a presentation on why students love to bunk classes made by deepakshi jain, aditi mathur and dharika kapil of banasthali university.

1. PARETO DIAGRAM
A Pareto chart, named after Vilfredo Pareto, is a
type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph,
where individual values are represented in descending
order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by
the line.
The left vertical axis is the frequency of occurrence, but
it can alternatively represent cost or another important
unit of measure. The right vertical axis is the cumulative
percentage of the total number of occurrences, total cost,
or total of the particular unit of measure.

3. Because the reasons are in decreasing order, the
cumulative function is a concave function.
The purpose of the Pareto chart is to highlight the
most important among a (typically large) set of
factors. In quality control, it often represents the
most common sources of defects, the highest
occurring type of defect, or the most frequent
reasons for customer complaints, and so on.

4. Wilkinson (2006) devised an algorithm for producing
statistically based acceptance limits (similar to
confidence intervals) for each bar in the Pareto chart.
These charts can be generated by simple spreadsheet
programs, such as OpenOffice.org Calc and Microsoft
Excel and specialized statistical software tools as well as
online quality charts generators.
The Pareto chart is one of the seven basic tools of
quality control.

5. These kinds of words from such a renowned
personality prove to be really motivating for
students .

7. COLLEGE VS CLASSES
College was once a coveted place for students, an intellectual
arena to contest and debate and grow. This point of view is
tangent to the thinking of today’s college-goers. The scenery of
the college has shifted from purely intellectual based crowd with
the commanding teachers to free spirit chilled out kids with care
a damn professors. The qualities of punctuality, discipline the
sincerity is replaced by playfulness, demanding-nature and
slickness. The revolution in the education today is reflected in
the attitude towards attending classes. Note, the point is
attending classes not college. Students love college but
attending classes is a different matter.

8. REASONS WHY STUDENTS
LOVE TO BUNK

9. 1. FRIENDSHIP
If being with friends is on the agenda then class doesn’t make it
to the list of options. The sport centers, the basketball
badminton courts, the bike rides or the coffee shops. These
Places and memories are what we remember in later phases of
life. The bond that is forged outside is one of the finest reasons
to dodge college for the input inside is zilch but outside you
have your gang. So go out relax for you do need some stories
to tell in future. We all have the feeling to run away with friends
for couple of hours. When we adhere to this dream the fuzzy
feeling is left behind. Life is easier with this feeling than with
full attendance and being studious all time. So friendship tops
among the reasons for bunk.

11. These kind of students are
always the one who are
irregular to the class,
backbenchers, and think to
make the fools of the
teachers.

12. 2. LOVE
The song goes Love is in the air right! So what is the point of
staying inside classrooms? The youth is the age of new love,
first love. This experience cannot be traded for anything let
alone the snooze feast of a lecture. The second most popular
reason to bunk is to go meet your love. Coffee in winter,
walks in rain and ice-creams in summer is just not possible
from inside the class. Many a times the dodge game is played
for the one, finding the one, staring at the one or waiting for
one. College is the hot spot for theses activities and all of us
at some point or other end up prioritizing this over classes.

14. 3. COACHING CLASSES
The assumption is that college is for the annual exams and
coaching is for competitive exams. When the further
admission is based on competitive exams students attend
classes seriously. With the 4-5 hours classes the students just
can’t sit in college for 6-7 hours. The education system
today is confusing in the logical sense. Hence we take the
option to pay in college for degree and classes for entrances
to the next step of life. So we dodge the college and chill as
the coaching is sufficient.

15. After college and coaching classes, a student cant be
able to concentrate on self study so he/she has to
choose between college class and coaching class.

16. 4. CURRICULUM
The constant revision in syllabus with the irrelevance to
present technologies makes it stifling for students to attend the
lectures. The college is a place to step up the intellect but few
have the opportunity to realize this. Certain section of
students finds the syllabus to be a drag and hence avoid
classes. The forcefully fed spoonful doesn’t have to be
swallowed, you can walk away. The present technologies are
not taught anywhere and the Stone Age technologies are
studied in details. At some point students loose interest and
buzz off to a life of their own.

17. CURRICULUM IS LIKE…..

18. 5. CLASSMATES
The majority of college fun is in the classroom and the
classmates matter. When you have different mindset about
everything then gelling up with class is next to impossible.
The fun is squeezed out of college and this is another reason
why students avoid college. The peer pressure becomes too
much to handle and this can have a very lasting impact on
psyche. Parents hence prefer to keep students away from this
unhealthy and troubling atmosphere. Students don’t like to
separate from their old friends and if the friends end up in
different depts. Or different colleges the class doesn’t have
what it takes to keep students around.

20. That annoying moment when mass bunk is being
cancelled by the studious students of the class,
rest everyone feels like hell :p

21. 6. PROFESSORS
The course maybe interesting, you look forward to learning
the subject, you would really enjoy the peeling of the layers to
get to the depth of subject. This feeling is faced by majority of
people at some point in their student life. At that point we see
the professor cutting to the chase. The favorite topics are
avoided and the time is wasted on mundane talks. The
knowledge base is not extensive. The scene from 3 idiots
where we have definition of machines followed by throwing
out ceremony for rancho? That is the point. We want to learn,
if only we were taught and not lectured! This leads to a
crossroad and many students opt out of classes to keep their
interest alive.

23. 7. TEACHING METHODS
The professors end up reading out the notes or slides or the
power point presentation. This makes no sense as we
ourselves could do that and coming all the way to college
and class for the reading sessions makes next to no sense.
When finally we end up studying from notes why should we
attend the read-out-loud sessions? The notes and Xeroxes are
kept up for studying so the pen down method sounds absurd
here. This question of students goes UN answered by
parents, teachers, friends and hence the reason won in
argument becomes go-to excuse for everyone.

25. Why students don’t like to
attend lectures ?

26. 8. HOBBIES
With the different classes available like football, tennis,
dance, drama, karate, guitar etc. the value addition is felt
better outside than back in classrooms. The students are
more easy and comfortable in pursuing their own field of
interests and hence the better things usually wins in a college
where dodging is possible. The lecture hour is wasted
without the share of knowledge and hence doing something
productive is more interesting, anytime. The hobbies are
given priority and hence the classes are neglected. This is
one of the common answers to the question why do you
bunk college. There is always a better option.

28. 9. LIFE SKILLS
What is the point of mugging up when you will never
implement it? Students want to have practical knowledge in
their field and as the college doesn’t provide this students go
out in their own pursuit. The practicality of the subjects is
what allures them in the learning process and when that is left
out of the syllabus students step out to fill their dreams. The
industry experience and struggling for the passion is what
drives students away from college. The contests and fests and
tech-fests are something that holds gravity for students,
participating in different events at different campuses gives
strong exposure to students. This is usually preferred over
college time.

31. 10. SELF- HELP
With the multi-faceted tests and exams and career strategy, the
students believe in self-study. The professors are bound by syllabus
and sessions plans and deadlines but the goals of students are
different. The in depth study of some topics are important and the
skim by method is enough for few. The career is finally made by
the grades, rapport with the teachers and most importantly the
knowledge base. This knowledge base is given due priority and
hence students avoid college to pursue their dreams with the
college and outside college as well. The college is no longer the
temple of learning with the freedom to pursue intellectual wins; it
is a corporate world today. Everyone uses it to the best of their
advantage. When the student sees the advantage in being out of
college they take it, period.

35. Problems raised by the above
reasons for bunking
A teacher not always teaches what the syllabus
demands but he/she also wants to develop the
moral values of the student that most of the
students miss only because of truancy.
Short attendance of students which restrict them
from sitting in the examinations.
The topic which they missed out might not be
properly taught by their friends in the same way as
teachers do in the class.
There is lack of sincerity, punctuality and
seriousness in the students who have a habit og
regular bunking.

36. LESSONS LEARNED BY
US
This is an interesting topic as we too are
students and like to bunk and have fun or
sleep at our hostels. But we also came
across the other aspect which we have not
thought about earlier.
That aspect is while bunking, the one who
is actually losing something is only the
student. And he/ she is also cheating to
her/himself and to parents.

37. Teachers should be frank or open to the
students so that if they are not
understanding the way of teaching, they
can directly approach and ask the teacher
instead of start bunking.
We are neither in the favour of stopping
the bunks nor to have bunks but
“everything looks good if it is in limit” , this
is our point.
