MBA @ Distance mode

It was fun to go back to the college once again. The classes started on time sharp at 9.00 am.
We had management accounting first. It was cool she was able to speak ex-tempo about the topics. I am still trying to figure out which part of the syllabus she is trying to cover. A distance education mode class should be handled very differently from a regular class. We have students from all walks of life, so the teacher has a higher responsibility of getting everybody upto speed on the topics. Ultimately the students have to get preparred for the semester exams. Right now the way they are teaching the theory classes it would be extremely difficult to catch up with the syllabus.
The approach the faculty have to take would be to have the students go thru the topics on the CD for that week. Spend time discussing the various salient , important and super important topics with the class. There should also be time allocated to inform us of the various tips and tricks the examnier would use in setting up the various questions on the unit covered for that particular day. The class should be used as a vehicle to give ample inputs to the students to prepare for exams and for studying on their own.

The institute should also give the prescribed books, rather then trying to do a cut and paste job and perpare their own material.

The other thing I find is that we are made to write down a lot of things. this is wasting our time.
