"Can't you say that in simple ENGLISH"

Many of you would be wandering what does the above heading is all about. I never thaught that I would be writing some thing about the teachers here at XIM, But they got the place not because of, they have a huge impact on me or any such attachment to there teaching's but beacuse some of them have their own unique way of teaching, Some were inductive enough to make us sleep and some make us shivering untill their lecture was over. Though we are in second semester and there are very few such unforgetable experience, let's see what more has still to come.
It was our first semester and we have just accostomed to the new ambience of MBA, Bhubneswar, sleepless nights etc....etc... . Then began our Micro Economics Classes and Mrs. Lata Ravindran as our professor, no doubt she is one of the best faculty of Eco in India, but the way she teaches has made nearly half of the student sleeping no matter where they sit, either on the first bench of the class or at the last. The monotonous way in which she taught us was making each of us more soporific, May be as she was having the first class of the day most of the time was the reason, and we used to repent the act while giving the exams, when the concept of Eco. looked like a distant dreams hard to achieve. But still she was one of the best faculty in terms of Knowledge.
Our Interaction with our first Visting faculty is also unforgetable, Mr. Tapan Panda Prof. Marketing. What amuses me was the way he used to start the lecture, you never know from the talks of his when he will enter the periphery of Marketing, One thing that was never missing from his lectures were the Special Examples he used to give in class, and offcourse for "WHY BAJAJ PULSER IS DEFINATELY MALE ?". How can be forget the special treatment he used to give to Girls of our batch. I think he has some special regards for them.
Our another visiting faculty Mr. R.K. Bal prof for Cost and Account Management. Special punchlines of him : "Silennnnnnncccceee" , "Now I will give a Question, Identify the person ",
"Our Chartered Accountant Friends will Help us", and the most important of our presentation is "DELIGHT YOUR CUSTOMER's".
Now the most talked about man on the campus, whose warning was constantly given to us by our seniors(I find them more terrified by him then our ELITE batch), Mr. Banikant Mishra Prof. for Financial Management. Sincerity is the least that is expected from us. The rules and regulation were to be followed at any cost, which typically reminds me of "Amitabh Bachan's role of an Adminstrator of a college in the movie Mohabbatein". The only reason for not being present in the class should be the death of somebody in the house or you are severely ill. He has his own way of Grading and checking of the term papers and cheating in the exam would definately would lead to a 'F' in the final grades.
Most of the answer given to him were wrong as we are unable to "COME DOWN TO THE LEVEL OF THE COMMON MAN" and the language we used was having a very degree of Complexity and he expected the opposite "CANT YOU SAY THAT IN SIMPLE ENGLISH".
I think every body used to make himself present in the class, failing of which could be treated as high degree of indicipline and Insincere act, and would cost a 0.2 deduction in the grades. The Financial classes was also an oppurtunity for most of us to learn proper english that we have missed out since ages like knowing the difference between the "STATEMENT and CONJECTURE". And sometime Most of the sentence were found to be Missing the elements like verbs and nouns.
Still this is just the trailor of an interesting story lets see what the whole movie brings out............
