The case is the same in m country! Perhaps more emphasis needs to be put on ensuring students understand and master the concept of vectors for it is quite elementary yet important!
And i have reuploaded the image to display correctly on condenser.. Thank you!
The real issue is that the university system is such that you can pass to the following year while failing some courses. As long as the average mark is above 10, you are good to go.
With such a system, students with gaps in their knowledge background can pass from one year to the next one, and gaps accumulate... There is unfortunately not much we can do here as the majority is strongly against changing anything to the current configuration (I do not belong to this majority, FYI).
I find this quite interesting :) I'll admit I'm a product of this system and that is why I have tried to learn a lot of new things on by myself. An alternative system would be nice, but i bet the other system would probably have it's own lapses as well.
There is no perfect system, and a constant of motion is that "it was better before". Regardless of the period we live, this sentence has always been raised...
At the end, I agree that having alternative is what is important. In our university, we now develop parallel formations in which you must succeed all courses to pass to the next year, and have an average mark of 12/20 instead of 10 to pass. If those conditions are not met, there is still a possibility to pass to the next year, this time according to standard rules. However, the student is re-injected in the main formation and not into the new one that is more restrictive. Obviously, the diploma eventually obtained are slightly different.
Sounds efficient. The student comes out a better product with such a strategy. Education will continue to evolve and i hope it gets better! There is so much knowledge out there and it's getting easier to source for it by the day!
i should come enrol in your school.. hhahhaa :)
I definitely agree with what you wrote here.
You can apply. Enrollment season is open at the moment. I however cannot guarantee anything as any external candidate's application is reviewed by an ad-hoc committee.
I'll sure try to check it out! Thanks
