Hello.
My 8th and the final semester has just started. Till this date, me and my friends have not even purchase any book for any of our subjects. And our assignment session has already started. Every week one assignment for each subject; that means a total of 6 every week.
I don't understand what is the fun of making the assignments using the 'COPY-PASTE' technique. Even our worthy teachers know this fact very well. But still because assignments are an indispensable part of our course and we're following it. Ridiculous....
Today one of my teachers dictated us the notes for some topic and at the end of the lecture she gave the same as our next assignment. Had she told us this earlier, I swear, I would have written those notes on my assignment sheets only and would have submitted the same to her.
This is just one example.
It's OK if we have to do our assignments. But the teachers can make them more useful. Instead of the same old boring topics which our seniors have also followed, why can't we have some new topics for our assignments.?? Topics which will add to our knowledge. I know such assignments will going to be time consuming and will require some googling, but atleast we'll be able to learn something new.
I don't know why we people don't change. Why we keep following the footprints of our seniors.? Why don't we dare to think something progressive.?
These assignments consume a lot of our productive time which otherwise we students can use for doing something of our interests or atleast studying our course properly. We study only that is sufficient to score a good percentage in university. Nothing more than that. Even we don't get a chance to implement or use practically what we have learnt. We concentrate more on theory and our practical experience is a thing that is far behind in our education system.
I don't know till how long this scenario will proceed and when engineering students will get rid of useless assignments.

Its true the assignments can be made more interesting and more useful but I disagree on one point
ReplyDeleteWe do get enough opportunities to show our practical skills.We can participate in various competitions which are not a few in college. :)
I guess its the same story everywhere in India.
ReplyDeleteWe suffer from this assignment completion and submission dates problem.
It's totally useless. Everyone knows.
But who cares to change?
Agree with you Deepika and also with Ishu and Ankita,
ReplyDeleteWhole system is based on the Labor work... they are not understanding the Practical things.
ishu: you're right. Actually we don't have much competitions in our college. So we miss all that stuff and hence was my feeling.
ReplyDeleteAnkita and Madhav: M now frustrated with such system. Wanna do something but m helpless at this stage. Something has to be done at bigger level.
But here In ma'am Came up with a great idea!!
ReplyDeletePerson scoring more than 15 in MSTs will get full marks in assignment section
less than 15 more than 10 half of the marks
and Kartik will get No marks outta them :D :D
That I've already told in the class and for the same reason, I not given you ppl the second and the third assignment... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd those who've not attempted the MST 2, will get..... umm.. lets c..... (wait n watch..!!)
