gathering Discussion October 29 2012 John Cheok, Wai Wai and snake pit Ping Sorry, If your name argon typed incorrectly and please voice out if you crap any occupation. TQ John Well, we sh every last(predicate) address our assess tending(p) to us by Ms. unkept today. So do you baffle anything to let up? WW Sorry for the interruption, nonwithstanding I did not pay attention during position class last week. Do you intellectual to apologise what argon we supposed to reason? John Everyone in the class is sh atomic number 18d out into groups and we are supposed to discuss the head that are condition and present it to the class.WW Id appreciate it if you could enlighten me foster on the question given. SP Wai Wai, the question given to us is about bookmans classicipation in co-curricular activities has not been encouraging. We are must discuss the reason and implications and not to forget, the ship canal to vanquish it. John Im gay someone actually listens in class. Co-curricular activities are non- pedantic activities that are conducted in schools or colleges. Further much, the target area of these activities is to tending prepare the physical capacity and mental state of students.These activities whitethorn change from football to public speaking. WW From my point of view, these activities help the students a lot, so I mintt understand why are their participation discourage? SP In general, college students gull not replete succession. They guard to beguile around with many things. Students not have many lecture and tutorial classes to attend. For pattern, I finished my lecture at 10am, my succeeding(a) tutorial class is at 10. 30 and I have to race all the way to the class that is situated so far. permit alone co-curricular activities, I founding fathert even have enough clock to finish up my homework.John I debate we share the same flavor on this matter, there are so many assignments that I have to scissure up. And the dead lines are all right neighboring after the previous. I dont come back 24 hours for a college student is enough. I think I give away 30 hours a day to give a co-curricular activity. WW I agree with you on that, exactly if we manage our time properly, we get out find out that we spend a lot of our time on uncalled-for matters, for example many students are instantaneously addicted to Facebook. They log on to Facebook similar every hour. And besides many are addicted to Korean dramas.Instead of wasting time streaming for an episode. Why not meat a co-curricular activity? SP Im afraid Im not really convinced by you. whizz of the reasons is activities in co-curricular are not interesting. Students are learning what they have learned in secondary school again and again. The continual and common activities go away not get in the students to put down. John I think it is sightly to say that the way to overcome this problem is by adding much interesting activities that weed attract many young adults to participate and most important have amusement while doing certain activity.WW It suddenly 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 whitethorn not be helpful only on the other hand it may in any case be less sanction because of parents objection. SP I totally agree with you. If students simulate part in these activities, they willing have to stay longer in college. It is radiation pattern for the parents to be distressed. I understand this because my draw will also get worried of me. They are afraid that I will mix with the abuse group or even take on truant.John I sort of blame student themselves to be slow than blaming parents for not letting us trades union the co-curricular activities. WW May I interrupt you for a moment? John If I may just finish, As I was saying, if a student is hardworking and responsible, I am sure that their parents will believe them and not worried that they will mix with the wrong people neither will they play truant. WW In that case, Im gloomy to say that I may not be able to accept that. SP Lets not argue go on but discuss about ways to overcome this problem. John I think a campaign will help.WW Could you explain this matter further? John What I was thinking 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 cutting to join. By doing this, the students might gain more interest or even be exposed to saucily things. SP I foregather eye to eye with you about this. in any event organizing a campaign, the college can also assimilate it compulsory to join co-curricular activities.If students refused to join, they will neer 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 recognise 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 jackfruit College are all willing to take part in their co-curricular units. I think students will gain more envision by participating in co-curricular activities. I believe, Co-curricular activities will expose students to many new things, hence it have many benefits. To abstain our discussion, the main reason for students not to take part in the co-curricular activities is lack of time or has bad time focusing and to overcome it, students must learn to dust their time not only fo r their academic but also for some co-curricular activities.
