It been almost 2 months since I came here, and these days I am having my first mid exams at Bonn University. Well coming from two prestigious institutes back home, Forman Christian College and Punjab University, I think I am in right position to juxtapose the education I got in Pakistan and one I am getting here. But I am quite sad to say that the educational standards back home are quite ordinary. The only thing common between Bonn University, F.C.C and Punjab University is that they all share almost the same age of 150+ years , and this long epoch Bonn has outshine in achievements. And not to mention that whole Germany was resurrected after WW2.
But yet I will give the edge to German Universities as Germany is leading economy not in the Europe but in the world. From helping bailing out Ireland from economical crisis ,to making efforts to save Eurozone and deteriorating economy in Greece, Germany is shining these days. Germany has invested a lot in their educational system and no doubt they are providing the best education in cheapest rates.
Well going from PUCIT to Bonn, the major thing I noticed that the teacher's hierarchy is very well defined; all the teachers teaching in Masters are PhD. Back in my bachelors many teachers were plan bachelors with some market experience. Secondly in PUCIT teachers use to prepare slides from other resources like net, books etc where in Bonn mostly professors teach their own researches, for example Data Mining course which I am studying these days contains most of the examples which were conducted in house.
Moreover, the most annoying thing for me is that teachers here are always punctual, and they start lecture at exact time. And till the lecture ends there is no break, and professors blab for whole 90 minutes uninterrupted. Well I am sure Pakistani students neither have focusing ability for that long nor they are use to attend event less lectures.
But in the end some silver lining is that the tally of PhDs is increasing in PUCIT too.
