Introduction
While pursuing various courses at universities the students apart from gaining knowledge
regarding their subjects also get prepared for their success in career so that they can grow and

subjects based on their importance so that i could give sufficient time to each of the subject. This
also helped me in paying equal attention to all the subjects that were taught to us so that i could
score good marks in each of the subjects. Various theories helped in developing as a learner like
