While learning Systems of Railway Management, difficulties arise in understanding of a variety of different terminologies. Most part of those terms we just learn by heart without understanding of their true meaning. We have difficulties with studying a plan of a station. This is where we have to understand how to arrange train’s arrival and departure. The subject on its own is not difficult, various things can be memorised by applying a real life example to them. For example, traffic light, we often meet them in our everyday life when traveling by auto transport. To easily memorise a definition I always try to associate with the corresponding real life example. This helps me to undersand and memorise the term. If I can not find a correspong real life example, then I seek help from my teacher. But if even teacher’s explanations are not sufficient for me, I tend to learn the term by heart. I think that introduction of visual examples will enchance understanding of the subject.
