You are NOT Just a Number
When your studies get tough, YOUR interests should come first!
Reading for an undergraduate degree is one of the most difficult times in your career. The transition from basic compulsory education, to higher education is not just stressful, but utterly scary to first year freshmen!
At higher education the expectations of the system flips overnight. Students are expected to know the theoretical aspects of the field of study inside and out, yet, it is their application that will make a star student, and not simply the ability to regurgitate what is on a text book or lecturer’s notes. The application of knowledge and proof of the skills attained are the primary objectives of higher education.
The role of the academic is to help in crossing the bridge from rote to reason.
Everyone should be able to cope with the demands of higher education
With the right institution offering help and assistance!
The horror stories of students trying to grapple with a subject whilst professors and lecturers seem engrossed in a world of their own, are no secret!
Students who go through a positive experience in their compulsory education, in a well organised and structured academic year, by teachers following a sound syllabus and continuously assisting students, will find the seemingly chaotic non-system of a University hard to grasp.
Some lecturers stretch the concept of ‘students reading for a degree’ to its furthest limits — examining students who feel ill-prepared for the exam because of the little contact with their lecturers, and no opportunity to attain feedback to their questions. No wonder, seeing that students are usually amassed in their hundreds in a lecture theatre!
The Student-centred learning model that is practised at Saint Martin’s Institute is key to a sound higher education in today’s fast paced world. Academics, whilst pursuing higher levels of learning in their specialisation through research, must complement this through a teaching vocation. It is an anomaly to have a ‘lecturer’ who is so engrossed in research, yet finding teaching tedious if not a waste of time.
A true researcher is one that gets motivated through publication of findings, and the teaching of such findings to his/her own students!
Many Universities make the effort to minimise their costs by cramming as many students as possible to a single lecture. The best Universities, though, focus on the needs of the student and ensure a low lecturer to student ratio, because this is a clear indicator of the attention that each academic can allocate to each student in class, increasing the possibility of students passing with great grades!
At Saint Martin’s Institute of Higher Education with a ratio of one academic for every ten students, lecturers are, in all aspects, mentors and facilitators for their students, with guaranteed written feedback on pieces of work presented throughout the academic year to each and every student.
