IT Instructors: How effective are they?

Technology is fast growing nowadays. People intend to know curiously about latest gadgets released in the market or wanted to know how to make websites just like social networks or even to know how to make information systems. Also, developers and programmers are highly demanding here and abroad nowadays because of its justifiable compensation. But, how assured are the students taking IT related courses to learn from the IT instructors in a specific institution? Are they getting what they really need to have a fully baked product after attaining the course?

Teaching is a profession that advocates and facilitates students to be effective professional. "Effective teaching produces beneficial and purposeful student learning through the use of appropriate procedures" (Diamond; 1987). Information Technology (IT) related courses like Computer Science are one of the many courses that are highly chosen by students knowing not what going to happen next. Basically, it is the word "COMPUTER" they are attracted with.

To what extent do IT instructors wanted to be effective to their students? How well they extend their effort to their obligations? Just from a later experience, an instructor gave an activity(an Mars-driven activity) where we should finish it within the allocated time. But this instructor leave us behind without discussing how to or why to. Another one is that, the inconsistency of another instructor for the guidelines of enrollment. If there is no forms, no enrollment. But how come some of my classmates got into enrollment where in fact he didn't comply what the instructor said. How do instructors aware of these? As what one of my friend who is an IT student in one of the universities here. He stated that there is no competence at all in his stay in the university. He added that he is totally board with the course and he have no choice bu to finish it to comply with his scholarship. Feedbacks are everywhere when i met even graduates complaining that the teachings they encountered while they are still studying was just a very basic compared to his job right now. He said "Layo ra jud".

As Joseph Joubert said in Pensées, "To teach is to learn twice." How often should students learn? Perhaps, not twice nor once but a half when teachers do not extend their effort on their profession. To teach is to facilitate and not to irritate.
