So now you've accepted your offer, and now it's time to choose your subjects. We understand that subject selection can be difficult, therefore it's a good idea to attend any academic counseling or enrolling workshops offered by your school, since these will provide you with thorough information on your specific course. Read on for Good Universities Guide's top tips to get you started, along with some additions of our own. Refer to Course Guides and Handbooks The first thing to consider while selecting subjects is your course guide or handbook. This will tell you which topics are required for your degree (compulsory or core subjects) and which you can pick yourself (electives). Depending on your style of study, each course needs you to finish a set number of credit hours every study semester. Some courses may consist mostly of core subjects with limited subject selection flexibility, whilst others are more flexible and allow you to explore your interests and choose electives. In arts, linguistics, history, criminology, and these types of degrees, you can usually select a major or minor in later years of study. In highly regulated fields, such as engineering, core subjects are completed to meet industry and government accreditation requirements. This means that subject choice may be limited. Explore Subjects Related to Your Areas of Interests Depending on the format of your course, you may typically do this through electives. Some electives are taken from a specific list related to your study, while others can be picked from a wide range of disciplines offered across several universities or schools. Subject selections in certain courses may lead to a specific minor or major. To encourage you to broaden your academic horizons, several schools ask you to choose a number of courses outside your selected field of study (also known as breadth subjects). So, you may even be a computer science student learning creative arts or a linguistics student studying chemistry! This will not only expose you out of your same-old comfort zone but bring out the daring and creative side of you. Consider Prerequisites Some courses cannot be studied without previously finishing others. These are called as requirements, and they will influence the subjects you can study. Although some course organizers may prefer students to have studied a specific field in school, this may not apply in your first semester. As a first-year student, you will have access to a wide selection of introductory topics. If you want to study a certain subject in the second semester, you can complete an introduction unit in semester one. Take Others Advice but Do NOT Depend on Them There are many people around us who may have already undergone the tedious yet exhilarating process of college and choosing the “right” subject. We may often hear stories that will either leave us terrified or excited solely on the experience of the individual which can either leave us hopeful or in despair. It is important to keep in mind that every individual’s experience differs

You may be wondering what “accessibility” means. Well, it is the practice of making information, activities, and/or environments sensible, meaningful, and usable for as many people as possible. When we further extend this concept to education, it leaves us wondering and bothered as to why had this initiative not been taken sooner? As Learnosity puts it best, “Accessibility in education helps create better opportunities for learners. If learning materials are not accessible to learners, then learners’ abilities won’t be accessible to educators.” Although all students receive and respond to information in various ways, the belief that people with learning disabilities are somehow less skilled academically is a myth that has to be corrected. The loss of potential is the most visible victim of the documented failures. Students with learning disabilities are not only less likely to finish postsecondary education, but they are also less likely to find work than those who do not have a learning impairment. However, the impact of a failing educational system on the lives of individuals with special needs extends beyond academic and financial concerns. Another debilitating side effect is its social impact. A terrible school experience will affect a student's self-image as well as their view of how others may see their situation. Because special education is an undeniably complicated field, it is critical that it be appropriately resourced. Technology has emerged as a potential answer to the complicated difficulties of student diversity in an age of fast digital change. More schools are integrating technology to provide a better learning experience to their pupils, no doubt encouraged by the excitement around individual learning and capabilities. It's understandable why they'd be excited to do so. Educational technology presents a unique chance to democratize education while also relieving the strain on overworked teachers. Some children with learning difficulties, for example, may need longer time on tests. Educators can readily determine such particular factors using assessment methods. Furthermore, in terms of both test delivery and marking, they provide higher scale and speed. In education, accessibility may be regarded as a two-way mirror. On one hand, learners must have easier access to learning materials. On the other side, if learners' genuine skills are to be completely realized, instructors must have access to them. We can hope with the new advancements and changes in our educational planning and strategies, education is made more accessible to those it is unfairly put forth currently. At the very least, it should be “equal” to all in the sense that everyone should have the equal chance to be able to be assessed based on their abilities, rather than having to fit through the norms that were traditionally set.

WE BELIEVE IN HELPING LEARNERS The harrowing reality of education is the truth of how many gifted and enthusiastic students don’t have access to higher education. Even those that do are sometimes forced to fund their pursuits through loans and going into debt. Then, once they are in the higher education system, affording basic amenities needed to succeed can be difficult. Connect students to financial support Students can submit their projects Students can get backing from supporters Student’s educational pursuits can be tuition fees, supplies, school projects, etc... With these hurdles on the path to meaningful education, we are proud to do our part in helping connect students to financial support. By using the FundLearner platform, students can submit their projects and get backing from supporters Whether it be family or friends, people can donate to their progress and be updated on their work. At launch, we’re accepting any projects that deal with a student’s educational pursuits including tuition fees, supplies, school projects, travel fees etc. FundLearner is both a way for students to find funding, people to help these students and others to track their progress. EVERY DIME COUNTS We at Fundlearner are excited to use this site and initiative as a way to make education easier to access for students in the UAE. Join us along the journey and let’s do our part in helping make education more accessible than ever. FundLearner is both a way for students to find funding, people to help these students and others to track their progress.
