now this is outrageous! a teacher [the worst teacher, i could ever had. trust me SPM is jinxed] was teaching COCOMO today and it is a well known fact that effort is calculated in terms of man-month, and the teacher go like 'iss ko person-month kar lete hein, take kissi ko aitraz na ho' [we'll write it as person-month, so that nobody can object] and I AM THE ONLY GIRL IN THE CLASS. and i don't even make them feel it! how sick, sad, masochistic the guys are! even when i've stopped talking in the class and have stopped giving opinions because they will, simply, not be heard because they come from a girl and girls can't be good at project management or software engineering.
these guys tell me that i care for marks, well, i do care for my reputation and unfortunately in our society the reputation of the student is built or judged by their marks, on the other hand, the guys - they actually study from the point of view of the exam. 'sir aisa question aye gha?', 'sir formula yaad karein?' and what not! and they tell me that i care for marks!!!
and i despise the teacher, i don't even feel like calling him the teacher! this is not what i am paying exorbitant amount of money for! so help me God, before i explode and give everyone piece of my mind!

“Person Month” is International Standard Notation and not the “man month”. Check the following links for your clarification. None of them has ever used the word “Man Month”.
ReplyDeleteThink twice before commenting a teacher.
Also, It looks like you are habitual of commenting your own father for any thing you dislike about him.....!!!

thank you abdul qadir for clarifying my confusion. the problem here is not what the international notation is, the problem here is the attitude of the teacher. if person-month is the international notation, then my teacher is unaware of it as well! and he needs to update himself too! second thing, i am not a bad student at all and i mean no disrespect to my teacher, it is just that i resent the way he treats me! and the rigidity of his teaching style!
