"Education is not for the sake of examination only. Education is to open up the eyes." - Prof LOH K.P. DEAN’S CHAIR PROFESSORHow many professor out there emphasizes on this? And many of us actually take modules for the sake of learning and experiencing new knowledge? I believe everyone of us at some time is guilty of taking easy modules just to pull up the CAP score. That aside, although it is not my choice, I've taken numerous business modules now and so far I've enjoyed them more than I did for chem modules even though I did really badly for them. I feel that the final grade is not the sole determinant of whether you've done well for the course or not, but rather whether you've enjoyed the process and picked up something useful to apply in the real life situation. After all, practical applications always, if not, most of the time differs from what is taught within the confines of the classroom. And again I have to emphasize, I really enjoyed this semester for two reasons. First, for the first semester of my tertiary education life I don't have to do lab! Second, theories I learnt in macroeconomics and finance are applied in real life situations. I'm glad I'm able to understand what is reported in the news. Although I might have to prepare myself for a shock when exam results are released. "If you get a bad grade, it doesn't mean you are dumb. It just means that there are smarter people around." - Yin Foong |
