Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I will, today, tell the tale of another student, not the one I usually talk about.

This student is a senior in the Computer Science program. In his second year, he got traumatized having someone as his teacher in his major subject not only because he couldn't comprehend what she was teaching, but also because she called him to his deficiencies plus, she knew his cousin from the school she taught at previously, and that cousin was really good at programming that it just begged incredulous comparison.

So what does he do? In his succeeding terms, he rearranges his schedule to avoid that teacher, who unfortunately teaches 80% of his majors courses.

It doesn't help that in one of those terms, he not only gets his first four-point-zero grade ever from a teacher who just loves being attended to outside the classroom, but also gets a grade high enough to be considered for the dean's list, if it weren't for the fact that he only took all minor subjects.

On a side note, during his practicum two terms ago, in a bank whose acceptance was arranged by his influential politician father, he is tasked to debug an existing database program. Halfway through the term, what does he do? He sends an e-mail to all the CS teachers here, attaching a copy of the one megabyte code listing he's working on, saying, “Sir, Ma'am: The program doesn't work. What could be the problem?”

In the first place, he should not have forwarded confidential bank record procedures. Second, he could have at least met them halfway saying, “I think there's something wrong with the update subroutine.”

Otherwise, it just shows that he apparently shows he learned nothing under them.

This term he's cross-enrolled in a premiere CS school (again with his father's coercion), because he realized because of flowchart rearrangement he made he would have to stay here two more years, since the classes are not all offered in the same term. In the other school, they are offered all year round, but that means he has 21 units of all majors.

Session 1451's assumed ability contradicts reality . Class dismissed.
