A Comparison of Performance between Engineering and Non-Engineering Students
Comparison of performance between engineering and non-engineering students enrolled in advanced composition of IT12FA1 at Technological Institute of the Philippines during the 1st Semester of Academic Year 2013-2013
Introduction:
According to the book of Gloria G. Salandanan entitled “Element of Good Teaching.” The students’ capacity to learn varies, thus students can be classified into fast, average and slow learners while some are high, moderate or low achievers. Tactful teachers know when and how to adjust their questions during discussions or require reinforcement activities that will enable each of them to be able to pace with the rest of the class. The high performers tackle the more difficult learning tasks while the moderate and slow performers do the average ones. Encouragement and proper guidance will enable them to achieve the lesson’s objectives. Learning can be more fun this way.
Every student interacts and feels differently from one another, though they are of the same age and family background, their characteristics both inherited and acquired, need considerable judging and understanding.
The students’ background knowledge about the subject matter may vary. Some know more while others know less few know nothing at all. Expert teachers determine the needs of all the class by giving them a pretest, review or advanced organizer before starting the lesson. Then, she sequences the topics from easy to difficult.
The difficulty levels for each grade, as well as stage of intellectual development, are considered in the scope and sequence arrangement of concepts prescribed in the curriculum and accompanying syllabus. These were reviewed and approved by the teachers who are teaching the same subject as well as by field specialists and curriculum experts. The time allotment for each topic and sub topics are suggested including the list of references. Teaching advanced composition should be more than just a challenging freshman course.

    Students will either learn for their own fulfilment or for another outside reason e.g. wanting to be promoted at work. There are many ways to motivate students e.g. praise and encouragement, setting achievable targets, asking open questions ( which will promote discussion by all). Be aware of attention span – all are different so allow breaks and a varied approach such as working in small groups as some may be uncomfortable in large groups. Be organised and orderly – well planned classes work well. Give constructive feedback on an ongoing basis. Vary teaching methods to suit all learning styles. Many factors influence student learning including student self confidence and self esteem. Some students will need to overcome personal challenges. When students are achieving targets they will be motivated to move on in their…

    People also learn better through preparation and the enthusiasm that the teacher shares with her students. I find that a successful teacher makes new material fun and fool students into learning. Students enjoy and comprehend the material when they don’t realize they are learning. Teachers should make the goal to always encourage and inspire students to learn.…

    When I entered the University of the West Indies, I thought I was at the summit of English Language, the summit of writing, the summit of analysis, but I was in for a rude awakening when I entered my first class for Writing in the Disciplines, FD14A. The foundation course Writing in the Disciplines on a yearly basis intends to shape the students of the West Indies into an ideal UWI graduate that is, being a critical and creative thinker, being a better analyst, a problem solver, team player etc. This course is very organized, because initially it outlines and explains each week’s activities so prior preparation can be done, as well as giving the students an idea of what to expect. Although it came with challenges like any other courses, it has greatly improved my analytical and critical reading skills as well as my writing. FD14A has shone light upon many students and even though we students may gripe and cry that it is tedious and time consuming, I strongly believe that this course is needed in every way possible to not only improve us as better writers, but also for us not to think we have reached the top.…
