Habits never die

Our only course for this term with a class participation weightage of 25% started today - Management of Organizations.

Today's class was very interesting. We did a couple of surveys and turned in the results to the Professor. And we were told that we might be asked to some more in the classes to come.

As usual, there was extensive participation from a lot of people. One of our professors in the earlier term had pointed out that in my class there were few people who acted like politicians. In the sense that, when the professor asked a question and picked a person to answer through show of hands, the question is never answered. The person who raised his hand still goes on to say what he wanted to say, which is most often totally opposite in connection to what the professor had asked.

Bottomline: The person wants his air-time and nothing else.

Well, something like this was displayed today by a few people. And yes, they always say - Some habits never never die. What if this is the fourth term and we've seen enough courses like this before. We still want our air-time. We dont want to answer questions that will make us think on the fly. What if it doesnt get us CP points??
