[work] Student Feedback

It always feels great to know what my students think about the course and teaching methodology after completing a course.
I thank all my students for this and I will try my best to correct most of the issues that they pointed out.

"Most important thing is, you was really friendly while conveying ideas & speaking with us"

"I never see such standard you follow in handling class, setting question papers. I like your style, you are my role model if I become a teacher"

"Sitting in your class was fun, interesting and enjoyable"

"A very new way of teaching the course and it was really enjoyable."

"What I really admired is your personal living style. -coming to class on time -putting a Tamil name board in front of your cabin -Teaching things very practical"

"Handsome. Good Communication Skills, Student Friendly, Social Person"

"Your way of testing a student's knowledge in just 2 or 3 words is really excellent. Your questions made us think in the exam hall"

"The only thing is the time management. Please handle the sessions in time"

"You have learnt our mentality and left us free in our own way. Your way of delivering the opinions are good. You made the class lively and gave us freedom"

"It would be great if you can follow university exam question paper pattern for our internals"

"Sir, little more audible in the class"

"The class was fast paced, short and sweet"

"We enjoyed the Top 10 Inventions of the year. Very Informative"

"Setting of the Question paper was novel, but giving too many marks for single word answers could be avoided"

"Very happy to get a staff like this. Very polite human and soft in nature. Punctual"

"Please go for something like problem solving after completion of each topic"

"<2 style="text-align: right;">"But till the last you didn't tell us the story line of ENDHIRAN"

"It was really exciting experience in your class. we liked your classes about current trends in technology"

"You never handled an hour more than 30 minutes. I hope all your classes were last hours. All the best for your future in Film Industry"

"I studied 2,3 Software Engineering papers in my B.E. I did not know anything about the subject. I read the heading and diagram and write 3-4 page story in exams. But now from your assessments I learnt a lot to think. Thank you"

"Please give notes in class. Please speak loudly"

"I think you have to prepare more for taking the class. This paper is more theory oriented"

"This is the first time we had different experience in exams"

"Your motivation is energetic for me. Your encouragement gave me somewhat interest to study. Thank you sir"

"Your presentation was good. Please try to keep the class for more than half an hour to cover the entire syllabus"

"This subject is very easy to learn. But the way of teaching was not up to the mark. I can't understand the concept what you say. Not audible. Please leave pauses between words you speak. "

"You could be little slower."

"I does not feel any pressure to get marks in your subject. In my UG course I feel software engineering is only for exam and dry theory subject. But now I can apply that"

"Your assessments were a bit tragedy"

"You allowed us to submit assignments via email. That reduced the burden of writing. It was a different experience answering your question papers"

"Asking us to write answers in less than or equal to two words is very different"

"You should spend more time in class and take the portions in more detail. Your classes are super, exam assignments are all super."

"I personally like your classes and you. Your exam pattern is really good. It tests the understanding of students and not memory. When you converse important points/words your voice becomes feeble. please try to note it seriously"

"You gave a lot of freedom with your kind nature.... the other day when you took class in the lunch hour, you said 'if some one feels hungry or tired you can leave the class'... i learnt a lot of manners from you."

"You gave a single deadline for ALL our assignments"

"Your teaching was not only centered around the book."

THANK YOU FOLKS!!!

[Work] Escape From Randomness

After my schooling, I've never really experienced this. 

Randomness and I have been like Siamese twins all these years.

Now, I wake up every morning to see my clock blink 7:10

Breakfast at 8:15. 

Nandini waving bye from our balcony at 8:25.

Driving my spark via Kottur to see the same school bus turning at the same corner at 8:30.

Sign attendance register at 8:40.

I see more positives here.

-Now I get enough rest being inside campus.

-Driving 100kms every day around Chennai's scenic roads : no more :-)

-Nandini is busy with Mellinam Education

-More time for Tamil related research.

-I get to see energetic students with smiles all around the campus.

-The feeling I get after a good lecture.

-Three large cups of green tea every after noon.

-Snacks from Krishna Sweets during every PhD viva.

-Organizing events.

That list can run even longer I guess.

I should find some time in evenings and weekends for other creative activities that I have been doing 24/7. 

I still cannot believe this has happened to me.

Quite unable to see myself as an Assistant Professor here in this University.

The place where I used to be the 'naughtiest' student ever [Thanks: Dr. Ranjani Parthasarathi].

The place where I convinced most of my lecturers to cancel classes for exams/movies.

The place where I fell madly in love with Nandini. 

I never try to predict where life is going to take me next.

Now that I have a role to play with huge responsibilities, I am going to see what's the best that i can do.

omg!.. its 3:00 now.

Green Tea Time. :-)
