Today , at least someone broke the silence. No matter in his last class.
It was UST sir. It seemed it was coming out of a professor who has been confined in the education system that is ubiquitous in India.
He spoke like the professors that we see in the OCW lectures. The same content. Just with an 'I wish' preluding each phrase.
"I wish classes were of 90 minutes.
I wish we had the system of declaring the syllabus to be covered every week before hand.
I wish we had PPTs given out in advance of the lecture.
I wish we had you people asking questions, having a discussion in class, lively ; not like a Bhagwat Gita sermon going on where some doze off to sleep.
I wish we had tutorials , and handouts.
I wish."
And then , and which made me contrite about all the classes I had attended of the man that stood before me , 'the trademark smile'.
