He - Amudan Law

Back in 2010, 29th March, two students who went by the names Samantha He(to be pronounced as her) and Usha Amudan who were bored beyond any form of reasoning during their Biochemistry lecture; discovered the new He-Amudan Law or otherwise known as the "Blah" Effect.

The following Equation illustrates the "Blah" Effect: B = 1/A

No. of "blahs"s (B) are inversely proportional to the Percentage of Content Absorption (A) by the Student. This would produce a linear descending curve. In other words as the number of "Blahs" in the students' head increases, the percentage he absorbs from the class is reduced drastically.

As the amount of information moves from across the classroom  towards the sleep deprived bored kid, he subconsciously replaces every word the Professor says (with so much conviction) into an alternate form; the "blah" form. When this transformation takes place, the absorption of the information in the air is reduced both in content and at pretty much insignificant sound waves.

What is not obvious from the graph is that, the creative side of the brain overwhelms the student during the "blah" Effect. This has been often misinterpreted as the "Zoning out stage" which is of course incorrect as the geniuses of this law have proven.

Many academicians,especially the ones with multiple qualifications and zero social life, argue that though the creative side taking over might be a good thing, the student is losing out so much information that is required of him. To counter that Amudan recommends the institutions to send their students back home for the day if they were to be diagnosed with the "Blah" Effect. The counter solution might be viewed as an useless one however, that is not the case. As the inventors of the law, being students themselves have clarified the solution further.

Amudan says, "Whilst in class, the student is left with very little to do besides experiencing the "blah" effect. However, things change once they are put in a comfortable location without the voice of the Professor and with the aid of engaging stuff, say for example, video games. At this point the student's brain cells are re-stimulated. After an hour of playing, we go seek glucose for the brain. Food pretty much. Then soon we are on our feet all set to tackle the texts. Unless a curriculum is written around the factors I mentioned, I'm sorry to say the "blah" Effect will take over the student body."

As Amudan was further questioned on the possibility of an exciting professor and an engaging class:"Well at that point, the "Crap" Effect takes over. This involves the student memorising every single crap the textbook carries. Then again, the "Blah" Effect is still present in a subtle form", finishes Amudan.

Some of the rare cases have been individuals in the teaching professions who were noticed with the symptoms of the "Blah" Effect. Notably the ones who were teaching an entire lecture hall of nerds.

Note: The "Blah Effect" is contagious and individuals should be handled with care.
