Pressure and stress from heavy academic workloads can negatively impact young people in several ways:
- It can make it difficult for them to concentrate on anything other than their studies.
- It can contribute to health problems like sleeplessness, headaches, and loss of appetite.
- It can negatively impact family life by leaving young people with little time to spend with family.
Young people who are under pressure to perform well in their studies experience negative effects. They have little free time due to large amounts of homework and assignments. This stress and pressure can cause them to have difficulty concentrating, health issues like sleeplessness and loss of appetite, and neglect their family relationships due to their busy schedules. The document argues that too much academic pressure on young people can lead to these detrimental effects and that time management and relaxation are important to avoid the harm of stress.
The document discusses several cognitive biases and social phenomena:
- Social facilitation is the tendency to perform better on simple tasks when observed by others due to increased arousal and motivation. The document gives an example of someone running faster in a race than when alone in training.
- Extrinsic motivation refers to motivation from external rewards like fame or medals. The document discusses someone being motivated to win first place for these rewards.
- Downward counterfactual thinking is imagining a better alternative outcome to events. The document provides an example of someone thinking they did their best after losing a race.
- Post-decision dissonance is changing perceptions to make a decision seem better after it is made. An example discusses de

It has advanced features like automated flood gates, air quality monitoring, emergency vehicles, and operates in different modes depending on rainfall levels to control stormwater flow and manage traffic.
This document describes a closed traverse survey conducted by a group of students. It includes an introduction to traversing, the equipment used (theodolite, tripod, leveling rods), field data collection methods, calculations of angular errors, distances, azimuths, latitudes and departures, and station coordinates. The group adjusted their results based on the Compass Rule correction and achieved an accuracy of 1:1088 for the closed traverse. They discussed lessons learned from conducting the fieldwork.
The document provides details of a leveling fieldwork assignment, including definitions of leveling terms, descriptions of leveling equipment used, collected field data, and results. The objectives were to understand leveling methods and definitions. Field data was collected at 11 points using 10 setups and reduced using height of collimation and rise/fall methods. The error of closure was within the acceptable range, so no rework was needed. Adjustment tables were made using the formula for correction per setup.
