Higher
education is a hardly digestible food for eager students. Though
they project themselves as the Energy Bunny who is ‘so’ ready for
this level of education, they impalpably see that there are still
some hurdles present inside the college or university walls. And the
grimmest of news is that these hurdles are unavoidable.
And
yet, students find a way to bypass such hurdles through copying from
coursework examples or their fellow’s work. They use technology to
cheat exams. It may not be that bad. Or it was for emergency
purposes, the last resort. However, they lost something important in
the course of short-cuts – the forgoing of a precious opportunity
to actually learn.
A
UK coursework was never conceived to cultivate cheating; in fact, it
was intended for self-learning. Apparently, cheating is the famous
fruit of self-learning. Educational institutions may act on it, as
well as the policy-makers. They may get on tough and devise stricter
and foolproof methods. But the most direct target for the ultimate
solution rests on the students, particularly, their attitude.
Below
are the three right attitudes to successfully carry on your UK
coursework:
- Patience – to see you through...
It
is not easy to work on so many drafts per one coursework when there
are so many waiting in line. Patience requires students to have the
willingness to experience inconvenience and other nuisances in
the name of completion.
- Determination – to finish what you started...
It
is not easy to maintain the same momentum as the start.
Determination entails that students pool their powers to prod
themselves forward as the going gets tough.
- Excellence – to fight the temptation of underperforming...
It
is not easy to consistently bring ‘best’ in every subject.
However, aiming to become a truly excellent student will reinforce
the need to exhibit excellence in every coursework, all the time.
Okay,
students may still sceptically eye all of these bleats on attitude.
For such reception, it can only be concluded that they have no
inkling how attitude affects everything, from the simplest
decision-makings to the routine UK coursework.
In
retrospect, attitudes are one of those intangible frameworks that
could only afford to manifest their grasp in students’ lives
through their choices. This is contrary to the common perception
that choice is free choice – something students have to figure out.
That is if they really want to get the optimum of higher education.
