Part of the last week or so has been spent at the University Of Mumbai – Kalina – correcting BMM papers. One of the good things about this years lot has been the number of students who seem to have understood the subject rather than mouthing the same set of standard notes that float around. But, as always the bizarre is always more interesting. Here are a sample of some of the statements made in the papers:
- Radio is a sensuous medium
- Print is a vertical medium
- When the satellite falls to earth, the dish catches it
- The Convergence Bill is the Prashar Bharati Act
- All channels are sent by waves on air
- in 1991, CNN won the rights to broadcast the Gulf War Live
- In the last few centuries that radio has been broadcasting news …..
- The Indian Independence Movement used radio to create a patriotic feeling
- CNN broadcast the Vietnam war leading to political instability in the USA
- News channels dump news on us and this is called dumping down of news (the question was on dumbing down)
If there were marks for the most amusing answers, then these would definitely score
