Recession and economic crisis are the words that we heard the most since last few years.
The Economists of the world says, that the entire world is going through a recession period and the economies of the countries have nearly collapsed..
I am facing this torture since last two years.Choosing economics as my subsidiary subject was one of the biggest blunders of my life..
Allow me to briefly describe the horrible story of 'Me and economics'.
In the first semester I had a moody teacher who used to have time for everything except for taking our class.Every other day he gave excuses that he had to go somewhere else and had some other important work..He was supposed to teach us micro-economics but honestly speaking ,at the end of semester I had no idea of what I have learned in this branch of economics.
The second semester was even more torturous and annoying when the chairman of the department of economics took the charge himself.He was and is quite famous for his non-professional activities but I don't want to go deep into that .In short the second semester was the worst of all..
In the third semester we were blessed with a female teacher.She was COMPARATIVELY more punctual but very much fond of seminars as well as of the lunch after them.Due to this habit,the poor lady had to miss some classes.She taught us macro-economics but I felt that there is much more to learn in macro-economics than what she taught us.
The fourth semester (in my opinion )is the best of all.Surprisingly we have a punctual teacher..He is teaching us pretty well about Pakistan Economics..I found this course much easy but I think the fact that Pakistan's economy has nothing much to learn about, might be the reason behind it.
The fourth semester of 'Me and economics' was going smooth and interesting when suddenly a thing called 'mid term' came in between us and destroyed everything.
We were asked several difficult (as they appeared to me) questions in the paper that required lengthy calculations in a short span of time that confused the students but the major reason behind the confusions and difficulties was the weak 'base' ,as we never had proper classes in the previous three semesters so we were completely unaware of the basics of Economics.While looking upon this issue ,the only thing that comes into my mind is:
A country with poor economic education cannot prosper economically..
