Seminar-cum-workshop on "Faculty development through research and publication"

Dear readers,
 i was invited by the TIARP, SEU, a wing to SEU which is devoted to work on the benefits of SEU in various matters, to a Workshop titeled above. The workshop is about three days long (10-12 april, 2010).

I am kinda irregular in updating my blog. No that i care, cause i hardly believe anybody even reads this, n even ny do, he/she dosent give a damn. lol...

Back to my blogging, they say this program will give tangible amount of benefit in our research and publication but my point of view differs so. You just dont have enough funding, Corruption is everywhere. You must be wondering from where the hell the word "Corruption" comes in here, on the pious responsibility of a faculty. Well there is, you see Publication is a very good way to get promotion in Teaching profession. They say "Publish or Perrish" in USA. So in order to flurish all you have to do is to keep an "Good Student evaluation" and  have some "Publicatoin" (so called). I am a graduate and Masters from Clinical pharmacy and pharmacology department from D.U. I have done some research, well that i could do in terms of our countries context. I am proud that i have done 1 experiment that i instigated here. I have never seen ny other from my department to do that. Well..i hope this workshop helps me to publish my papers.
 To my point of view. What SEU is saying is contradictory. They are giving a heavy course load (15 credit) per month. So as a faculty you have to take like 15+ classes (my god ..these are not lectures of class 9 or 10) per month. So in an average you have to spend like 40+ hours just to prepare lectures and practice them before giving lectures. Then there is thing called "Student's evaluation"....well i am really unhappy that how those authorities think about that ...they take those evaluation to seriously.

I say if you really want us to develop. give me time for research. Research is not like playing football for gods sake.  YOu can't run in and kick some theories out of a topic. Reaseach on my point of view takes a lot of time for thinking and planning. Again, it envolves a lot of man power too. THere is always "Cost". So in order to expect a good quality research you have to give us quality time and support. We will make this university grow, We promise, i promise.

Don't treat this University as the "Golden duck" , think of it as a "Thinking Hat".
