Got to grade the exam that I administered last week to freshmen…It is already 3AM..have been postponing the activity since 2 weeks….conducting an exam is easy, the grading is the boring part !!.. I always find something that takes priority over grading..and here I am now facing the deadline after all..I have to grade it by today
and
I have absolutely no energy to do it..Partly because, the activity itself is meaningless..How does it matter if a student is able to calculate difference quotient or not ? Limits, Continuity, Reimann Calculus is good and good for classroom..Once one steps in to the real world, the world is characterized by nonlinearity, stochastics , random jumps etc…One thing that this teaching experience has done to me…It has been made me far more patient than I really think I am !! I wish I could take some time out and give the real importance of reimann calculus to all the students,which is - TO IGNORE IT !!! and persuade them to explore randomness !
