Why You Should Follow Teachers' Advice.

Teachers offer advice with the intention of helping their students succeed. However, not all students heed this advice, often leading to disappointment in their academic performance. Let me explain further.

At the beginning of the semester, I assigned two tasks to be completed by the end of April 2024. I emphasized the importance of not procrastinating, as submitting assignments early would allow for feedback and corrections, ultimately maximizing grades.

Despite the warning, many students waited until the last day to submit their work. Yesterday, amidst a full day of classes, I received numerous submissions to assess. Due to time constraints, I couldn't provide feedback as promised. This scenario highlights common issues encountered:

  1. Broken links within submissions.
  2. Missing or incorrect links to the original sources.
  3. Failure to meet the minimum word count requirement.
  4. Submission of screenshots instead of the required content.
  5. Minimal effort from last-minute submitters compared to those who completed the task earlier and produced well-structured reviews.

In essence, the assignment was straightforward, and with effort, students could have achieved high scores. My grading was fair, not penalizing for minor errors.

Upon closing submissions, I anticipate inquiries from students dissatisfied with their grades. Hence, I'm writing this to direct them here.

There's no excuse for subpar performance. Those truly dedicated to learning English will find ways to practice and improve. The disparity between committed and indifferent students is evident in class participation and engagement.

Monthly reports highlight exceptional students who actively participate, engage in exercises, and seek additional learning opportunities. They are the reason for my passion in teaching. However, there are also those who show little interest, as observed in today's classes, here show at the following pictures:
