    Post by Big Man Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:19 pm

    It was Thursday, the 8th of October 2009. The weather was cloudy. A big (230 Pounds) man( me) entered Abasyn University to get admission in Public Health Master degree discipline.
    He stepped up the stairs and went into reception office. In reception office, the receptionist glared with wonders as he sees eighth wonder of the world. The receptionist was totally confused when he was discussing the admission procedures with that big man.The big man filled admission forms and returned to receptionist.
    Receptionist with very low and worried manner excused the big man for there will not be any chair available for his size, so the big man hast to provide one for himself. This was the first mishap with the big man as he had to pay 5000 more to get special WWF sized chair.

    The big man thought, it is a private university and he can get degree very easily, though he was shocked when he faced the first music on the same day, by a strict, well dressed and intelligent Master ( Sir Nayyer sb). His dream resulted opposite.

    The big man rushed to account office to get his money back, as it was not in his capacity to study two years with Rock music ( the dose given by Sir Nayyer when someone not replying properly) and mind shocking exams and unbelievable results. In account office, the accountants argued and presented the policy, where the student will not get anything back, but instead should give 10% extra charges as a fine. The big man was shocked for the second time as he observed the behavior of account section.

    At last the big man decided to cordially study public health and abide by the rules and regulations of Abasyn University and made comitment with himself that, he will be a true public health follower.

    Today was the last day for big man in Abasyn University as a student.
    The big man has some good and bad experiences about Abasyn University and want to share them, though these are his personal feelings and he might be either wrong or right?

    1.Academic facts
    a. Public health course coordinator was at home in all the subject which he taught.
    b.Course coordinator always mobilized all the students to get better and output based results.
    c.Course coordinator tried his level best to teach with different methods for getting the students understand the topic
    d.Sir Jamil methodology was impressive.
    e.Sir Nazim was intelligent and motivational
    f.Sir Azmat was talented

    With all above facts, there were some negative points on behalf of students
    a.As the field was related to medical and those who did not know anything about Medicine, were there as well to get public health degree, which made the environment tough.
    b. English as a teaching medium was another headache for students, as exams and lectures are delivered in English
    c.Some students appeared to exam even they did not know their subject
    d.There was no student counselling system which needs to be initiated

    2.Administrative facts
    a.Every one was eligible to get admission in Public health principle----------there was no inclusion or exclusion criteria
    b.You can get admission even on the day of exam, which made it much more difficult for course coordinator to handle the students.
    c.Class location and timing was not clear. The big man had to knock every close door to find the his class.
    d.The people in the receptions did not know how to deal the students and every time were telling lies and giving fake information
    e.Fees were not uniform , it was like a business, like a bargaining.
    f. In case of electricity failure, a small generator was used which was insufficient to give electricity to whole university
    g.No safe drinking water was available
    h.No entry exam was compulsory, the admission criteria was your pocket of fill of money

    3. On parts of class fellows
    During his stay the big man found all his class fellows cooperative , respected, and good friends

    Just to summarize the big man stay in Abasyn university, he finally says:
    "For Academic purpose Abasyn University is the best University as having the competent and Intelligent Academicians"

    "For administrative purpose the university has to improve in all sections of the university mentioned above or left untouched"


    Cordially thanks to all, Specially to sir Nayyer for guidance , Motivations and standard teaching!

    Well done Big man.

    I think you are the first student of Abasyn university (MMPSH), who share their views and experiences.

    I am agree with you that their is
    No criteria of admission
    No Clear time of the class.
    as i experince with this problem of timing of the class, when i travel from Swabi, and their is no class .

    But at the same time, I can learn lot of things from My Respectable Sir Nayyer. I really appreciate his way of teaching, although their are so many HYPOTHERIDES in the class.

    So big man

    Best of Luck

    Dear Dr Farooq and those contemporaries
    who have recently completed their Master Course!


    Assalam U Alaikum


    This is a great happiness for me to
    see you people qualified doctors and MPH professionals in BOTH Bother, Neighbor
    and MUSLIM nations (Afghanistan and Pakistan).


    Since long time the quality of health
    care services of our countries especially in rural and far flange areas are
    weak because it cause burden of health care problems such us increase morbidity
    and mortality from those illnesses which are easily preventable and our health
    system is not so strengthened to provide quality health care services for all
    the population who are really in need of this, so the qualified, professional
    and skilled HR can overcome and filled in the gape.


    I know we have talent and aptitude and
    professional persons such as Sir Nayyar who in-reality want and tried his best to work
    with his students and in hospital with health workers, colleagues and on the
    same society people. All of health related will work hard to become qualified
    so Sir Mayer’s endeavor will be achieved.


    However I am so happy for our brothers
    who became qualified and it is the time for them to hardly work and serve the
    needy people.


    As most of the students are afghan on
    behalf of Afghan Students I am thanking and appreciating Sir Nayyar for his heartfelt
    struggle and motivations during day and night that most of the time we see him
    on forum up to late night he is working for our prospect, this is proof and ascertainment
    of my mentioning senses above, to qualified us because we are in more need of
    professionalism, Quality and saving of people life in our war destroyed country
    (AFGHANISTAN).


    Afghans have not any things EXCEPT DAWA
    (Pray) from ALMITY ALLAH to Sir Nayyar for long and healthy living.

    Regards

    Dear Dr. Farooq and

    Your departure is a moment of happiness for us and all those concerned with Public Health, especially those stuck in vicious circle of diseases and the resulting poverty, I am sure you will translate all the Abasyn knowledge into practice immediately. Though, you will greatly me missed as a caring, accommodating and a person who is always willing to help.

    One thing more, by the way I am the most qualified one (105 kg) to have control of your chair. so please inform University officially otherwise they might sell to another heavy weight.

    Wish you all the best and please do visit us occasionally.

    Dear Farooq Jan,

    Dear Farooq Jan,

    Accept my best wishes and have my kind regards.

    On behalf of our team I cordially congratulate your graduation. And hope that you will be one of those who serve there need and miserable people.

    Exactly your note on Abasyn University was truth, and you could easily put in front of us the real and actual picture of the said University.

    Off course, Sir Nayar is one of famous academician that every one especially Afghan student impress from his behavior, lecture methods, bear against question of students, fluency, academic discipline and his hard struggle to his students. Thus, it causes to increase numbers of students in Abasyn University from one semester to another.

    Many Regards Heavy Man,

    I READ ALL THE POSTS OF MY DEAR FRIENDS BUT I WILL ADD HERE THAT GREAT INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT THOSE WHICH PICK HIGHLY SKILLED AND TALENTED STUDENTS AND FORWARD THEM ON GRADUATION WITH HIGHLY QUALIFIED DEGREE HOLDERS BUT GREAT INSTITUTIONS ARE THOSE WHICH PICK LOW SKILLED STUDENTS WITH A DULL MIND AND CONVERT THEM INTO A SKILLED AND TALENTED GRADUATE.S
    AND I THINK ABASYN IN ON OF SUCH INSTITUTION.
    THANX
