This study aims at exploring and examining the causes of teacher's favoritism and its effects on the university students. Quantitative tools are applied to collect data for the study and to check its reliability. The results of the data reveal that the teachers favor the students on the basis of gender, race, area, similar political ideology and family/blood relation. The study also indicates that a teacher's favoritism in the class affects boldness, mutual trust and respects between students and teacher which results in the student's struggle for favoritism instead of studies and academic achievements. Moreover, the students may opt for leaving the institute in which favoritism exists. The study also shows that both male and female students have the same opinions regarding different factors and effects of favoritism. The study concludes that the students' flair, potential, abilities and academic achievements should be emphasized as essential criteria for testing and evaluating the students' academic performance. It will, further, compel the students to focus on their studies, rather than on gaining teacher's favor.

This work explores how data can influence the design of logotypes and how they can convey information. The authors use the University of Coimbra, in Portugal, as a case study to develop data-driven logotypes for its faculties and, subsequently, for its students. The proposed logotypes are influenced by the current number of students in each faculty, the number of male and female students, and the nationality of the students. The resulting logotypes are able to portray the diversity of students in each faculty. The authors also test this design approach in the creation of logotypes for the students according to their academic information, namely the course and number of credits done. The resulting logotypes are able to adapt to the current students, evolving over time with the departure of students and admission of new ones.

The question of where students sit in a classroom has been widely studied under different approaches since the beginning of the 20th century. In this study, the data related to the seating location of the students in the computer-aided design practice lecture at the university were recorded and arranged, to analyse their seating preferences, their consistency throughout the course and their relationship with several factors related to academic performance, class attendance, and punctuality. In general, it was observed that, students are reluctant to seat on the first row, and that the most punctual students chose to occupy the places in the first rows, closer to the lecturer (r = 0.35, p = 0.015), although this had no impact on academic performance. While the following was indeed correlated with the attendance rate: those students who attended the most class achieved a better academic performance which was reflected in the final mark (r = 0.38, p = 0.007). No difference was observed in any aspect between male and female students.

Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness experienced by an individual regarding his/her future-oriented tasks, where an individual feels apprehension regarding the worse happening which may not actually happen. The correlates of anxiety refer to the factors which lead towards the feelings of worry, whereby the social correlates of anxiety are the social factors which may lead towards anxiety. The current study was designed to investigate the social correlates of anxiety among university students. A total of 758 students from the University of Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were taken as a sample of the study including 442 male and 316 female students from all the disciplines of the stated university from its final year all masters programs. A proportionate sample of 30% from both male and female students was taken and the data were collected through the use of self-report four point liker scale inventory. The social correlates of anxiety among university students were divided into three broad categories including family (parents), friends and teachers. Data were collected, tabulated and analyzed for the stated correlates of anxiety among university students which revealed that all of the three social correlates of anxiety prevailed among male students. Finally, suggestions were made and recommendations were presented for minimizing the severity of anxiety correlates among university students.

Universities world over mostly base their decisions to admit their new students on the applicant’s pre-university academic results. However, there is yet no concrete evidence that the students’ pre-university academic accolades determine their performances at university level. In this article, we explored the findings of earlier studies that examined the relationships between entry grades and the academic performance of university students. The study was undertaken to collate the literature on the relationships between the students’ entry grades and their university academic performance in order to validate earlier assertions, if any, as well as to identify opportunities for further research in this field. During the study, we carried out a systematic review of 59 articles that we drew from different online electronic databases including, among others, the Free Scientific Publication, the Worldwide Science.org, and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The majority of these reviewed studies were drawn from America and Europe. Only a few of them were conducted in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Of the 59 reviewed articles, only 53 of them met our inclusion criteria and our key findings showed, among others, that out of the 53 reviewed articles, 26, 4 and 13 of them revealed the existence of positive, negative, and mixed correlations respectively between the entry grades and the academic performance of university students. The remaining 10 articles, however, did not reveal any significant correlations between the two variables; instead, they alluded to the existence of difference in these relationships between male and female students; thus, suggesting for the need for affirmative action schemes. Overall, the study revealed that there is yet no consensus over whether pre-university academic performances of students predict their performances at university level; thus, indicating the need for further research in this field.

Objective The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused considerable public health problems. Departing from the case of COVID-19, this paper aims to not only find out the psychological impacts of the changes in universities’ educational programs on undergraduate students in Turkey but also make a scientific contribution to determining what kinds of supports can be given to university students in other possible social catastrophes that could take place in any future time. Material- Methods 1117 university students over the age of 17 from 23 universities  took part in this study by completing the online questionnaire we prepared on the Internet. The relationship between university students’ stress and anxiety levels and their age, gender and class year were examined. Result While average BAI scores of male students were 11.56, female students’ average BAI scores were 16.65. Average STAI-1 points of male and female students were 46,71 and 49,04, respectively. As a result, it was found that there were significant differences between BAI and STAI-1 scores of male and female students.(p<0.05) Conclusion ''Our study found that more than two/three of the  university students suffered from anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 outbreak.'. In this regard, it can said that university students should learn to deal with such mental and emotional problems as stress, anxiety and fear, which more likely require psychological and physical effort, by taking necessary measures during important social catastrophes such as Covid-19 outbreak.
