Typical students' complaints at meetings and responses
At university and students liaison meetings, the following students' complaints come up regularly:
Student A: The programme is very intensive; I am not able to absorb more than 50% of what is covered in the workshops. I am very keen to learn but what can be done about it.
University admin staff: It is an intensive programme, so you have to work hard and accept the arrangement. Students want a programme of short duration. Moreover, if we extend the programmme duration, the school fee will be increased a lot, which cannot be accepted by students.
This writer: I thought the programme has already been solved 30 years ago. Students should study the programme content before the school year begins and start to do some self-study about 1-2 months before the school year starts. This will enable them to learn more an enjoy the learning during the study. They should also cultivate learning as a life-time hobby.
University programme is not based on speedy spoon-feeding and the system is not quite a private-centre exam-coaching business model. Teachers are also not private-centre exam-coachs. If students have misconception or do not accept the university approach, they should pursue their study via the professional exam-based route via those exam-coaching centres. They should not enroll to study for a university degree programme to start with.
