Dear All,
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but I just needed
someone to talk to.
I wonder whether anyone saw University Challenge last night. I felt really
sad after the program when the students fail to answer a single question
right when they were given an equation and they had to say what shape it
was. Maybe it's because the shapes were really complicated and you would
need post-graduate qualification. But alas it was a circle, exponential
curve and (wait for it) a straight line.
I know that it was't the subject they were studying but I would have
thought anyone going to university would be able to recognise a straight
line equation, at least. It has somewhat changed my thoughts as to the kind
of people that we want to recruit.
I just hope that it doesn't reflect the state of students going into
university and indeed coming out of university.
