Interesting Wardens of MB

Elvis
I had a warden called Elvis in my second year in MB. He was one hell of a dancer. His fancy footwork would put Ronaldinho, Christiano Ronaldo and Zidane to shame. He should've been a footballer cause he would make the best dribbler of a football the world has ever seen. Too bad he decided to study engineering and put those talents to waste.

I enjoyed Elvis' classes a lot because of the his outstanding dance performance. His magical feet would dance and swing around the microphone wire that is connected the microphone he's carrying. Every class, he would dazzle the students with his repertoire moves that would make the King of Rock n Roll smile in his grave. Because of this, i didnt pay too much attention on what he is teaching and therefore didnt do too well in his subject.

Darth Vader
He was my warden in my third year in MB. This is one sneaky guy. He claims that he is a flexible warden and that we could discuss with him anything regarding the subject. Ok fine but when we told him we wanted to change one of his afternoon classes to a morning class, he came up with a story about representatives of MB will go around checking if he's teaching classes according to the time table. I dunno why he came up with this silly story but each and every one of us in the class knew that it was utter bullshit.

However, the best story about Darth Vader came during the warden evaluation period. The exam schedule for my class was very packed, 5 papers in 4 days. So, a friend of mine went to see Vader to ask him to change his paper to another day so that we would have a less packed schedule. Vader was more than willing to help but with a condition. She must be willing to do something for him. Ok, it's not you think you dirty minded people. She must give a good evaluation of him. I think if you get a good evaluation from your students, you'll get a better increment to your salary. It must have something to do with money. Anyway, Vader gave her some examples on what to write in her evaluation of him. Not very ethical in my opinion. Maybe he wasn't taught engineering ethics when he was studying in Lionpretend (i got this term from a friend's friend's blog. very catchy indeed).

Darth Sidious
This fella is similar to Vader. It is as if they are related or something because he too always say he is flexible. I overheard Vader calling Sidious "big brother" one day in the lab. Hmm, probably long lost brother or something. Anyway, Sidious left an impression on the very first day we met him. He displayed all the glowing comments written by his previous students. Therefore, we thought that he was truly a good warden.

Oh how were we deceived as we would find out towards the end of the trimester. During the evaluation period, he told us all to evaluate him but do not give any bad comments because "it is no use since it is at the end of the trimester". He gave a good suggestion on what we should write in our evaluation, "please don't write bad comments because you wouldn't know what the consequences would be". So, i think everyone who did the evaluation gave him "good" comments because we are afraid of the consequences to our grades.
