Well, yea, that's what I get from my friends reading, which I can't blame them because my posts are mostly on football reviews...So now, to add a bit of variety to my blog, I'll write about something else then.
Oh, before moving on, I am serving Nuffnang's ads!!! All thanks to Caren, *link provided at the side so do visit her site and click on the ads to make her happier ;)*. So, help me to click and check out the ads as well yea, so instead of making one person happy, now you'll be making two person happier!!! Thanks yea!
First time writing about my life in university here, can't say I love it but certainly can't say I hate it as well. Ironic eh? Maybe I had it too easy during my time in CIMP? Well, not saying that CIMP did not prepare me well for university, just that for me personally, the gap between the standard back in CIMP and university now is quite far apart. Having said that, CIMP prepared me well in some other expect and by far the most important expect for me would be the exposure of presentations. However, the quality of work and hours of lecturer are a bit short.
Now, I am only taking 5 subjects - namely English, Study Skills, Foundations of Business, Business Computing and Literature...
English, is just plain boring and the lecturer did not really help much is brightening up the class, so yea, gotta live with this sadly.
As for Study Skills, in which I initially thought would be the most boring of classes this semester actually turned out to be the one that I actually enjoyed. Sadly, its over now, only lasted for 4 and a half weeks. But, it did not just went quietly, it left us with assignments to be completed and an exam paper to sit for =.=.
Next up, FOB, not bad for me, but scoring is a problem. Like I said, the quality of work is high, so still struggling to come up with answer more than two pages and that's with my books and notes open right in front of me...
Furthermore, its Business Computing...This, is a KILLER!!! The ironic thing is that, just like study skills, I actually thought that this would be the easier subjects around but how wrong can I be? Our mid term exam would cover all 7 chapters, well, if that's not enough, covering all 7 chapters take up alot of time and what's worse is that the lecturer expect us to be well equipped with the current news and the past examples to support our answers. No doubt this would really train us but a little more help needed maybe? Is this what are installed for us in the next two years?
Lastly, literature. Well, firstly I do not really understand why in a business course we need to take literature? When writing reports or proposals I do not think that we need to include any writing techniques or any poems? I thought its just straight to the point and selling your strengths while covering your weaknesses? But, that's the fact, we have to sit for it. The lecturer herself is very good but her being new, she is struggling to keep the class in order...
Well, that's a bit of my struggles in university but I got a bunch of great classmates so its ain't so bad ;). Just learnt quite an important term in Bahasa Indonesia...yes, I am talking about you Leni, in Bahasa Indonesia, the word 'belanja' which in Malay would mean spend or treat someone to a meal but its not for them, it means shopping...So, be careful when you use this word next time yea. So, instead, say 'traktir'. Signing off~
