Students have been shaped and reshaped in universities and colleges. However, what they often fail to recognize is that it's not the institute, it's actually the actors within those institutes.
A student who simply made a mistake on referencing by not adding quotation marks can be accused of plagiarizing. With an intention to learn and correct in order to gain more knowledge and experience, at least that was the original purpose of "schooling", the student is verbally abused and criticized. Could it be the previous bad mark on the test that manipulated the professor into forming a misrepresented image of the student?
There are social and personal factors that can interfere with one's performance, but professors after years of working with the formal, lifeless, systematic curriculums in these institutes seem to forget that.
Thus, with no interest in hearing explanations or patience to help the student, professors rule out any possibility other than what they subjectively assume.
This, is what shapes students. This, is what corrupts students. The doubts on character.
