After A Month...
Four weeks into the second semester, I have so many, different thoughts about the courses I'm taking this semester. I'm taking four subjects (as usual): English Language Teaching (LANGTCHG 300), Applied English Grammar (Linguist 203), Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation (EDUC 225) as my main courses and Mastering Cyberspace (COMPCI 111) as my elective. And my thoughts on these subjects?
LANGTCHG 300: The course itself is fun, but the lectures are boring and can put anyone to sleep. -.- There are two lecturers teaching the subject, but you have to sit at the front of the lecture hall to actually listen to what they're saying. Their voices are just too small. Oh, and the lecture hall isn't a real lecture hall after all. We don't have any
tutorial except for two hours lecture per week.
Linguist 203: Basically, we learned this back in our first year in IPBA, so I doubt we have major problems for this subject. And, the lectures and tutorials are interesting except for a few facts: Our lecturer tends to get off-topic when explaining something (like last week, I honestly don't know linguistic questions can lead about talking about dictionaries during lecture.) and during tutorials, his explanation sometimes make us more confused. Well, it was fun since we've learned about it before, or else it will more confusing for us.
EDUC 225: I think I have a love-hate relationship with this subject. I love the lectures and tutorials, but I really hate the assignments. Sorry Gavin for hating your lecture for our EDUC 283 last semester, but your lectures for 225 are simply interesting and easy to follow. Except you start talking about maths and all the calculations crap. I failed at being a mathematic teacher. And, yes, your example of me being extremely bad at math and good at writing hit all the right marks.
COMPSI 111: Took this course just to fill in the elective, at first. Then, the lectures are quite interesting (although they are three hours per week) and we get to sit in the computer lab for three hours to do our lab assignments. EVERY WEEK. The topics used in labs are interesting, though. Will be learning how to create a web page in this week's lab.
Overall, I love all the subjects this semester. Not to bits of course, but I really want to get good grade this semester. Last semester, I don't even care about as long as I pass.
And let me get started by finishing the 300 assignment I have to submit tomorrow. Procrastination is a bitch.
Books I have to read for three of my assignments. And half of them are still with Adlina. *is dead*

Anyways, that was one hell of an assignment. So many books to read, but so little words to write. Darn.
