Motivated by the deterioration of a chronic situation the Association of Students
takes the initiative to touch upon the subject of quality of teaching of courses
"Antennas 1" and "Antennas 2".
Supervising these courses, Mr. Zimourtopoulos, spends a big part of his instructive
hours for matters that have absolutely nothing to do with "Antennas" and he uses
a lot of unseemly expressions at the hour of teaching, something that hinders the
attendance to the lesson but also its comprehension.
To all of this comes to be added the stylistic book of courses, which does not help
in the comprehension of "Antennas" (a book with a symbolism that does not keep
pace with the symbolism of the books of trade) with result, on the one side, the
comprehension of "Antennas" becomes impossible, without the attendance to the
course, and, on the other side, the tutorials become insipid (by someone which is spent in
issues beyond the frame of the course).
This situation had as a result that, this year, no student (regardless of the fact
that he attended, or not, to the course) takes a pass degree in no one from the two
courses ("Antennas 1", "Antennas 2"), a sample of lack in knowledge
transfer by Mr. Zimourtopoulos.
We would request from the sector of telecommunications, taking into account that the
continuous reduction of students of telecommunications sector is owed in such phenomena
also, to try to give a solution.
The Association of Students proposes the co-teaching of the courses "Antennas
1" and "Antennas 2" by a second teacher or to charge the courses to some
other teacher.
Moreover we ask for the re-grading of the written examinations.
P.S.
We request for an emergency session of the sector for the direct confrontation of
the problem already from this semester.
