Sometimes, you feel sad when after you put so much effort into teaching your students, they still show that they don’t know anything. But then they don’t seem to mind. I mean I don’t see them seeking me for help when they are obviously not following. A case of having no time? Or simply lacking interest. You really think whether or not you should mark up the standard and fail 50% of the cohort. There are also those who affirm that whatever happens, it’s not your fault. I received an email from one who is supposedly in my lecture group but did not know that I was away for the past week. Surely something must be amiss if you went to lecture and found that there is no one there. (I had cancelled the lectures.) Was there a ghost lecturing on my behalf?
