The question is are any of these actually adding value? Giving assignment is not wrong but it must be something that students will gain some knowledge, like giving them a problem statement and ask them to write an algorithm or bring up their own solutions and stuff like that, but to do this the staffs must be proficient so as to give the problem sttatements in the first place which brings us back to square one. So its all interconnected. Like many have said, this is not something which can be mutated but should be evolved over a period of time. > > Regards, > Senthil > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > -- Regards Santhosh *github: *https://github.com/santhotech *twitter | Facebook :* @santhotech *Linkedin: *http://www.linkedin.com/pub/santhosh-kumar/27/bb/5a1 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
