Let University courses be more hands-on, accounts graduate says

An accounts graduate yesterday reiterated a call made by several colleagues for University courses to become more hands-on.

“There are many students who spend a number of years at the University, know the theory inside out but are lacking in practice,” Christine Galea said during a graduation ceremony.

She called on all the faculties to make the shift towards overcoming the problem.

Luke Sammut, who graduated in tourism studies, called for smaller classes of students which, in turn, would lead to a more efficient type of teaching. “This will facilitate discussion within the classroom that, in turn, would lead to a better understanding,” he said.

The graduates are:
