Normally, people are enthusiastic and motivated to perform better in a
course of study when they are aware of the benefit they will get from
the study of such courses like shorthand, typewriting, audio typing,
transcription, computer operation and word processor manipulation.
Whatever be the motivate of the people for doing the course, they
should bear in mind that it is very important that the basic shorthand
and typewriting that qualifies anybody to be called a secretary, must
not be tossed to the wind.
Much has been said in recent
years about the declining standard and disappointing examination results
in shorthand while this may be some what exaggerated, lecturers are
well aware that the performance of many students fall short of their
potentials example the result of Institute of management and Technology,
Enugu declined seriously in the year 2001 academic session, due to
students inability to synthesize and retain what they had learnt in

students negative attitude to the learning of shorthand or is it
inadequate teaching of the course and lack of equipment and materials

student’s poor background in English language because it implies to the
students knowledge in the transaction from shorthand dictation.

- Vowels
