Education as a system


Education as a system

Acc to Romiszowski
“A System is an interrelation of parts”

Acc to Hodge
“ Any entity conceptual or physical that consists of independent but interrelated parts”

 Pilecki defines system as :

“Any entity composed of
v  A number of parts
v  The relationship of these parts
v  Attributes of both parts and the relationships”

A set of interrelated parts which though separate have a common purpose towards which they work Parts form a unified whole.  Each and every part is equally important is constituting the whole.

  1. The life of a student may not be perfect without getting assignments to write down. However, none of the learners will be interested to write assignments themselves. The professors ask the students to produce good quality thesis on diverse topics every now and then as a part of their studies. The majority of the students used to experience troubles with writing their tasks and thesis papers as a result of their lack of knowledge and fear of writing thesis papers. However the students cannot fall back from their responsibility to write down assignments and thesis paper. Thus, the students should make an effort to get the help of thesis writing services online. But students cannot put their faith on the essay writing services wholly.
