ASSIGNMENTS: STUDENT’S NIGHTMARE
Let me start
from the beginning.
Remember the
childhood days when our parents used to say “Dear just clear your matriculation
with good marks (90% or above) then your life will be sorted.”
And we are
Indians so we have to listen to our parents. Wright!
So we
cleared our matriculation, went to our parents with our marks sheet but that
was not it. They had a new offer actually a combo offer.
This time
they quoted “My dear, just clear your 12th grade with good marks(the
same as matriculation) and clear a college entrance (but they gave you only two
choices MEDICAL or ENGINEERING(IIT) based on your 12th stream which
was also selected by them) and get admission in a recognized university, after
that your life will be sorted.
And we did
same (tried to).
After the
admission I got to know that my parents came up with me in the college too, in
the form of unit tests, semester exams, seminars, internships and the most
terrible ASSIGNMENTS.
Like my parents these also quotes “DEAR please complete us to pass this semester and complete your graduation, so that you can have a sorted life.
Like my parents these also quotes “DEAR please complete us to pass this semester and complete your graduation, so that you can have a sorted life.
So, moral of
the above scenario is that the student’s life is always surrounded by these
pressures and anxieties.
And Yes I’m
talking about the academic pressures here.
Many
students experience nightmares every night due to upcoming exams or pending
assignments.
But. There
is no need to worry as these are a part of every students life during academic
years.
I also used
to be very upset by these pending assignments.
We got at
least 30-35 assignments in one semester and each should be of at least 40-50
pages long and this is really horrible.
We all know
that we feel a bit of anxiety before our exams. This anxiety sometimes appears
in the form of a dream.
Exams
nightmares are so real that we actually wake up convinced we just failed an
exam. Or sometimes, we are to complete the pending assignments, and the
deadline haunts us. One could dream about submitting the assignments before the
due date but you have not completed them before the deadline.
These causes
insignificant stress in students and start interrupting the sleep regularly.
This is the
stage of learning and exploring new things and any kind of stress or pressure
can break their interests in a particular field.
College or
university are those learning areas where teachers teach and clear all concepts
of a subject and expect students to learn or explore it more on their own.
These tasks
or assignments are considered as massive unhappiness and irritation for the
students, as they feel studying in the university and college, is sufficient.
But there
are many solutions to overcome these nightmares, like you can find online
experts or you can take the help of your classmates or your seniors etc.
In spite of
all these you need to focus on your goal because your knowledge will take to
you to the final destination and the exams and assignments are just a
milestone.
In today’s
world, education is not completed without deep knowledge of the subject.
Research plays a major role in understanding a particular area and completing
the assignments or projects. Usually, when it comes to teaching, assignments
are very important in education.
Libraries
are the primary and easy source of information since older times as they are
available in all educational institutions and can be easily accessed by the
students. Public libraries are also provided by the government for common people in
cities and the digital library is also provided by the government.
Another
important way to gain knowledge is face to face interviews with the veteran
people who have lots of experience in their field.
Furthermore,
subjects teachers and mentors are also experts in their subjects and are the
storehouse of information. They can also help in clearing the basic concepts.
Mostly
students imagine that educational assignments are insignificant but the fact is
that assignments are given to assist the students in self-study and clear their
concepts or ambiguities regarding any subjects.
Being a
student most of the students think that it is not our task to learn ourselves
as it is the responsibility of the teachers to teach us.
However,
this fact cannot be denied that a teacher cannot deliver every single detail to
every student related to any subject.
We will have
to understand that teachers and family
will not come to help us in every stage of our life as we have to do it
ourselves.
The actual
reason behind the purpose of assignments is to improve the learning skills of
students.
Because if
the students start learning on their own then there are more chances they can
grow more.
Academic
assignments enhance the creativity among students as they learn more when they
practice or read something on their own.
This
practice makes the students exam ready and gives a way to solve the unseen
problems.
These
assignments boost the knowledge in a particular subject and helps the students
to develop their writing skills.
It teaches
them time management and develop an
exploring habits in students.
Students of
new generations need to gain practical knowledge because the paperwork will not
help them in their jobs or in the places where they have to prove themselves
but the knowledge they gained is going to showcase their talent.
Keeping in
mind the merits of the assignments, a university can keep oral test or class
representation or viva in the place of written assignments.
Oral tests
can improve the speaking ability of students without any hesitation.
And class
representation can vanish the fear of representing something in front of many
peoples.
Viva can
help the students during their interviews. There they can learn how to interact
with the person having more knowledge than them.
Pending
assignments and its deadline may lead to stress and pressure in the students
which can reduce their academic performance.
This may
lead to stress in the students. These nightmares can end sleep and make them
weak both mentally and physically.
To overcome
stress you can do yoga or can go for a small vacation.
In last I would say that there is
nothing to worry about these assignment pressure as this will only increase
stress in you and will damage your skill.
There are
many solutions to avoid this pressure, and I have mentioned some of the
above. You will only gain if you positively think this.
Believe in
your spirit and learn new things. That’s how you learn and grow.
