EXAMS ARE HERE!
THE month of November marks the edge of the semester as both lecturers and students prepare for exams. Lecturers play a huge role in students’ performance during exams. Students want to meet, and often exceed expectations that are set by their lecturers and to satisfy parents. However, lecturers and parents need to be watchful about how they convey these expectations so as to not be unduly pressurizing, thus becoming an added source of stress for the student. Being mindful about a few things when your students are preparing for exams may be helpful at every stage.
