How well has your course influenced you?  What would be the need for studying, if it doesn't create a better you?  How strongly has your course moved you?  What would be the encroachment of obtaining knowledge, if you are just studying for fun?

As I stare at him with pity, the question that kept running in my mind was; how in the world was he going to absorb all that was written in the stack of books place on his table? To my amazement, he kept on writing. His eyes were glued to the screen of the laptop in front of me, he wanted to extract as much information he could gather.

I would really like to pin point a particular thing and say that it is supposed to be the priority of a student. Maybe books, studying or extracurricular activities but the truth is that all these things are enclosed in a bigger body called “school”.

Uhmmm, getting your academic priorities right on the track requires you to prioritize your goals. Lot of students can’t even ascertain their priorities in life not to talk of academic priorities.  Well, to make things easier; let's take a look at priorities.

            Having considered the "Benefits of Reading as a Priority" and also "Misplaced Academic Priority" extensively. Today, we'll be looking at other factors that hinder students from reading or that students engage in when reading is no longer a priority to them. 

Admission into a tertiary institution like a Polytechnic, college of education or University comes with a feeling of excitement ; a fantastic sense of accomplishment for the Student, more importantly after several failed attempts. At times you may discover that you are the first to achieve that kind of feat or break a particular record in your locality.

Setting a priority can be one of the most difficult decisions to make in one's life, but once you set it and you get it right,  you never have regrets. Reading shouldn't be an optional part of our lives, we should make it part and parcel of us.  

Knowing how to set your priorities right is very essential. The ability of someone to know what is needful and expedient at a particular time is considered as an asset any man can posses in fulfillment of his purpose in life. If there is any adjective that has made a difference in the lives of Men; it is the word "Reading".

Firstly, on what scale as a student will you measure the importance of education ? Academic priority is the establishment of theoretical activities that is not expected to produce an immediate or practical result but is in the highest status of importance and urgency. 

Students are naturally motivated to do things either right or wrong but what is the motive or scientific discipline that makes students act. What really are the laws that drive students towards this action? 

I would like to go straight to giving out some of the factors that influence reading and cramming but in order to give my readers a deeper understanding; I’d like to distinguish reading and cramming.

Motivation!, the scientific discipline  that elicits a  being to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior.

        As explained in detail in our exposition on this topic in the former post. Many factors are responsible for student's perspective and response to both reading and cramming. As identified, we have internal factors at play like self-will, passion, goal, determination and external factors also like peers, the environment, background, pressures, culture, technology, expectations from parents and the society at large.

In my attempt at defining the concept of motivation, the first step I would take is to state it expressly that I can not and would not attempt to talk about all that motivation entails, to do this would mean embarking on a long journey of several articles Which is not likely in the end to exhaust the comprehensive concept of motivation.

She walks into the classroom majestically, she was good at what she does, she was ready to do justice to the topic in the course outline. No objection, she is extremely good at this job, teaching was her passion, the students all had a consensus that the reason you would want to skip her class had not yet been born, we were always ready to here what she has to say in each of her classes. 

It is an acknowledged fact and there is a consensus that the large volume of lecture materials and notes has contributed in a great way to the development of the habit of cramming amongst students in Nigeria educational facilities.

         I'm pretty sure you have answered that already. Your answer either in the affirmative or negative. However, I'll like us to examine this critically together and determine if bulky, voluminous materials and lecture notes are really necessary for students and if they encourage reading habits. Most teachers or lecturers come to class, give you voluminous notes, materials and textbooks and tell you to "read them all" as you'll be tested on all.              Let's create a scenario of you having lots of books piled up on your reading table or shelf, all meant to be read, about five(5) to six(6) each for more than half of the overall courses or subjects. Truthfully, the first thing that comes to an average student's mind is fear. You begin to wonder how you are supposed to actually "read" all of the books. Just a textbook or two on a normal day is seen as a really burdensome task by most students, myself inclusive, how much more f

Reminiscing when I started this journey of education. I only had to study the English Alphabets and the first grade level of English language. I began to gain knowledge as my brain accommodated the information rightful for its level. 

Everything in life come with its merit and demerit, it is a general knowledge that it's take a seed to make a forest because in that seed is a potential for a tree and that tree lies a forest. 

Reading would have been more fun if we are allowed to read at a reasonable pace and also read the required materials for a particular course or subject. 

Moderacy is a word said by many but used by few in the generation we find ourselves. How do you cool off an over-heating computer, it's very simple, Turning it off for a while. Human being ain't a computer, likewise, we are not toys, one of the functions of a toy is to create fun or serve as a form of recreation to the holder. The moment you lose priority over what lies ahead of you, it is either you "major on your minor or minor on your major".

What is extra curricular activities?  The word “extracurricular” can be broken down into its roots for a literal explanation: “extra” means “outside” and “curricular” refers to all of the work you do in the classroom. So extracurricular activities are just activities that you do outside of class.
