Examination malpractice by students

Educationists over time have arrived at a consensus that examination is the fool proof method of assessing the ability and knowledge of students in specific subjects. And naturally, what comes to the mind of an ordinary student when he or she hears the word “Exam” is simply reading and reading.

Some students feel happy when it is time for examination because they have studies over time and will go into the examination hall relaxed and confident in their abilities while on the other hand, some students do not like to be examined due to their lack of preparation towards examination and this brings in the spirit of examination malpractice.

An English proverb says that: He who fails to prepare, prepares to fail.” One of the reasons some students have negative attitude towards examination is due to lack of preparation as earlier mentioned, a lackadaisical attitude of not attending classes throughout the semester.

I want to use this medium to appeal to my fellow colleagues especially those in the tertiary institutions to encourage themselves by attending classes regularly and studying very hard for a brighter future.
