Weakness & Remedies

 

 

  • Shallow knowledge about eddy current, principle of floatation, photoemission and dimensions
  • Inability to systematically prove certain expressions
  • Inability to differentiate between the term “define” and “explain”;
  • Inability to express comprehensively in English language.

Based on the observed weaknesses, the Chief Examiners recommended as follows:

  • Teachers should attend coordination exercises during marking to learn the current trend in marking;
  • Classroom instructions should be backed up with appropriate demonstration;
  • Teachers should expose students to more assignments at the end of each lesson ;
  • Teachers should upgrade their teaching skills to embrace modern methodology;
  • Qualified Physics graduate should be employed by the government;
  • Students should be more dedicated to their studies;
  • Students should be encouraged to buy Physics textbooks
