Reading habits

Students are having poor reading habits since they spend less time going to study in library than chatting with friends using different types of social media like facebook, whatsapp, twiter and linkedin. They therefore prefer reading while relaxing in their rooms. Something that is funny is that, a student will not concentrate more than five minutes without checking out what is going on in the social media using their mobile phones. This means that as technology continues to advance the tendency to reading habits continues to decrease drastically. Most students therefore relay on the internet for research and other purposes.

IRONY

Parents are struggling and sacrificing themselves to ensure that their children are admitted to the University of Hope. But to those who are admitted at Moi University, the goods things they used to hear about the University turns to be a nightmare especially those who are given a chance to pursue a degree in Education. Students are so many in that no lecture room can be able to accommodate all the students and because there is no alternative, the students are expected to adopt the principle of survival for the fittest. This therefore makes the students to have sleepless nights because a students should avail him/herself in the lecturer room one hour before the lecture commences in order to secure the front seat. Those who come in late are expected to attend the lecture by peeping through the window. Hence, students are discouraged from attending lectures instead they prefer to have their studies in hostels.

In addition, most students from the school of education receive their first transcript while in forth year which discourages them to work hard and creates a big burden to those who fail some of the courses and who need to sit for a supplementary exam. The picture below shows the students of education crying during graduation because of the hard moments they have been going through to acquire their degree. This is an irony because they expect to rejoice the success of their studies.
