Why Students Fail?

An Excerpt -
Why student fails in exam??????? It's not the fault of the student if he/she fails,Because theyear has an `ONLY 365' days.Typical academic year for a student.
1. Sundays-52,Sundays in a year, which are rest days.Balance 313days.
2. Summer holidays-50 where weather is very hot anddifficult tostudy. Balance 263 days.
3. 8 hours daily sleep-means 122 days. Balance 141days.
4. 1 hour for daily playing-(good for health) means 15days.Balance126 days.
5. Two hours daily for food & other delicacies (chewproperly &eat)-means 30days. Balance 96 days.
6. 1 hour for talking (man is a social animal)-means15 days .Balance 81 days.
7. Exam days per year at least 35 days. Balance 46days.
8. Quarterly, Half yearly and festival holidays)-40days. Balance6days.
9. For sickness at least 3 days. Balance 3 days.
10. Movies and functions at least 2 days. Balance 1 day.
11. That 1 day is your birthday.

Now lets see how a student would pass the examination -
1. He would study as well as do some off-track works on Sundays such as making mechanized small vehicles, a mechanized lawn mower instead of chatting topics that they can find on utility. Students should do some practicals of what they study in the syllabus and non-syllabus.
2. Whether is very hot and difficult to study – Students can go to a lake, river or pond and try to engineer a submersible out of readily available materials such as old water tanks. For the media students there is no whether, climate, social situation, armed conflict cannot be a hindrance. Humanitarian students can study how much labour, money, motivation in such a whether, how the whether can be used for maximum productivity of a state, etc. Literature students can sit besides lakes and write poems and prose that is how books are formed and we see the famous people in the Western civilizations are what they are because of this how they manage their life. Imagine how much famous people would come from India if our students would work this way – to work as an enjoyment and not as a punishment.
3. Well sleep well. But do not do the early to bed and late to rise.
4. Instead of just playing biology students can study breathing try to correlate it with his diet, find innovative methods of increasing stamina for athletes and soldiers, how to save dying children in famine areas and so on.
5. Same as point 4. Studying nutrition by biology students, expressing the good tastes by literature students, studying good supply of food to the population by the students of humanitarian students such as psychology, business administration, political science etc.
6. Please talk something that is helpful to the community. Exchange information and new ideas. Talk intellectual topics rather then “pal what’s up” or “you are sooooooo cuteeeee” sort of topics. Talk about the learning that you do in your course syllabuses. Lecture each other about your studies, that would help them to remember instead of studying by burying their heads into the textbooks and complaining about how hard it is to study.
7. Give your examinations without any tensions. If you had studied your syllabus regularly then you would have no problems. See at examinations in a positive way that examinations would help you in facing the actual problem in the real world rather than considering examinations as a unnecessary activity.
8. Sociology, anthropology, psychology students can study the festivals write reports. Some modification of the reports can be used for newspaper articles, some for PhD thesis, some for movie storyline. Again there is no place that is a no for media students.
9. Study, study and study. Your ill health too needs to be studies by you and your friends and everyone would study and do innovative thing from their line of expertise. Media students would make documentary about the illness.
10. Very good for media students. Again student should study movies and functions from their perspective of studies. Participation in stage lectures and addressing opportunities should be taken at its most.
11. Sorry on relaxation in your birthday too. Do something productive here too. Your Event Management students can manage the event in the best way in the least expenses. The economic students it is a good opportunity to study.

The point is that each phenomena, object, situation has all the perspectives that we study in our courses. All we need to do is to study them and find innovative ideas in whatever form it may be from these perspectives.
