Please, check my essay Many people believe that modern education give students too much information which is useless and is not going to come-in-handy in one’s life or career. Others still think that consuming a great amount of teaching material provides multifaceted development of students and drives smarter decisions. One should consider both sides of the issue to reach a conclusion. To begin with, studying a variety of different subjects gives you an opportunity to learn a lot of facts and terms and gain practical skills where it is possible for a short period of time. It makes your class work more efficient ,especially if you sleep enough and put your brain in proper circumstances. One should note here that many experts agree human brain works much faster when it absorbs too much information. Another good thing about it is that in our modern world every field of life or career somehow concerns and is bond to another area of activity. It means that being all-round person will help you to be competitive on a labor market and to get a prestigious and well-paid job. The other side of the coin is ,however, that not everyone can cope with a huge flow of information which often results in lack of sleep, stress and wasted time. Especially it concerns first-year students who are stressed from the dramatic change in their way of life, assessment system, lack of free time which, in turn, may affect their academic performance. Besides, the observations of some experts indicate that the majority of students after graduating from a university do not use the biggest part of their theoretical material on practice. To draw a conclusion one can say that both points of view on this issue worth being considered. In my opinion, teaching far too many things at universities is not the right way of getting higher education in the modern world and are rites of passage for most students. I believe that people should pay more attention to gaining practical skills and using them in their daily lives and careers.
