:) Problem is :p the entire educational system is based on rote learning here in Mauritius ... and England (where our system seems to be based from).

:) Well, legally they can do that i believe.




+1. But I was taking about something else : Parroting, without understanding. If you understand a topic, then u can explain it in your own words, in your style...




[...] the lecturer is supposed to be just a guide where if one

is stucked can just query his opinions or if is in the wrong path get

guided a lil bit by the lecturers.

[...] 




+1. BUT, how many can guide the students correctly ? Dunno about the lecturers at present, but i had a very bad experience when i was at UoM back some 15 years ago. Academically someone can be very good, but i think we need to be practical rather that learning by heart ...




Personally I believe lecturers SHOULD have at least 3-5 years experience in the field (job market ?) before giving lectures or talk about a topic.
