Biography 194: Masters of Science


 We were the last batch of our department who had completed their bachelor's degree with honours in 3 years. From the next batch, they had 4 years of bachelor's degrees. To make the education system similar to that of the Western world.

Then, I did 1-year postgraduate (MSc). According to our marks, we were divided into two groups in Masters. Thysis group and non-thysis group. I was in the Non-Thysis group. Then, we have the option to study urban planning or rural planning. I have taken Urban Planning. Our professor was Nazrul Islam. We were lucky to have such a professor. The University of Dhaka should be proud of him because of his knowledge, research and good teaching style.

Though there are some things that I don't like about him. During our class, he told us he had given very lovely lectures last year, but he found students had written from somewhere else in the exam. Their note should have included his opinions.

So, we all make notes in his class based on his lectures. Next year, we heard him tell the junior class that this class didn't write anything new; we made him read his own words only in the exam paper.

I was angry for some other reason. He gave marks on viva at the end of all exams. I got only one mark less to achieve first class.

It hurts.
