College Students

Introduction

The system of education in Poland has been changing for many years, but one thing remains the same compulsory subjects at college. Students complain that they cannot choose subjects they are interested in and have to spend much time on doing things that they do not really need.

First of all, if college students have the opportunity of choosing their subjects they will be more eager to attend their classes. As the result they will get better marks, which is satisfactory both for them as well as for their teachers(DinaMarie, 2008). They focus on something which can be crucial for their future career. In addition, they get more aware that there are also subjects which can be useful for them in the future and they can choose them as extracurricular. Intelligent students will attend more classes and lectures(Angelo, 2008).

They get more organized and flexible which is very important in life. The laziest and unorganized students would have more problems with passing final exams(Burchfield, 2011). One of the great controversies in the history of mathematics is the question of whether Newton or Leibniz deserves credit for the creation of calculus. In fact, both developed it independently, and though it appears that Newton finished his work first, Leibniz was the first to publish his(Altman, 2010). Over the years that followed, mathematicians and scientists would take sides along national lines: British scholars tended to support Newton's claims, and those of Germany and central Europe backed Leibniz. Even today, European mathematicians emphasize the form of calculus developed by Leibniz. ...
