Half term

The subject heading pretty much says it. The half term is almost over.

Each term is handled by two professors for most subjects. After half term the second professor continues from where the first professor ended. Economics and Statistics half term classes got over today. Marketing and accounting half terms end tomorrow. Suddenly after 4 classes you realize that the 5th class is the last one by that professor. The tradition is to have a ceremony after the last class. Our section gifted a T-shirt to the Professors with our signatures on it. This is a depart from the cake-cutting tradition.

One thing I notice is inaddition to good lectures, all professors have a good sense of humour. Even if a student does not fully comprehend the subject matter, a joke or two peps things up. Particularly, Prof.Bob Stine has an excellent knack to keep students engaged by combining humour with his lectures. He was the one to wear the presented T-shirt during the class session break inspite of the smelling ink. Prof Jagmohan Raju will be coming here for the second term in marketing. I hear he cold calls students using their photographs and utterance of his name evokes a sense of respect among students. Thats 3 days later.

Does this mean that the constant in the learning process which is subjected to change is the self. Yes this is always true.
