Extra should be considered extra

[shibli]

Dear students,
This is my personal observation that students who are involved too much in co-curricular activities are not good students at DIU. The prime duty of a student is to study, first of all, then comes extra curricular responsibilities. If you are very good in sports or event management or presentation, but your CGPA is below 3, you are probably not going to get a good job anywhere.

Of course, extra curriculum is very important for a student to lean many things and to grow. But please make sure that you have to study, first and foremost, then try to excel in other activities.  I was a very good sports person, i used to play cricket and football in inter-school and college competition. I became first in essay competition and impromptu speech competition. But i knew too much involvement in those activities could hamper my studies and i didn't let it happen so.  That's why we took a decision that to become a member in the debating club, a student has to maintain a certain CGPA. Excel in your studies first, then comes co-curricular activities.

All the very best

warmly,

Dear students

The person who is self educated is really educated, goes a saying. Self-study is one of the most important things to do in order to qualify for an examination. Number of hours does not actually come into play when you can actually study for 2 hours with the efficiency of 4 hours slog and there’s no point in studying more.

In classroom teaching, there are several factors which actually hinder the outcome of good learning. Since, the syllabus is quite huge and teachers are burdened to complete the syllabus in a restricted time frame, they often go on a faster pace. Pace doesn’t affect one’s learning process as much as the duration of each class. Long classes actually saturate students and they often feel tired and become less receptive. And in such a situation, you can’t even take a break and let your brain become receptive again.

That’s where self-study outperforms the classroom teaching. When you are studying by yourself you can actually take some time off and take break in order to get back to your usual self as an average student gets tired in an hour and a half, let alone three hours at a stretch.

All you need to do is to, draft a schedule and start working towards your goal in a systematic method. Do not add up sky high study hours in your schedule as you are bound to lose on the track. Keep it straight forward and allot time to your subjects equally.

You should have understood that number of hours is not important but qualitative study is very important.

If you haven’t started doing this, start now as preparation which begins early will yield a much better result.  

You must remember if you have a zest, passion, enthusiasm, gusto for learning, you will have a zest for life.

I agree with you sir and I am involving myself in a different number of clubs. I always try to give the time to the clubs but some of my friends who are getting good grade point, they do not want to involve them self in different types of activities. They always run to get good G.P.A. and always go for consulting and they always try to get extra consideration from the teachers.

Thank you

Dear students
Having good study skills is an invaluable asset in all areas of life, not just university. The term "study skills" encompasses a broad range of skills and abilities: time management, analytical ability, reading, writing, verbal communication, and others.
 
Essentially having well developed study skills will help you become a more confident, effective, productive and intelligent person in both your personal and professional lives.

Studies in student life have paramount importance. Devotion to studies shall bring high qualifications and with merits thereby students can make their dream careers come true. Good studies and hard work can generate highly productive professionals and good citizens. Even in business a good management degree is an asset. While competitions are so tough these days, alone literacy is not enough. Survival is for the fittest; therefore one must be highly qualified to win in competitions. Hence that studies are vitally important is a proven fact.

The objective of TEACHING should first always be to inspire students, be it inspire them to be better students and better persons. Learning can only come when a student is excited about what they are learning or how they are learning. The most successful students are those who have been inspired to become excited about what they are doing.

Dear students

I have observed many of you don't have any passion or real interest for learning. All you want is certificate or degree. You must remember degrees without real learning is of no use. You will have to exhibit your learning in the workplace when you do job. You will have to perform, express, and show your skills and abilities that you have learned in the university. Student life is the time to take loads of pressure and learn. Otherwise you have to repent.

The duties of a student, from my perspective, are three-fold. First of all, the student must know and respect his/her position as a student. Next s/he must respect his/her teacher and submit to the authority of the teacher if s/he wants to learn and study effectively and succeed under his/her tutelage or guidance. Finally, Students must apply themselves to their studies and do well to prove themselves in all aspects of discipline.

[shibli]

Students are always the back bone of a society. The progress of a society depends upon the performance of students in different kinds of educational sectors. So a good student is s/he who keeps in his/her mind that s/he has to serve his/her nation by making himself/herself a positive character of society. Student have many duties and responsibilities in their respective departments.

There are also some duties of a good student to perform them honestly. S/He should be respectful towards his/her parents as well as his/her teacher. S/He should always seek knowledge from teachers. S/He should complete his/her home work. He should be punctual. If a student is confused about any topic. S/he should ask his/her teachers about that topic.

A student should help his/her class fellows in solving their educational problems. S/He should be sincere, hard-working and co-operative. S/He should wear neat and clean dress. S/He should also know his/her religious duties. A student should use the books of library so that s/he may improve his/her knowledge according to its syllabus.

A good student should avoid to keep the company of bad boys and girls. His or her character should be excellent. S/He should avoid from smoking and abusing. It is below than his/her standard to waste his/her time in trivial manners. A student should always wear proper and decent cloth or dress.

But it does no mean that a student should become a book worm. S/He should also take part in games and extra-curricular activities. It is important duty of a student to seek knowledge with full zeal and zest. Hard work in key to success. Greatness is achieved through hard work. Nothing can be got without work. People who succeeded in the world were all hard workers. They did their work regularly and with determination.

Rewards wait for those who study seriously. In this regard, they should be sincere, punctual and hardworking. It is the duty of their teachers to guide them and parents should keep a contact with university authorities for the progress of their sons and daughters in studies.

If a student does his/her work honestly and painstakingly then s/he becomes a very successful person. Because hard work is the key to success.

Students should have a sense of purpose. Many of our students don't know what they are going to do after completion of their degrees. All they want is any suitable job. That is not sense of purpose.

"Having a clarified aim with specific objectives before one turns 20 years, honing knowledge continuously, hard work and capacity to defeat the problems and thus succeed" should be the motto of our students.

[shibli]

Having a sense of purpose in life goes a long way to boost confidence. Everything and everyone has a purpose and leads to an expected end.

A purposeful life needs to be developed. You have to work it.

It is all related to the tools you already have in your possession. You have knowledge or experience, talents, and personality! These can be applied to your career, or doing voluntary work. It is all about fitting in and feeling that you are making a difference in life.

A sense of purpose gives you a feeling of accomplishment, knowing that you are achieving something and getting somewhere. It gives you something to look forward to every day; a reason to get out of bed in the morning with a smile. A purposeful life puts a bounce in your step and makes you feel so good on the inside. It leads to confidence, accomplishment, and a happy disposition.

Young people generally do not have a problem developing their purpose in life. They tend to face life with determination, hope and a vision of making the world a better place. They are just starting out and their main purposes may consist of passing exams, and building careers. They have a lot to look forward to, and that gives them a strong sense of purpose in life.

[shibli]

Sense of Purpose is…

    * Having meaning behind what you do
    * Creating work that you care about
    * Developing synergistic relationships
    * Understanding why you do what you do
    * Living the life you want to lead

There are many different ways of learning; teaching is only one of them. We learn a great deal on our own, in independent study or play. We learn a great deal interacting with others informally -- sharing what we are learning with others and vice versa. We learn a great deal by doing, through trial and error. Long before there were schools as we know them, there was apprenticeship -- learning how to do something by trying it under the guidance of one who knows how. For example, one can learn more architecture by having to design and build one's own house than by taking any number of courses on the subject.

In the educational process, students should be offered a wide variety of ways to learn, among which they could choose or with which they could experiment. They do not have to learn different things the same way. They should learn at a very early stage of "schooling" that learning how to learn is largely their responsibility -- with the help they seek but that is not imposed on them.

[shibli]

I would label education as that which shapes the character of students and provides higher education. Education should primarily prepare students in the real world after they graduate. The problem with education nowadays is that everybody simply focus on getting higher grades, so to say, certificates and get lots of awards by any means necessary, but what the educational institutes forget is that they should shape the character and personality of these students that will allow them to function in society as able citizens.

I completely agree with Mr. Shibli Sir. Many students' objective is to get a good grade and CGPA. But I think these good grades and high CGPA will not fulfill the employer's demand.
