As yet, few of the teachers on this campus have hadi|M MaMgtjia their students’ point of view to take the trouble to arrange their schedules so that last minute quisles will not be necessary. After all, the Importance of any course in anji university lies the opportunity the students have to learn the material presented, long ns the material is learned, not memorised, the course has sen useful function. “Crai*ming'’ isn't conducive to leaning, t*it neither are the dilatory methods used by mest students te covering s course 4n the period of a semester. If students hgve an opportunity to review rather intensively a week or so before the exams, the mater ial gathered in their minds during the semester can be not only more easily remembered, but put to practical use in the exams. There ia no praetisgl laaspn why teachers should get so far behind in their schedules that they must pile up w^rk at the students at the last of the semester. There is extreme practical sense in allow ing the students to have s week of rest and leisihrely review before the great mental and nervous strain of taking<4m llpn teacher’s admission that he “must" do so is an »dmiK*iot||Qf poor organisation of hia material, regardless of the course he is teaching.
