Educate & Process

Who love to get things instantly? I love to. I believe everyone does. However, there are things in life that we have to go through. This phase is called process. We cannot just hope and pray to get things instantly. Sometimes we will not realize this process word until a certain age. It might take 1 month, 1 year, or even 10 years for a person to understand process. I believe that this process will educate us in one way.

I have been teaching for many semesters. I use different method in each semester. In this semester, I am trying to help my students to pass by doing exercises. From the first day, I always encourage my students to do exercises. If they hand-in, then am going to give them additional marks for the mid-term (total additional marks about 20%). Then for the mid-term, they have to answer some questions (MCQ) that are not covered yet in the class (it's about 10% out of 100%).

Apparently, there are some students who didn't get the answer correctly complaint about this. It makes me think, is that wrong to give only 10% of the questions that are not covered? Then, if they cannot accept this thing, why I have to bother giving them additional marks?

Are today students being to0 pampered? I assume that only Medanese is being so pampered in all kind of situation. What happen if those people work in a MNC (Multi National Company). Can they handle the office politics?
