The words
dreaded the most by the students of Masters
in Public Relations (MAPR). Assignments play an important role in the whole
education process. It’s through assignments only which helps a professor to
judge how well the student can apply the theoretical knowledge he/she has
gained in the lectures. Well, the assignments aren’t just something professors
dole out because they want to but even the University of Mumbai officially
uses internal/assignments as a yardstick to measure a student’s performance.
There’s
a general perception amongst everyone be it the professors or the parents that
students hate assignments. Well, being a student of Masters in Public Relations (MAPR)
myself, I would say that the students of MAPR break that perception. We, here
at the Kalina campus of University of
Mumbai like doing these assignments because they aren’t in the mould of
those boring homework activities we used to get when we were in school and
junior college. The assignments here are fun to do and they push us to the
limit to give our best. It’s not just that I’ve good things to say about the
concept of assignments or the assignments that we get but it’s just out of
habit that I like to talk about the positives. Assignments obviously come with
deadlines and that means it’s a race with time.
Trust
me when I say this, the professors conducting the Masters in Public Relations (MAPR)
course in the Kalina campus of University
of Mumbai take assignments and the deadlines seriously more than anything
in the world. So, it’s but obvious that we students get anxious when the
deadline nears. The anxiety is not just because we haven’t been able to finish
off the assignment when there’s only like two hours left for the deadline, well,
the anxiety levels are high because we need that stamp of approval from the
professor. We need to know whether our hard work has paid off. It’s not just
about the marks or score we get on a particular assignment but it’s about how
well we’ve done it, how much we’ve improved from the last time and how much
room we’ve for bettering ourselves.
To
conclude I would just tweak a tagline of a washing powder
“Assignments
acche hai”
