AODE the nightmare of the Panhellenic people. Long comedy post follows.

start_of_tldr: There was once a nationally examined course called AODE (principles of organization and business administration) where students were asked to parrot 60 pages verbatim. Everyone hated it. Watch the videos below to understand why we’re talking crazy. end_of_tldr.

For the old to remember and the younger to learn (always with good intentions) there was once a nationally examined course called Principles of Business Organization and Management. The course started to be examined from the school year 1999-2000, and as strange as it may seem to you, it is still examined in EPAL (not exactly the same texts, but the same logic. The same author is common in the old book and the current EPAL). This course was a nightmare for many, many students. Why; Because it was a book where the 60 pages were inside material where you had to parrot it with article, comma and period precision. It had caused so much psychological distress that videos of students burning, destroying and even shooting the book were uploaded on youtube as well as songs expressing their outrage. These videos are now part of our national heritage (download them before they’re taken down):

It doesn’t matter if you want to go to a science school. If you are in the technology direction you should learn by heart exactly what the book says. And the texts of the book should be difficult, abstract and with everything that is editorial. It wasn’t teaching you anything at all. They were aerologies.

I could swear that I remember this never being discussed in parliament but I can’t find the video. However, the author himself apologized when his son’s year happened to give Panhellenic. https://www.facebook.com/dimitris.bourantas.7/posts/416703218470197/

An example from old threads with the answers: https://www.economics.edu.gr/files/AODE-PANELLHNIES-2013-APOLYTHRIES-LYSEIS.pdf

Example text from the book:

"As mentioned, the difference in people’s personalities makes them see the world around them differently. It is therefore necessary for the transmitter to try to understand the way in which the receiver perceives the world around him, his needs, his expectations, his knowledge, his psychological and physiological state. The same effort is required on the part of the receiver. Thus, the transmitter knows better what the receiver can perceive than what it wishes to transmit. Different codes are often the main cause of miscommunication between people. The effort to communicate with the same code, i.e. to speak the same language, is a key parameter for improving communication. The use of simple language and words that leave little scope for different interpretations undoubtedly improve communication."
