some more questions again.
Sorry for troubling you much.
1. How many of the staff of colleges know the following things?
0
I dont know why my son and his friends are laughing after
seeing the syllabus.
I might know why :)
2. Do NRCFOSS staff goto each college and setup FOSS LAB Server?
? ?or guide them remotely?
3. How the colleges are going to get support for setting up the LAB?
4. It may take some time for NRCFOSS to prepare and study materials.
? ?Eventhough college staff get some PDF files,
? ?is it possible for them to teach those things to students practically?
This is seventh semester for 2008 regulation students - who are now
entering 5th semester. So NRCFOSS has a full year - should hopefully
be good enough.
5. Is there any FDP programme arranged for the Teaching staff in all colleges?
6. Is there any progress to make FOSS as essential theory paper?
I'd like to see that happen too :)
7. Why they removed it from elective?
I have a feeling that was because not many people were taking it up.
Or being encouraged to take it up. Or even being allowed to take it
up.
For example, even from the pdf - I'd say most people will pick "Visual
Programming" as Elective I & "Numerical Methods" as Elective II -
partly because "it is easy to pass macha", "sappa paper da!" and
partly because staff have been doing that for ages. Atleast from my
experience.
Electives aren't 'truly' elected by the student's interest. I want to
pick "Parallel Programming" and "UNIX Internals" - and I'll keep you
posted on how hard it happens to be.
8. Why the syllabus has so many commercial products to learn?
Because you obviously cannot do any GUI programming in C :)
if the college asks him to use only commercial software.
I dont want to loss our house just to buy software.
We all know that you don't have to :D
