & parents money. Few manage to use the time constructively and excel.
I thought i was just hypothesizing, but does that really happen in BITS
Anyway, what I said isn't feasible. Because if that does start to happen, my University will better start calling itself IGNOU!
What I meant was that, we should be given a prescribed syllabus and books. And just let us decide when and whose classes we want to attend. I mean I am not attempting to become the next Education Minister here, but aren't we grown up to decide whats good for us.
Yeam but then th prescription isnt always suited to all colleges. To inculcate this feature you have to make accomodation compulsory in hostels, otherwise day scholars would be in grave danger of lagging behind their peers, given the hostelites shall have 24x7 access to the teachers.
So, its not always feasible. I suggest all colleges be rated according to their infrastructure, faculty and management and ranked thereby. Also scrap state entrances and make a common entrance test for all.
I tell you what, when I took admission in my college, I was told that it's one of the best in the University (according to some people made ranking). But later I came to know that all colleges in my University were worse. Mine was better, because it was just bad.
So unless, the ranking is done by some reputable organization, it's of no use. BTW do u think, fairly ranking 1000s of engg. colleges (good, bad and ugly) is even possible?
Yes but there should still be classes. It should just be optional to attend them (i.e. no attendance crap).
I agree, because not all teachers are bad. From my own experience I can tell, that if the teacher is good enough, students themselves come to the classes, not for attendance but to hear the lecture!
No. At your age (10th std) I was more confused than the commentators trying to figure out Ravidra Jadeja's exact role in cricket.
Well worded. Though its all about putting money on the table, if you do what you hate, its as good as watching Ravindra Jadeja wonder if he's playing cricket or golf, coz it's been torture to figure that out till date.
Dude you don't like Ravidra Jadeja, wee bit. Do you?
Yup, thats the standard of the engineering education. One of my professor didn't knew virtual function in Java and he took EJB for us. Its like WTF!!!
Its not Bachelor of Engineering ( B.E )anymore, its Bachelor of Prestige ( B.P )
