Terms of Reference:

As required by the Managing Director, a survey has been made by the Student Welfare Team on the writing skills of the students in ten engineering colleges in Zone 1. Findings and recommendations are included in this survey report

Procedure:

A team of thirty staff members from DEF Engineering College went to ten engineering colleges in Thiruvallur Zone which is Zone 1. A team of three staff members was sent to an engineering college. They distributed work sheets to be filled in. The students from various departments completed their work sheets and submitted to the staff members. The staff members played the role of invigilators and examiners and wrote remarks on the worksheets. The worksheet had a provision for the students to write their expectation as far as their writing skills is concerned.

Findings:

After summing up the remarks of the examiners, the following findings are arrived at:

• 50% of the students have very good command over the language.

• Sentence construction of some students is wrong.

• Subject verb agreement is not followed.

• Voice is not used properly. Passive voice is misunderstood.

• Spelling mistakes are committed even for the basic words.

• Capital letters, use of apostrophes and punctuations are wrongly used.

• Format is not followed.

Conclusion

After analyzing the remarks of the examiners and suggestions of the students, it is concluded that writing skills should be enhanced by giving constant practice. Official letter writing skills need to be enhanced for improving sustenance in jobs.

Recommendations

Writing on General topic should be encouraged and the answer scripts should be evaluated line by line with rectification of errors.

Writing passages after they are being read can be practiced to enhance writing skills

Error spotting should be taught separately to avoid grammatical errors.

Writing on technical topic should also be taught.

Official letter writing should be given importance.

Reading of many official correspondences will enhance the language command of the students.

Phrases used in official letters should be taught separately.

Handwriting should be legible.

Writing regularly will definitely better the writing skills of the students.

Survey of Academic and General Reading in English

 

Terms of Reference

On 9th January 2022, a survey was conducted among 16 overseas post-graduate students at the University of England. The purpose of the survey was to discover the reading habits in English of the students. isado.asoje eul boM lo

Procedure

The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the stu-dents to complete. The first part of the questionnaire dealt with the type of reading and its frequency. The second section was concerned with newspapers: the type of reading material read and those that were read first.

Findings

From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In the first section 81% of the students regularly read academic books while 44% regularly read academic journals. Nothing else is read regularly or often by 40% or more of the students.

The following comments can be made about the reading of newspapers, magazines and fiction. 75% sometimes read regional or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of fiction, 62% sometimes read general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily newspapers. On the other hand, 37% never read Sunday newspapers and 31% never read fiction.

In the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own country in newspapers and 56% read this first. 94% read international news,

25% read this first. 81% read about Britain and look at radio and TV information. The only other item that is usually read by more than 50% of the students is current affairs (read In astota aul boM by 56%).

Conclusion

If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as follows. Overseas students presumably have little time for general reading: most of their reading time is spent on books and journals on their own subject. Outside their studies, apart from reading news about their own country, interna-tional news, and news about Britain, they probably spend most time watching TV and listening to the radio.

Terms of Reference

A questionnaire was prepared to study the mask wearing behavior and beliefs to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. The customers of the Med Plus stores at Kolathur completed the questionnaire. All the questionnaires were collected and analysed.

Findings

The vast majority-almost 90 percent-of respondents reported that they had worn a food no mask or face covering the last time they went out in public to an indoor space.

brisqe Among those who answered that they had not worn a mask the last time they went out in public, one-third indicated that they would wear masks if they were provided for free when entering a store (Question 2).

These responses suggest that simple interventions, such as providing masks for free at store entrances, may prove sufficient to nudge some but not all individuals to change behavior.

We asked consumers about how likely they were to wear a mask in various situations. For each setting, respondents chose from among the following options: "Extremely unlikely," "Unlikely," "Likely," "Extremely Likely," or "No plans to go."

Conclusion: 75% of the customers to the Med Plus Stores are health conscious and they are afraid of the pandemic. 20% of the customers follow the guidelines of the government but individually they do not have much fear of pandemic. 5% of the customers believe that there is so much of hype about covid 19 and there is no such virus spread and it is after all a flu.

Recommendations:

If the masks are worn by all and vaccinations are made compulsory at the same time across the world, the whole spread of virus everywhere can be curtailed to a great extent.

Severe steps should be followed by all countries of the world simultaneously to stop infection caused by corona virus.

Terms of Reference

It was instructed to conduct a study on the negative effects of internet facilities provide by the institute.

Procedure: The data for the report was collected by interviews with wardens, Mess Managers and the Chief of Information Processing Centre. Also, the medical records of the students were collected from the Office of the Chief Medical Officer.

Findings: A preliminary look into the medical records show that about 75% of the students owning a computer and regular users of the personal computers have complained Dr. R. J. Sinha, about some physical problems or the other during the past one year. CMO told me that these were symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a deadly disease that affects many computer users all over the globe. He also explained that these were due to excessive time spent on computers, improper sitting posture and lack of physical exercise. The students work throughout night without taking rest or without having proper sleep.

Academic Performance: There is a decline in the academic standards. Most of the students make improper use of the internet facility provided by the college. The students watch movies or use internet for chatting. They listen to music always. Many students got hooked to the virtual world.

Food Habits: The food habits of the students have become a cause of concern. After the starting of computer centre, the attendance for meals has gone down considerably. The students use junk food while browsing on the internet.

Recommendations: The amount of time spent by the students on computers and internet should be fixed at a certain time for certain hours viz for five hours.

Undesirable websites should be blocked by the security network of the Institute.

Declaration

I hope that this report will give you insight into the nature of the problem and also its possible solutions. All the information given above is true to the best of my knowledge.
