Why I was fined
You might want to read my previous posts on this topic first. In December 1991 when the incident referred to in my first post happened, IJT had disappeared from campus and MSF ran the place.

Student Politics at its worst

My teaching assistantship is more demanding work during the last month of the semester as the project is assigned and then graded in multiple steps. We usually break up the project into multiple steps so… Continue reading Miscellaneous
