do you agree that mugging is effective in helping students do well in examinations?define mugging.?

Answer 1

Believe me, for I am a student. I never did believe in mugging. I believed in understanding the concept first, and then write in the examination, what I understood. But unfortunately, some of my friends mug up the whole text-book, and write the same words in the exam (without knowing the meaning of what they are writing). Thry would score well, but ask them to explain it, and you would get a blank stare..
I was aware that there was cut-throat competition, and I was gradually pushed as an average ranking student. I decided to give mugging a try, and stood first in class. But nevertheless, I was disgusted. Now, I understand each and every concept and don't worry much about the grades. My skill and knowledge will surely help me in the future, while mugging is kinda temporary excellence, and a knee-jerk reaction.
Mugging Definition: The act, by virtue of which each and everything is by-hearted, regardless of it's meaning and it's future consequences

Answer 2

If mugging means being attacked outside and robbed, then I could see how someone might think it could help some students but I think it would hurt more than help.

If the student had trouble concentrating because they liked their outside walk, the mugging might terrify them to stay indoors, where they might have nothing to do but study (especially if they could no longer afford a tv.) The problem would be getting the courage to walk from the library to the examination room.

However, mugging could rob the student of his money to buy books, and it could destroy his concentration. If he was afraid of getting mugged while studying, or even in the exam room itself, his concentration would be greatly diminished and he's fail.

I'd say that no, mugging is not an effective way to help students do well in their examinations.
