Hello,I am a teacher of Computer Science, from India.

------------------------------------ Waking up JNTU ------------------------------------ Prof. Partha believes that no good comes from accepting the saying : "Let sleeping dogs lie".. We have to wake up sleeping animals -- especially if it is capable of ruining the lives of our younger generation. Prof. Partha has once again taken up a social cause. This time, it is a crusade of waking up JNTU. There is so many deficiencies and lapses in ths education system being promoted by JNTU. Only a responsible, experienced, and competent teacher can take up the onerous task of cleaning up the system. Here are a few inititaives from Prof. Partha. Prof. Partha has noticed a whole lot of flaws in the syllabus imposed by JNTU (e.g. real time systems for B Tech 4th Year IT branch). Here is a report on this subject : http://algolog.teamfree.info/rtsjntu2.pdf The report has been sent formally to the Registrar, JNTU on 19 Sep. 2006. All those who are reading this blog, can also imitate this initiative, and warn JNTU formally. You can also leave your comments on this blog itself, so that all others can see and react. Prof. Partha is also launching a website with the anme JNTUwakeup. Details will follow soon. And to give you all a forum where you can voice your views, here is a Yahoogroup being promoted for this purpose : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jntuwakeup Let us all join hands and change this present tragedy. We owe this to our students. We owe this to our society. We owe this to ourselves. partha **********
