The WACky Time

Well... comin back after a long hibernation....
my first since i joined MBA....

will post my experience of "MBA" sometime later
whn i find some spare time

WAC as for the non MBA junta is Written Analysis and Communication
wht crap each one of us written somethin or the other in our lifetime
and done lots of analysis b4 we got here...
people with workex would hav created lots of reports
so y spend time on something which doesn;t add any value to u...

well my friend, the simplicity ends here
WAC is one thing where even the native english people might falter ...
the subject curbs the natural talent and the free flow of thought
and claims to provide a structure and logical flow to the thought process

believe me thts the last thing u get out of here
if u haven't got out of the insti yet... (only for the ppl who understand wimwi ways)
atleast as far as WAC 1 in term 1 is considered

u do some shitty analysis, spend ur weekend pouring thru hazaar internet sites
churned out by google... discuss with ur friends..
and come up with out of the box alternatives.. creative thinkin will be awarded
thts wht they say...

u see to it tht ur thoughts, ideas, analysis everything combined do not exceed 1000 words...
well it boils down to sort of precis writin for few and OMG ttthhhhooooouuuuussssssaaaannnnnddddd words for the rest...

the deadline is fast approaching...
clock strikes 3:45 .. the submission window opens...
then comes the gruntin sound of the printer...
whn it starts churnin out papers and more papers..
a small group assembles around the printer...
whr they "thank" the profs and the TA for the assignment

how can people realise technology if it doesn't fail...
the printer says Jam in tray 2....
intellectuals as we are... we don;t knw how to rectify it...
u need the printer mgr and set it right...
the worse part ppl don;t learn anything they want the printer mgr to come for the same error umpteen no. of times..

with the report all done and one glance @ clock which reads 4:25 pm...
shit... the submission ends @ 4:30... thn comes all popular WAC run...
whr u run to ur classroom to submit before time... which most of us manage to do so..
thn comes the time of relief... whr one forgets to submit the soft copy

we need to submit the softcopy of the assignment at two places..
ya.. u read rite... soft copy to be copied to two places..
well one is impressed with the intellectual level of the system..u see..

u hav ample amt of time for submission... well by 11:59:59 !!!!...
evn then manage to forget and lose a subgrade...

and now regardin the grades...
the guy who gets a C and a B ... doesn't hav a clue of
how he/she got wht he/she got...
its a random grade generating algorithm these ppl follow...
whtever is the reason they will force u to get convinced tht
the gradin is right for ur report...

this is WAC for u...
