ChiLL Up! =)

I am still on the Kursus Asas Pengajaran course till tomorrow and it's worth to spend the 4day-talk with the amazing, inspiring speakers who had given their very best to transmit new ideas and encourage us, the new lecturers to enrich our teaching skills and techniques while teaching the students in the classroom. If i were to give a suggestion, i would say this course should be held from the first week of the particular new lecturer's day in the university. This would have helped them to be more conscious about the students' learning abilities from the very beginning despite the complaints that the failure rate in certain science subjects are rising every semester.

Throughout the course, i also learn a lot of things such as classroom management, students' learning styles, teaching pedagogy, adult education, brains knowledge and many more. Although the program was super duper fantastic, i still found myself trying very hard to keep my eyes feel awake for every session.LOL. Poor me, since school till now, i honestly say that i can't stand long lectures; my attention limit for any lecture is the first 30 mins and i usually ended up daydreaming or kicking my feet on the floor or checking the watch. hehe. Maybe my learning style is unique on its own way and if you happen to be my students, that is also the reason why i use activities more than the textbook :p

WEll, i'm sorry readers for the short long overdue updates. I promise i'll write more next time when i come back to Malaysia. And there's an interesting quotation from one of the speakers that i wanna share with you, which is:

.........
Life is a mystery. Do not try to solve it.
