Some college freshmen find that the subjects they choose are not suitable for them. What are the causes of this? What can be done to solve the problem? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

These days, a proportion of first-year university

students

are not content with their selected fields of study.

This

essay will

initially

explain why

this

is happening, followed by some strategies which can resolve

this

issue. There are primarily two factors behind why some new tertiary pupils are finding their majors unsuitable. The first one is that they have little understanding of the subjects before making their decision. Some

students

choose interpretation as their major because different media resources they are exposed to make them believe that being an interpreter is a “cool" job.

However

, a fact they may neglect is their inability to bear the intensive training discouraging them from continuing their learning. Another point is that the

courses

are not structured well. Some might only have lectures

while

tutorials are excluded;

also

students

may have limited time to study before a new topic comes. All these will provide

students

with insufficient opportunities to digest the knowledge. To tackle

this

challenge several approaches can be adopted.

students

can conduct early research regarding the

courses

they intend to take. They can browse the internet, especially university websites to gain more information about their majors. Alternatively, they can attend the Open Day of their ideal universities during which time constructive suggestions can be given by the lecturers and professors on the spot.

Additionally

, universities should review different aspects of their

courses

on a regular basis. Teaching teams themselves can organise meetings to discuss how to improve their

courses

, and different schools can rely on

students

’ feedback as a significant source of data upon which to make changes to better cater to all

students

. In conclusion,

students

’ lack of understanding of their selected majors prior to final decisions and unreasonable course settings are the main causes of some university freshmen being unsatisfied with their

courses

.

However

, if

students

do some research on what they want to learn in advance, and meanwhile, universities evaluate their course syllabuses regularly,

this

problem can be solved effectively.
