There have been many changes if
we see the way a student prepare their academic career as we compare with
present scenario and that of students 10 years from now. Student of the present
age is now bound more on digital technology while 10 years from now students
does not have that much exposure to digital life. I am writing this by
considering the scenario of India.
With the development in the
field of digital life, students are now started studying online mode, even
their study material are all stored in the form of data on their laptops and
mobile. Obviously, it should be, people should take the advantage of technology
and development. At the same time Government has also been initially projects
which are based on technology; one simple example of this is Digital India
project by India Government.
Development in any form is
considered good but my question here is should the student of present day
forget the traditional method of studies. Because I have seen huge number of
students has stopped buying books and preparing self notes. Instead, they are
looking for e-books and other ready-made notes. There are huge numbers of
WebPages which give the privilege free e-book downloads and other similar notes.
In short, my opinion is that student is becoming more and lazier. Well, the
case may be different for some student and I am not talking about those
students who wisely used the advantage of technology or use in the right way.
When we were students half of
day was spent in preparing notes, going to the library for referring to
different books, even in the classroom writing down notes what the lecturer
have said. Taking a simple example, in the lecture of basic civil engineering,
a separate note is kept with title civil engineering notes where every notes
and formula of basic civil engineering is maintained. But students of the
present age have also started asking to provide the notes in printed form where
they even do not care if they have written or attended the lecture or note.
Some of the students just go to college so that they can collect printed notes
from their friends so that they could make a photocopy and keep a copy for them
as they have missed the lecture.
Students seem to have forgotten
the benefit of making self-notes. As I have taken the example of Civil
engineering notes let's continue with this. This civil engineering notes is
hand written and prepared by myself by referring to various books and other
notes. By doing so we also learnt the lesson automatically in a unique way. At
the time of the exam, just one-time revision is enough to write the exam,
thereby getting more time to give extra effort on something else. At the same
time the habit of making notes help to improve the vocabulary, writing skill
and speed of writing and much more. I should say that present students are not
such enthusiastic or maybe I am wrong.
This is an open discussion; you
can also give your opinion. What do you think?
