I've grew older a year at 23 hours ago. Today is my birthday, nth much special for celebration except the one I have it at last weekend which is awesome and it was so great to celebrate bday with a gang of friends. Bear likes low profile way of celebration. So we only hv our dinner at Jusco Nondo to celebrate our bday. Frankly said, I felt thare is nth special to celebrate birthday when grewing older. To me, the crucial age such as 18 refers adult & 21 years old (year to hv freedom from parents) years tht worth celebrate has been past. So nth significant to celebrate this year despite the fact tht i'm growing older.
23 years old, I'm still a final year student with narrow knowledge and debt. 23 years old of others may hv done sth which were great and mature. Today, my birthday, I found myself still living in the atmosphere of childish when R (Lecturer) has shared his 'story' with us during the tutorial session. Few years later of today, the same scene seems to display again in MMU Law sch among lecturers. Matter in concern seems to relate numbers of lecturers and students. "story' start with the 'numbers of A's students' given by R to the last batch of the graduated students. Story seems to suggest that the head of the sch department not happy with tht much of A's given and intent to subotage the current final year students by planting few coverts to spy R's conduct of teaching during the lecture session. Does the whole scenario sounds childish?
R then looks really lost his temper and start grumpying to us during 1 hour tutorial session due to such matter seems like making his mind mess that not able to conduct a proper tutorial session today.When he was trying to gain some support and sympathy from us, several questions pop up in my mind...
1. If he was dissatifying his head, why dont he inquire to head directly instead of gaining support by grumpying the head of law sch and others to us?
2. Why should we as normal students share his burden by giving him a solution to settle such so called his office politic? Dont we pay for study?and what is this politic to do with us?
3. If he was so brave as what he told us by showing his esperiance of killing culprits during his service in the police force and not fearing of anyone but God. Why dont he show his brave to have a nice talk with Ms F to settle such problem effeciently and properly after praying to his God?
4. If he is going to teach genuinely for the sake of our future as what he is usually say (helping us to pass or achieving 1st class honour), I dont think it is proper for him to stress us to take any action against his head of department? Does it sound like borrow one knife to kill others? Finaly, I will just see the one who getting benefit is him, and to be more frank is to sacrify us for his own interest.
He is prima facie to be sympatied when he was grumpying to us. However, I found tht he is actually quite extreme, selfish and immature through out his act of handling this matter. All I can say is that my first impression to him at the very first day is quite accurate. Actually, he has choosing wrong career to be a lecturer due to his self-center attitude. He may in certain extent a GOOD lecturer (likes to gv As' to students), but this method of teaching has double edge sword effect that although helping students pass or graduating with flying colour, on the other hand it may harm the students when he/she cannot cover those tough issues that relating to tht particular subject during the chambering period. His As' result may gv wrong impression to a particular firm who may later disappointed by his/her performance and indirectly downgrading MMU Law's course standard and image.
Sometimes, altough one seems to hv excellant esperience from the past, but since we able to live one day, there is thing to learn from. Whenever there is the problem occur, think about both side and dont stingy to judge upon yourself or put yourself to the opposite situation before taking any action or begin any accusation to others.
This is the first lesson I learned from R in my 23!!
Hope he can understand soon.GOD bless~
