RE: Steemit Crypto Academy - Summary and Feedback by @majerius
Hello, @majerius. I've been reading through feedbacks here and I'd help with something in your article.
I'll take an example of prof @imagen's posts, when he posts, though it is well explained, we find out that the translation of the #imagen turns to #image and it can lead to misallocations.
When I was a student in the academy, knowing that Imagen's tag is prone to change by the translator, what I do is include both the real tag and the English version. For example, #imagen-s5week7 and #image-s5week7, no matter what the translator does, one of my tag fall back to the one the professor would be checking. I think you can adopt this method to put such occurrences under control. Thank you.
Thank you so much Professor. Will be doing just that. I'm grateful for your response😊 this is what I love in this community.
You are welcome.
Dear @fredquantum, I believe that in most cases we need to have an honest judgement in matters. In a system where one is expected to adhere strictly to rules and regulations, what do you expect?
I believe that the right questions should be:
Do @imagen realize that he uses translator?
Do he not recognize that there are possibility of wrong translation? What did he do to save the situation? How many students may know that the tag was translation fault?
Again, he must have been tagged in the post. Did he try to correct his students over the possible error?
The aim of a teacher is to help the student grow and not to pull them down. This is the benefit and intent of the academy. When a student follow a wrong instruction which is not his making, how should a teacher respond ? Abandon him to his doom? Please let's be honest here.
How will you possibly feel dear @Fredquantum? In this modern time when time is sacrosanct and a task which is equally strenuous and some of the task involves one spending his money, then after everything, it is thrown to the thrash bin?
Whenever we find ourselves in a place of authority, we need to judge rightly and condemned a wrong act. Place yourself in the shoe of the students and understand their pain. Thank God you mentioned that you were once a student. Let us not kill the academy with unnecessary strictness.
I personally had an issue on two occasions where my job was abandoned by @imagen. The task took me three days each to complete and at the end it was abandoned. I wrote and complained but no response from anyone. Even when I corrected the tag, he still refused to attend to the task. That is bad my friend and should not be overlooked. @imagen is a good professor, but in his attitude he suddenly forgot that the students are here for the same reason he was appointed a professor.
Hello, @mobibliss. In my response to @majerius, I have not sided anyone rather I look for a way the students can be saved in such a situation. Initially, it's not my call to even respond to the post, I don't just like to see things slide without getting a bit of solution from my end.
I stated it clearly above, help, I am only trying to offer what I can do to help in a case where tag issues arise.
Kindly do not make it sound like I sided a person, I only offer a solution for the students and nothing attached. The solution I gave above isn't the final and I do not say it's expected of everyone to follow, the team can handle the situation better. You can write that in the feedback and the team would look for a way to address the issue. Thanks.
@fedquantum, I understand bro. However, I saw this as an avenue for everyone to bring to the fore any issue of concern. I am sorry If you felt bad but your tone was sounding to me defensive and I felt uncomfortable with it.
Thank you for putting things straight.
Hello dear @mobibliss, I'm afraid you might have misunderstood @fredquantum. All he did was propose a solution which he thought could help me or any other person in the community regardless of the final decision of the whole community.
It's just normal that if a solution worked for him, he should share it to others who have the same issue. You'll bear with me that if you had this solution before the time you had the problem with your post, your post would've been graded. But since you didn't know of it, it wasn't graded. So please let's not lay blames on anyone here. It's a helping hand and not a final solution. Thank you🙏🏾
I understand bro, and I wasn't laying blames, I put the facts as they are and I don't save face. @fredquantum will understand that I have never made a comment against his post. I am not equally against @imagen, but how will he understand the situation if it was not made known to him? This is a matter affecting people and should not be overlooked. I believe that people should speak up when the need arises so that the matter could be solved once for all time.
I was affected, yes and so was others. I will rather call a spade a spade than to paint words. @imagen's pattern of solving a problem which was no students fault is bad, period!
He is a great teacher, I have learnt a lot from his class, in fact he is among the few teachers I first do the homework task.
But in this issue, he did not get it right.
I equally commend @fredquantum for trying to proffer a solution. However to solve a problem, it is best discussed. I just pointed out my reservations, I hope nobody is offended by it.
Thank you.
