Today's shock exam

Yesterday we were told by the leader of the leaders that we have a shock exam today, yes we know when our shock exams are.

The attendance was doubled and of course those who were coming for the shock exams kept talking and disturbing us who came for science and learning, our professor is unfortunately of the kind type who just warn about and about and never punish so students kept talking, I was having a headache imagine about 250 students having side talks in a supposedly lecture when you should have total concentration to understand your professor. Many times I just put my head on the bench to relieve the stress, I and many others attend those lectures just for science, I myself don't care about if it is useful for my final exams or about the grades of shock exam or about the attendance, all I care about is learning.

So Dr. Nargis come in the middle of the lecture, finds students having their side talks, she gets angry and cancel the shock exam as well as talking away the two marks of those exam from ALL students, including us who come all the time and participate all the time in our lectures, ok, no problem as she wishes!

Then she asks us to put our numbers and names in papers to assess attendance and any name that won't be present in the hall would costs us all our attendance and that's exactly what happened, the first name she called for wasn't there, so she considered us all not attending, again, no problem, neither the grades of the shock exam nor the attendance is the reason I am coming for to those lectures.

I want to ask her some questions, is she being fair by doing this, she is totally unjust to us, what is the mistake we did, nothing except for being in the same group!

What is the reason for this shock exams, is it to assess attendance; you could have done it in the first place, is it to evaluate our level; you could have done it in the minilectures where numbers are way less, concentration is better and you have better control, but of course it has nothing to do with evaluating us, because evaluating us means that the grades must show up after the exam to know our status which never happens, all what she want to do is to brag that she has maximum attendance number so that the committee who would assess our college think that we come because we all love to learn from college, which is far from true.

I hate when heads of departments treat us like comepetitors, we are your students for God's sake, you are supposed to teach us and help us be a good seed for future doctors, not to keep punishing us for reason or no reason and when it comes to doing the right thing no rewarding at all, this is frustrating.

U can know me better from my blogs. نعم سوف يجيء يوم, نجلس فيه, لنقص و نروي, ماذا فعل كل منا في موقعه, و كيف حمل كل منا أمانته, و أدى دوره, كيف خرج الأبطال من هذا الشعب و هذه الأمه, في فترة حالكه, ساد فيها الظلام, ليحملوا مشاعل النور, و ليضيئوا الطريق, حتى تستطيع أمتهم أن تعبر الجسر, ما بين اليئس و الرجاء
