  • Limited knowledge about optical fibres, semiconductors, binding energy and interpretation and application of velocity-time graph;
  • Inability to define terms correctly in Physics and careless skip of units of quantities in the final answer;
  • Inability to handle correctly calculations involving numbers expressed in standard form;
  • Bad handwriting;
  • Inability to distinguish between the terms “Define” and “Explain”;

  • Classroom instructions should be backed up with appropriate demonstration;
  • Teachers should expose students to more classwork and assignments;
  • Teachers should upgrade their teaching skills to embrace modern methodology;
  • Qualified Physics graduate should be recruited by the government;
  • Students should be more dedicated to their studies;
  • Students should be encouraged to buy Physics textbooks.
  • Students should be more dedicated to their studies.
