Students Participation in Co-Curricular Activities

Group intelligence October 29 2012 John Cheok, Wai Wai and Sin Ping Sorry, If your name atomic number 18 typed wrong and please voice step forward if you have any problem. TQ John Well, we sh altogether address our task assumption to us by Ms. Low today. So do you have anything to bring up? WW Sorry for the interruption, but I did non pay attention during English associate last week. Do you intelligence to explain what are we supposed to discuss? John Everyone in the stratum is divided into groups and we are supposed to discuss the question that are given and present it to the class.WW Id appreciate it if you could enlighten me further on the question given. SP Wai Wai, the question given to us is to a greater extent or less students positionicipation in co-curricular activities has not been encouraging. We are must discuss the reason and implications and not to forget, the ship grassal to overcome it. John Im glad someone rattling listens in class. Co-curricular act ivities are non-academic activities that are conducted in schools or colleges. Further much, the objective of these activities is to benefactor prepare the physical strength and mental state of students.These activities whitethorn gull leave from football to public speaking. WW From my point of view, these activities help the students a lot, so I cant understand why are their participation reprove? SP In general, college students have not enough date. They have to juggle close to with many things. Students not have many lecture and tutorial classes to attend. For precedent, I finished my lecture at 10am, my next tutorial class is at 10. 30 and I have to race all the way to the class that is situated so far. let alone co-curricular activities, I dont even have enough time to finish up my homework.John I specify we share the same opinion on this matter, there are so many assignments that I have to pass up. And the deadlines are all right next after the previous. I dont think 2 4 hours for a college student is enough. I think I ascertain on 30 hours a day to join a co-curricular legal action. WW I equalize with you on that, but if we manage our time properly, we go away find out that we spend a lot of our time on unnecessary matters, for caseful many students are now addicted to Facebook. They log on to Facebook want every hour. And as well many are addicted to Korean dramas.Instead of expend time streaming for an episode. Why not join a co-curricular activity? SP Im afraid Im not really convinced by you. One of the reasons is activities in co-curricular are not interesting. Students are l shed light oning what they have intoxicateed in secondary school again and again. The repetitive and common activities provide not attract the students to get into. John I think it is fair to ordain that the way to overcome this problem is by adding more interesting activities that can attract many young adults to participate and most important have fun whi le doing certain activity.WW It all at once rang in my mind that many of my friends told me this before, the activities conducted in co-curricular are not helpful in their future career. On one hand it may not be helpful but on the other hand it may also be less encourage because of parents objection. SP I totally obtain with you. If students take part in these activities, they go forth have to stay time-consuming in college. It is normal for the parents to be worried. I understand this because my mother testament also get worried of me. They are afraid that I will mix with the wrong group or even play truant.John I rather blame student themselves to be lazy than blaming parents for not let us join the co-curricular activities. WW May I interrupt you for a upshot? John If I may just finish, As I was saying, if a student is hardworking and responsible, I am sure that their parents will bank them and not worried that they will mix with the wrong people uncomplete will they pla y truant. WW In that case, Im sorry to say that I may not be able to accept that. SP Lets not argue further but discuss about ways to overcome this problem. John I think a lead will help.WW Could you explain this matter further? John What I was mentation just now is that the college should held a campaign to encourage the students to take part in co-curricular. In that campaign, students should be given with more details and they can also ask questions about the activities that they are keen to join. By doing this, the students office gain more interest or even be opened to new things. SP I see eye to eye with you about this. at any rate organizing a campaign, the college can also make it compulsory to join co-curricular activities.If students refused to join, they will never graduate. WW I concur with you on this issue, but if the college forced their students to take part in the co-curricular activities, they students will not enjoy themselves but it will even male them more stress. From my point of view, the college should reward students with credit hour. For example in Tar College, if you join the co-curricular units, at the end of the semester, you will earn two credit hours. John Wow, by doing this, students will gain more knowledge and also do something for them to graduate by earning those credit hours.Im sure students in TAR College are all willing to take part in their co-curricular units. I think students will gain more experience by participating in co-curricular activities. I believe, Co-curricular activities will imperil students to many new things, hence it have many benefits. To conclude our discussion, the primary(prenominal) reason for students not to take part in the co-curricular activities is lack of time or has bad time management and to overcome it, students must learn to distribute their time not only for their academic but also for some co-curricular activities.
