/^t/Studying at the university usually occupies a long span of time. Students learn at a different pace. Academic lecturers find it hard to combine the diverse needs of their students. For some what is lectured to them is no longer interesting enough whereas others are not satisfied with the speed and the amount of the material to be covered during a course. Individual study provides a solution to this problem. Students who choose this form of education usually waste no time. They know exactly how much time to devote to a particular subject, how and when to repeat a part that needs further consolidation so that there shouldn't be any gap in the knowledge they have already gained, and the progress be clearly seen. A lot of research has already been carried out into the field of university and individual study. Although a number of people may not agree with the results, they undoubtedly speak for the superiority of the latter one. Students learning on their own turn out to be more committed, more thorough and, therefore better prepared.
