Let's see.. one mad week has just passed by! I will update my modules and the different experiences I had been through. Felt like in secondary school but plus 100 times more stress. ha.. anyways here it is:
CAB 401 (Final yr proj) : research (Wednesday and everyday)
Stayed in school for the ENTIRE day on a day that no one would even dream of going back on - Wednesday. Supposed to meet sophia and amanda to walk around in orchard and cell for dinner but in the end I cldnlt make it. Kinda disappointed that I spent my holiday in such a pathetic way. It didnt help too when you heard about the haunted incidents at DNA lab. =( Thank God for Dear cos he stayed in school with me, being my lab slave.. haha.. thanks dear. =) However I think experiment is getting exciting as the I have transfered the seedlings over to the nutrient solutions in boiling tubes. Hopefully when I gather them back on Sun or monday there will be nodules! Dr Tham must be waiting too.
CAB 431: Animal behaviour (Mon and Thur lect)
Dr Shirley Lim as usual. Her cranky personality. She's nicer alrdy so I have not much to say about her =) Heavy practical weightages.
CCS 402: Reflections on Primary Science Practices (Mon lect, Fri tutorial)
Mr Charles Chew is a great Christian tutor. Look forward to working with him in this class. Got to talk a bit more to Amy today. Saw no one sat beside her so went behind to sit with her. Totally understand the sucky feeling of sitting alone. =)
CCM 402: Teaching and learning of Mathematics 3 (Tuesday tutorial)
Mr Eric Chan is my tutor. This person is task-oriented with no sense of humour at all. Called us to introduce ourselves and what we have learnt in the previous math modules, what we look forward to in this module. An A or B of course. Duh.. haha.. most of us just said strategies blah blah.. Praying that I will find favour with him la. Think God answered my prayer by introducing us to misconceptions students have in learning percentages during the first lesson. =)
CCE 402: Advanced strategies in the teaching of English 1 (Mon lect, Wed tutorial)
Same class as the usual people again: joanne, janice..Mdm Sally Ann Jones is an excellent tutor cos she manages to deliver effective key ideas across in 1 hour today (make up lesson). She's pretty despite being 45? 50? I slept at 3 am yesterday rushing my summaries but in the end she only asked 3 peepz in class to answer. ha.. oh well.. I was really tired yesterday. Super long day. 830 to 630 lesson, tuition 7-830 pm. rushed assignments to 3 am. But I know God has been granting strength throughout the whole day, even when I felt like lying on the table to rest for a while, he enables me to continue pressing on.
CCL 402: Advanced strategies in the teaching of social studies (Thurs tutorial)
Same class as Gham Seng. Lucky to have someone same class. ha.. but anyway we are in different groupings. First time we have a similar slot for CC modules. Anyways he had some misunderstanding with his mentor. Hope God will minister to him about his issues. We watched an inspiring clip during lecture about the power of creativity in everyday life. Think the person (Dewitt Jones) is a Christian. He quoted from the bible and all his ideas are a bit christian. Can apply in cell and everyday life.. =) Intend to download video from google. Ms Ananthi Chandra is our tutor. She started off with icebreakers and 'getting to know you' activities which warmed everyone up. Not bad for a start. =)
CED 432: Thinking skills to enhance learning (Thur lect/tutorial)
Dr Tan Ai Girl. Weird person. Talked to herself when she lectured from her powerpoint slides. She is a soft-spoken person but I know she belongs to the theoretical and brainy kind. Those that perhaps I will not perform well with. Oh ya, she suddenly stopped what she was teaching and asked us to share what had been taught. All of us were frantically trying to remember scanty details of what was being shared. Most ideas were repeated cos we really can't remember much, especially me. Haha.. so I turned my summary into a question for her, she may not be too happy about that. I dont know la. Her assignment is a little crappy but i think it is difficult. Share personal experience of learning opportunity and apply learning theories to my experience. What to write sia?
CAM 180 (General Elective) : History in Mathematics (Fri 2 -5 pm)
Dr Paul Shutler. Interesting guy who's going to lecture on the different European history in mathematics (E.g Eygptian, Archimedes, etc). Class is fairly big with LOTSA engineering students from mostly China. At the end of lesson they asked whether there would be homework. Haha.. super hardworking.
God spoke to me during one of the quiet times. 'GIVE'. Give my time, my resource, effort to people. And always be prepared to give an answer for the faith I have in Christ Jesus. In order to GIVE, I have to be deep in God. Thank you Lord. :)
