Hmm... scratching my head cont. (boring)

Hmm... bored. I just came back from dinner and here I am sitting my skinny ass in front of the laptop figuring out what to do. Well, I am out of songs to listen to, out of websites to browse and got bored of watching series online. Then... a thought came to my mind. Well, it has something to do with what Dr. Kow said in the program review meeting held recently.
In the meeting, Dr. Kow noted that there were a few students who commented on how boring the lecturers are. He somehow suspected those who commented on this was those who had no interest in the lecture and at the same time, were the culprits that make noise during the lecture. Well, I presume he suspects them (if I'm wrong, then sorry la Dr. Kow). Anyway, it was clear to him that in a lecture, there lies two groups of student, one who is very interested and one who is not. He suggested or at the very least he voiced out one of the most absurd, non-sensical suggestion which I've never expected from him which is to split the class into two groups based on their interest/academic performance or any criteria deemed fit. It is important for me to make it clear here that he did mention that such a move is discriminatory.
Why do I say that the move is the most absurd, non-sensical suggestion? First of all, who is to decide which student belongs into which group. Second, based on which criteria will the student be judged on. Third, would there be any double standard considering that all students are required to pay the same amount of tuition fee. And the list goes on and on. I even heard one of my friends said that it was like a secondary school and I just had to agree with her. LOL. I can't imagine looking at the time table, seeing two classes of Malaysian Economics, "kelas" 1A and 1b. LOL.
Furthermore, what are they trying to achieve with such measure? Improve the quality of the education here? How much would the quality increase by and does it justify such a controversial move? I reckon they would be better off at increasing the quality of the education by looking for more experienced lecturers. Don't you guys agree? Hehehehe...
That's it. I missed this one out in the previous post. Hahaha... Anyway, I am facing a very big dilemma. I am going to keep it a secret for now until its confirmed. Until it is confirmed. Haiz... life... it can change so fast and the change can be so drastic but the agent that sparks that change is just a simple word and that word is 'Yes'.
