Theory exams are boring Practicals needed......do you agree?

I beg to disagree with you, not because I did not take up an engineering course, but because basically, subjects are taught through theory. I couldn't imagine people teaching without using theoretical approach. Teachers or instructors just can't teach practically. You can't possibly give your mind out at all times. One thing more... what will happen to books if theory would be regarded with less importance? Practicality lies in one's IQ, and not all of us are gifted to have an above average one. If this will be the only basis in giving a license to an engineer... i think this will not give credence to one's competency. For a professional needs both: theoretical knowledge so as to enable him to impart his wisdom to his subordinates comes the time that he needs to lead a group, and creativity-- which is where practicality --- or commen sense--- comes in. Where most, including me, see common sense as never common at all. While it is true that we can do a job practically, sometimes, we need to give or follw sets of instructions, which in fact is theory in itself.

I too feel so .I have graduated in architecture five years back. iN our curriculam about 90% was practical work and the theory was also related to practical and i feel if one has more and more practical knowlege of things its not so hard to pass theory exams. same was the case of our during college days our theory exams were justa mater of one overnight study before the exam. I am in favour of more practicals specially in technical fields. I still remember few of our friends were doing BDs and B.pharm. I never fell them irretated about they need to study a lot of theory but infact most of the time i feel frustated and thanks god that i haven;t taken addmission in any such proggrame as it might have become hard for me even to score pass marks.

Nah... I think both are equally important. Theories are... theories. Without the practical aspects, they will not be as useful.

personally I don't think major is a big problem,if I don't lke my major,I'll do sth I like in other fields,but u know what?after years of edification ,I began to love my major~~ it is a good thing to make us versatile~,right?

your opinion is so good that I insist on you very much~~

Same here buddy. The present pattern of the examination must be changed. I usually find students who are really intelligent scoring less marks in the exams whereas those who have a pretty good memory scoring high percentage.These students just mug up everything and reproduce it in the exams and dont absorb even an ounce of knowledge which can be applied into the practical life. The really intelligent students are usually criticized for their low score in the exams, coz they do not bother to mug up the whole thing as they know the zist of the topic and can very efficiently apply it practically.
