yet anodr hell of a day

This one is not about any of my horrible trysts with life. But it is about the way today went for me at college.
As decide by the college ,we had our MCS classe early at 8.30 a.m and to top it we had dal puri as breakfast which was not totally edible. So, a horrible start for the day. We had god's grace on us when we had a new faculty to teach us the ever boring MCS subject. We had a man of erudite and great experience to teach us and really he did a wonderful job taking the class along with him.
You would be thinking wat went wrong. We were then forced to sit through the CAPSTONE presentations of our esteemed seniors. We had to oblige. Wat went on next was 4-5long hours of presentations of seniors on their assigned topics.Wat we could make out was that instead of taking up the Cap stone project as an important stepping stone, many of our seniors had taken it up as yet another assignment to be completed in a given dead line. Many had just played around with their data and given some recommendations which were not practical or were already known.
The faculty guides in our room really took some of the seniors to task for not doing any value addition to the given subjects. Some presentations were not even accepted. But think who were thw most suffering lot.............................................................................................
yes u guessed it correct. out of the 15 people in our room, only 10 were present in fear of the dreaded DRCC attendance and the rest fled. the same was the situtaion in other rooms also. Also those seniors who finished left in haste widout waiting for their friends to present.
My point is, wat the hell was the purpose behind binding us for a whole day to listen to some people who did not make any genuine attempt to conduct their research................or perhaps were not motivated to do so because of the grim placement scenario. wat i could make out was that,the college was trying to give us an inhand experience about how to go about the CAPSTONE.To my utter dismay none of the seniors did inform us about the research methodology they had adopted during their project, which was very mporatnt given the fact that we juniors are soon going for our summers and need to know the practical uses of Research methodology. The faculty guides did not also ask them to clarify on their research part .
And so i ,and am sure my class mates would agree to me on this point that we had a hell of a day and wasted our precious time(oooopssss) for other purposes like we all know bettr.

signing out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,stay tuned for my next post

  1. Really bad day for all of us. But the thing is that, none of your seniors has made the capstone project as it has to be made. What I thing is that the capstone is a bit of research work, but mostly are theory based and our teachers also give them marks bcoz they dont want to take the headache of doing it again..
