Assalammualaikum,
Today let us talk about how student feel when they know their next semester schedule is tougher than the school schedule.
After I’ve received an email contained a Diploma semester 2011/2012 schedule, I’ve felt a little bit sorry for them.
Their schedule is tougher than school schedule that almost every day they must come from 8 am until 5 pm just to hear what the lecturer is talk about.
So, in my opinion, it is not necessary to burden the student with all the tutorial class and extra lab session just. If there any lab, just make it for 6 to 8 weeks per semester or reduce to 2,3 lab sessions per subject.
They did not have enough time to study and fresh up their memory after the morning class and then need to come to the class at 2 pm until 5 pm for another class.
I’ve remembered during the last time I’ve just need to come to the class for not more than 8 hours per week to the class and it is kind of relaxing.
