Down Plays of Part Time Courses

Part time courses are quite efficient in colleges today. They are mostly preferred by older people who have many obligations to tend to but really have to add some credit to their resume. Part time classes give students an opportunity to carry on with their duties without really having to suspend their academics. This is the major portal through which employees can aim to climb up the ranks of responsibilities at work while at the same time maintain their current position at work while they are at it. However everything has its pros and cons. Downplays of evening classes are several. First of all, the lectures are part time, meaning that minimal time is spent with the lecturer in class compared to the normal schooling schedules. In other instances, classes are only held during weekends. Less time spent with lecturers directly implies less time to interact with the lecturer for further classification of concepts. In addition, the syllabus coverage may be poor. This is due to the less time allocated for the lecturer to go on with his classroom business. This prompts many lecturers to send notes and handouts via email in order to give all the content to students. Part time courses are also very effective in consumption of personal and recreation time. Most of the weekends which would have been spent with friends and family or alone getting fit are spent in the classroom. If this is not checked students who overwork themselves may end up being fatigued and they may fall... read more

Religious Illusions affecting College Students

Hiding behind religion is a norm common in almost all levels of education in the system today. Religious illusions affect students when at their most desperate point, when they really need to make up for their mess and score high grades. However, with all respects to religion, there is no way religion will supplement hard work especially when it comes to academics. Miracles seldom occur in academics and if they do so they must be enforced by some great deal of hard work. To some college students, religion has become like a drug. More time is spent trying to get close to divinities than trying to find out definitions in books. This is an occurrence common during the examination finals time; when everyone is in a rush to complete assignments, take CATs and at the same time prepare for the final exam. When looking at college life as a whole, students who are close to completing their college course are the most likely individuals to suffer from this syndrome. This comes mainly after squandering the first and most productive years of college in booze and parties. With the realization of this, then comes the urge to find a sense in life and what other better way that finding consolation through meditation and sense of self-worth provided by religion. Religious illusions make students think that they can someway get away with all the time lost and end up with an outstanding certificate. However, after all is said and done most of these folk end up being disappointed with some of them recording severe cases of manic depression. Best way to... read more

Is Google Becoming an Alternative for Hard Work?

Assignments in college are meant to help students get a better understanding of what the lecturer was explaining in the classroom. They have been in play in the education system ever since it was launched. They are quite an effective way to ensure that students go ahead to reflect and research on whatever was being taught in class. In college, lecturers give students assignments to help them earn marks which contribute to their final grade. However, most students in college view assignments as a punishment that is meant to keep them indoors with a pile of books rather than going out once in a while to have fun. As most of them do say, ‘college is four years of fun interrupted by examinations and assignments.’ As a result most of them go ahead to copy pasting assignments from Google. Plagiarism is the worst academic offence as it clearly shows lack of creativity and poor understanding of concepts. With the advent of Wikipedia and other websites which provide vital information that may be academically relevant, students are finding it very easy to tackle their assignments. With just the click of several buttons on the computer a student is able to complete his assignment, print it, go have fun as he waits to graduate; what other better way of producing half-baked professionals. The misuse of Google, making it a supplement for hard work is encouraged by the ever present WIFI internet connection in most colleges today. Dealing with this problem requires extreme personal evaluating and taming of behavior lest we end up with a rotten... read more

Is Skipping Class Justifiable?

For most college students in the world today skipping class is very normal for whatever reason there may be. There are very many reasons that make skip class and maybe these are the reasons that would justify it. However, most students lack a really legit reason why they skip class. As a result it becomes routine for them. To others it is a way of showing off to earn them popularity in campus for their crooked conduct. Students are required to at least attend 75% of their lecturers in a semester, failure to which they are not eligible to take their final exams at the end of the semester. However, students have come up with very many ingenious ways of making up for that 75% attendance. Some rely on their classmates to cover up for them in various fraudulent ways like signing class attendance sheets on their behalf. Others have gone to the extremes of bribing lecturers with either money or using their body. With all respects to morals, this is crime and gross misrepresentation of justice. However, based on the reason for skipping class, this action can be justified. Failure to attend lectures due to health concerns may be justifiable and the administration may excuse a student who presents such an argument for reason. Skipping lectures due to absence from school as a result of family problems may also be justified. As a matter of fact students should learn that there are official channels of seeking to be away from school for a period of time. This is so as to find evidence to prove that skipping class... read more

Striking a Balance between Morals and Priorities

For most college students today, morals do not constitute part of their daily argument when deciding what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Their wayward priorities are evident from their mode of dressing, drug and substance abuse and their code of conduct towards their lecturers. However, balance needs to be established between these two in order to learn to tackle simple tasks that mean a lot to achieve academic success. Balance involves utilizing our enrichments to make up for our own depletions and short comings. Lack of a balance between morals and priorities to a student may cause burnout. This is a syndrome which causes emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of relationships and negative self-evaluation inhibiting sense of self-accomplishment and leads ultimately to poor academic performance. To prevent this, one needs to reflect and clarify personal priorities with regards to the morals of the society. A simple task like waking up in the morning and attending lectures in time requires a good set of priorities for any serious student. Morals would tell the student that it is expected of him to utilize all the resources that have been laid down at his disposal in order to be successful. In the free world we live in today the choice of what to wear is fully left at the discretion of individual priorities. However, this is where morals come into pay to bring in the issue of decency. When making a choice of attire in the morning you should strive to strike a balance between your fashion taste and the comfort levels of the general... read more

Why Early Revision for Finals is Important

Finals are almost here with the end of the semester fast approaching. Most students have sadly not realized this and are still living with the illusion that campus is all about fun. However, the time of panic is fast approaching and what better way to avoid this than studying promptly for the finals. Studying early for the finals in very important for the purpose of counterchecking notes to make sure that there are no gaps which may contain critical information without which the exam results would be a total flop. When students study early for final exams it gives them time to establish if there are any gaps in their notes and as a result search for the relevant notes early enough to avoid last minute rush. Studying early also helps to relieve the students from pressure which comes about due to excessive work load. Early studying gives adequate time to tackle the work load from the syllabus slowly hence giving one the opportunity of reading and re-reading the notes for better understanding. Early revision also gives time to diligent students to consult with their lecturers in places where they do not comprehend concepts put across in the notes. This places them ahead of their counterparts who only skim through their notes without really having deep knowledge of concepts. Early revision also helps students understand their notes rather than cram them. Students may get away with cramming in the short run but this however causes them future troubles as they are presented to the job market as half-baked... read more
