Comical Classes

Comprehension class is the most interesting class of the entire engineering course as we can see the lecturer(SS) sleeping like a log when v take presentations on the board..The only source of inspiration for our class ppl who sleep in class.. Perhaps we should construct a statue for this living legend or somethin.. What do u say ?.. The Q&A session was the best as she would bring some objective question book to class, ask us questions from Electronic ckts, give us 4 options, look at the back pages of the book and read out d answer (Odds are 25% of the time ur answer may be correct due to random guess-work)..

The next class would be "Robotics & Automation" by Mr.Insect Boy.. What a genius he is, he is fit to teach in IIT's or even Harvard!!.. He would come to class, copy off every single line, including diagrams and write em on d board..It does require guts to pull off somethn like this depite him knowin v have d same book and to top it all HOD appreciates him for handling the subject..TO add to our misery he uses a loudspeaker and a mic so that v can listen to his classes better (duh, I d rather read frm the book than listen to him read it to me !!).. I, including many others selected this elective to learn about the technology behind which robots work but it ended in disappointment as some lame idiot (Mr.Karimedu Karivaayan) played spoil-sport.

Another class which intrigued me was Industrial Chemical Process.. All i could remember was smriti takin the case study of Tannery Industry like 5 times and some others (including me) taking the Power plant operation a few times..Then one fine day Mr.LJ comes into class and says "Surprise, suprise !! Thus i ve completed the portion for ICP!!, All the best for your exam".. I still wonder if he took class for that unit in that semester...Neverthless, from past experience of his valualbe teaching ( from Electron Devices) all of were aware of what was coming and we cleared ICP anyway :)

The last of the top 4 comical classes is by Mr.Raj Narain - The VLSI God (Analogous to Madhan(Mokka/Matching Madhan) - The Microprocessor God)..He would come into class and write on the board pretty vigorously (he used to sweat in the process, showing how much time he took to copy it off the local author book), then turn toward and explain to himself how the stuff works (May be we should study telepathy before doing VLSI so that we can mind-read or may be purchase some hearing-aids :P)..Neverthless he was in his own world and we were in ours and used to give a satisfactory smile after every lecture ( I guess he impressed himself thoroughly..:D)

As Raghu reminded me of our course in "Industrial Automation", i would rate in top 5 comical classes and write about it...As Law of Velammal states " Thou shalt be punctual and give 100% attendance at all times even if u are sick or are in calamity, especially if u are doing IN-HOUSE projects :P", we were asked to be punctual as attendance was taken for it.. It was in the '5-Crore' library building (U cud identify wats worth in it for a 5 crore project, for one) where the systems were loaded with a FREEWARE software called Keyence ( If ur IT enuf, u cud scour up hundreds of free ladder logic proggie's on d net!! ) and taught us kids stuff like LOGIC GATES ( Helloo , we already learnt tht in skool and also in Digital Logic theory ) and 3 ppl to clear our doubts for it.. The best part came when SCADA started ..This time the software was SHAREWARE and had a 2 hour demo limit ( Which lame idiot course offers you practice and conceptual learning on a demo software..I still suspect Mr. Navin (Owner of Dubakoor Automation Pty Ltd) downloaded the demo off the internet and installed it on our college PC..This shrinks our practice time to 2 hours and the course was a mere time pass.. The irony of this is that the E&I department signed a department signed an MoU with this cheat.. I think the department staff were satisfied to get the course fee down to Rs 2500 (when initially it would have costed Rs 7500 otherwise.. U d be the biggest loser in the world had u done this shitty course for 7.5K !! X-( ) when infact the guy made us waste our time for no goddamn reason (A big applause to those who din get cheated by this !).. The topping was the DCS part in which i have no clue of what he taught us..I still remember there was one day of on-board lecture and thus it satisfied the criteria on our ceritifcate that says "DCS" !.. Anyway tht certificate is not worth a thin dime and it can be used as toilet paper alone :D!

I still think Velammal has signed and MoU with Annamalai University so that they can do "R&D" with fresh graduates from there by making them take classes for us (To find out how students can get good results without teaching the subjects- Kinda negative psychology thingi i guess)..
