Students were once asked what their biggest reasons were for joining the University. They didn’t say “scaling the medical industry”, “Becoming good enough to be hired in an IT company” or “integrating their dreams with their parents’ desires”. They anonymously said they were in the University to gain knowledge. Their submission was that the University had a culture of helping students develop and apply knowledge to benefit others or serve the public good. While it’s true that the University Culture is built on a knowledge-based approach, students must be aware that it is in taking responsibility and actively participating in the teaching process that will help them produce not only quality works sufficient to earn an ‘A, B or C, but that will set a place for them in the workplace.
