We the Students

This blog shall be the voice of final year CSE-A students of 2006-10 batch. The voice shall grow louder if and when more people wish to join us. The address of the blog pretty much sums up the reason for this blog itself. Despite repeated attempts to strike the right chord with the staff in the department and the supposed "rules" of the department, we have not received a response at all, let alone a proper one. So, we shall write till our queries are taken note of.

We do not wish to go against the department. We merely wish to understand the need for certain rules and also the reason for the lack of fairness in the treatment of students in the department. We shall, of course, write out our queries and problems and also, with the freedom of expression that we possess, make accusations and appreciations of the staff in the department. It is only fair to accept that we have the right and the reason to do the same.

The blog mainly is inspired by a classroom discussion we had today with the class-in-charge about the fact that we had talked to the staff in a way that they found rude. The staff, being as knowledgeable as they claim to be, should probably try and analyze the reason for the students' rudeness, if they were rude in the first place. We, the students of CSE-A do not wish to offend the rules of the department or its staff and we do expect the same from them. Let us just say we do not like the way we are being treated these days.

The one glaring flaw, we find is that there is minimum coordination with the way the college claims to work and the way the department is run. The class committe meeting flatters only to deceive and any suggestion made by class representatives, besides going unnoticed, is made fun of. Our problems are very rarely attended to and hardly listened to.

Another problem is the lack of co-ordination amongst the staff in the department itself. While some are exceptionally helpful, the others tend to see a lotta students as enemies. We students have no choice but to take whatever is told to us because we are a bit afraid of losing our internal marks and very uncertain as to how it will affect our final year projects. It is something like covering up the tarnish in our dignity with our ambitions for a secure future. We would hope the staff understand that.

This is the end of only the beginning of an interesting quest. As students with common sense, we shall continue to voice our views- not forcing people to listen or react but only hoping that one day we will enjoy classes and our relationship with the staff in the department.

For Respect!
