PROFESSORS & CLASSES

Hi friends.

First of all I would like to apologize for my delay with my new blog entry. I was busy in college due to academic work (it seems a bit funny to be ‘busy’ in college; that too due to academic work! But yes; I was busy), so I was unable to give proper time to my blog. But now, after my first semester is over, I have ample amount of time for blogging (it’s difficult to believe that first semester is over; it’s true that time flows very fast). The next thing I would like to mention is that this blog entry aims to present the scenario of a typical IIT college classroom.

IIT is a place full of surprises and things not to be expected. One of those surprises are the classes and professors of IIT. Most of the students of IIT (including me) expected absolutely brilliant professors, but the reality turned out to be quite opposite. Though all the professors are full of knowledge (some have done masters from one of the greatest universities!), still the classes are too boring and sleepy (Actually you feel weird if you don’t feel drowsy in class someday!! That is the level of boredom in class :P). Bunking the class is extremely normal, resulting in an attendance of as low as 15-20% in some subjects!  Well…maybe the reason of such a great number of students bunking the class is the ‘fact’ that the knowledge before the start and after the end of the class is absolutely the same, as we understand absolutely nothing in the class! The class is really non-interactive, barely any interaction between professor and student takes place during the class (Except some extremely studious students who ask their doubts, with others imagining that how are they able to understand anything!). Now I have come to realize that even the worst of the coaching teachers are better than my college professors and I wish that they come to teach us again (Alas! this cannot be true L). The most surprising thing is that while professor is teaching, many students sitting at the back are fearlessly using mobile, enjoying whatsapp and fb. The best scene is during a break between 2 classes, where all the students have their head down checking their notifications of fb and whatsapp.

But it’s not that all professors and classes are of the same nature. There are some really very good professors too (for eg, our maths professor is so good that students from other section attend his class!). So, we experience different types of classes and professors at IIT out of which some are totally different from our expectations.

Well, this is it for today. I hope this entry helped you to get a good overview of a typical IIT classroom.

Goodbye
