LECTURE HOURS ARE TOO LONG
Take 5 please !!! That's the common word said by student in lectures. This is significance to the issue that student in UTP were facing through this time. As we all know lectures are the places where the lecturer delivered and taught the student about the subject he or she are teaching. There is nothing wrong about lectures but the problem arise when it is too long. The problem are ; poor concentration, not enough time for own revision and insufficient time for resting.
First of all the problem that cause by long lectures is student fail to give full concentration during that particular lectures. Most of common student can only pay their full attention for about 45 minutes and no more than that. It is such a torture for student when they have to stand for more than 2 hours for lectures and as a result many of them end up sleeping or doing something useless rather than listening and concentrate on the lecture given by the lecturer. As a result it's just useless for the lecturer to stand up explaining about the topic to his or her student for that period of time.
Next, the problem of long lectures is student experience not enough time for own revision. There is no doubt that every student have their own preferred way of study. Meaning to say that some student prefer to do their own revision for better understanding or some which prefer study in his or her study group. Because of this particular reason it's just seem not fair for this type of student having an endurance or long lecture hours because they will face difficulties in finding sufficient time for their own revision or studying in their study group.
Lastly, insufficient time for resting is also the problem arise from long lecture hours. It is noticeable that the universities management want to ensure student of this university can perform better than others out there so they decided to lengthened the lecture hours. It is true that through long lecture hours student will gain more understanding about the subject which were taught by their lectures but they have to consider that student also a human being and need enough rest. Although student will gain more knowledge they will be physically weak and more likely to get sick because of the lack of rest.
As a conclusion, long lecture hours should not be practise in UTP because it bring more negative effect rather than benefited the student themselves. Management should consider the ability of concentration of student and also for student which have different type of study preference. Other than that they also have to give their student enough rest so that they can give optimal result at the end of the semester.
