Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Some students have poor study habits when they enter university or college.
All students should take required courses to develop good habits.
Study habits influence a student’s academic performance significantly. A good study habit keeps you passionate about study all day, while a bad study habit makes you lazy. Despite the importance of study habits, it is still unwise for schools to open compulsory study habit classes.
First, it is hard to define what is a good study habit and what is not. For different students, the way they perceive study greatly differs. Therefore, a student develops unique study habits that only suit him. For instance, a student may never take notes during class, which is obviously a poor study habit. But the student might take notes after class by memorizing what the professor said and taking down the key points he remembered. This study method may only work for this student, and it may serve him well. Do we have to force every student to take the same courses and develop similar study habits?
Second, good habits are developed naturally and rarely developed by taking required courses. Study habits are developed at an early age. Long before we went to kindergarten, our parents taught us to sit appropriately, write neatly, read often, and be polite. Such scenarios happened all the time, in daily life, not in classes. Therefore, parents are our very first study habit role models. Also, the older we are, the harder it is to get rid of bad study habits, even with required classes. Students may feel uncomfortable and lose study passion because they are forced to do things they don’t like.
Finally, even if the relative departments are determined to open the courses, not every student has to take them. There are still many distinguished students who developed excellent study habits over the years. In my opinion, these students are not supposed to attend the courses. On the contrary, they should be the role modern for those who suffer from bad study habits. If we want to improve a student’s study habits, one alternative solution is to find him a mentor, such as a distinguished peer. By studying with mentors, the student may gradually find a better study habit.
To conclude, students are not supposed to take compulsory study habit lessons. On the one hand, good study habits are personal matters that may not suit everyone. On the other hand, good study habits are formed naturally, not by forced classes. Finding a study habit mentor may work better than taking a required course.
