Question: Many students find it harder to study when they are at university or college than when they are at school. Why is this? What can be done to solve the problem?

ANSWER:

It is often observed that a large number of undergraduates find it more challenging to study at the tertiary education level than in school. This difficulty may occur because of many reasons and actions from higher education institutions may alleviate this situation. 

Certain factors may catalyse the decreased academic performance of university students. The foremost one is increased complexity of academic content which requires more  thorough research and critical thinking abilities. Unlike high school where students are often carefully taught with more general knowledge, college study involves in-depth and specialised learning. Consequently, a large share of them are not synchronised with the demanding workload, leading to subpar scholastic results. Another major driver is that young people may fail to manage their time. They might not have an organised to-do list so they may face the problem of balancing coursework, part-time jobs, and social activities. For example, numerous youngsters may prioritise earning money which leaves them with insufficient time to complete their assignments. 

Nonetheless, educators at the post-secondary level should provide effective solutions for this predicament. One possible approach is the introduction of bridging courses in which young individuals can gain more insights into difficult subjects. For instance, the principle of statistics should be delivered before students enrol in an econometrics major. Moreover, colleges should also provide time management workshops that focus on goal setting and effective study plans. Thus, they may be more organised and know how to balance their academic responsibilities with other aspects of their lives which is conducive to enhanced scholastic achievements.

In conclusion, the menace of students often facing academic challenges when pursuing tertiary study may result from more difficult disciplines and poor time management. Nevertheless, universities should offer preparatory classes and time management seminars to help them be on-par with college standards and expectations. (299 words)
