NERANJAN HANDAGALA - NALANDA COLLEGE
I was really lucky to be a student of Devappriya sir’s because if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have received the result I got. A/L is not about just writing a correct answer for a question, it’s about tackling the whole paper in a way to get maximum marks from what we know. For that a complete set of notes of the whole syllabus is a must, Which I did get from Devappriya sir according to the way he planned to give us those during the first few days of the class. Writing the answer is the other most important factor for taking down the paper. That differs from MCQs to Structured Essay to Essay questions. Devappriya sir pays a well balanced attention to everyone and makes us practice how to do them in the class it self. He organizes them amazingly frankly in a way some how he finds time to advise not only on A/L but on life too. Since his class is relatively small he pays attention to EVERY student with out just focussing on the brighter. Also he never skips anyone’s problem regarding subject matters, he solves them as soon as the student asks it then and there, it self. Also he covers each and every practical in the syllabus not by just explaining but also by letting students get involved in the practicals with him. Time management is the other major factor for A/L, which I was rubbish at in the beginning. But thanks to Devappriya Sir’s help I adjusted my answering methods in order to fit in to the limited time we had to complete the answer to obtain maximum marks. At the end I think what actually got me this result for Physics is because of doing what sir asked us to do and when he wanted us to do it.
