| Remarks : | The discussions we had with students after the exams taught us that the most important reason why students fail is because they have not started studying since the beginning of the year. It is since then that they need to read systematically the handbooks and understand every sentence, get used to the terminology and learn to handle the concepts.The students must get the latest edition of the handbooks which have been written for them. They shouldnt confuse them with the summaries that the students association distributes under its own | ||
