~FoRum PrEpArAtiOn~

Before we start the class, Mr Ahmad asked question for those who absence for the last week class. He asked “What is the different between secondary school and university?”

Those that give their opinion:-

Diyana said…. “In secondary school, the teacher will guide the student which is give all the example and the exercise to the student but in the university.. we have to be independent”.

Adeebah said... "We have to depend on ourself in University... In secondary school, the class is the same but in University.. the class change based on the subject".

Syawal said..."The timetable is different which is secondary school timetable is very pack but University is otherwise."

Heng Poh Xuan said.."The most clear differences is the uniform that we wear for secondary school and university."

Razif said..."Secondary school timetable is colorful based on subject but for university all the subject is in white color."

Heng Poh Chai said..."In secondary school.. we just need to struggle to get a good grade for the last final exam only but in University.. we must struggle from the start to the end which is quiz, assignment, test, lab until the final exam to make sure we get an excellent result."

In my opinion.. some of the difference can be:-

• Classes are usually bigger and there are a lot more students on campus
• Students need to be more self-directed and are expected to be more independent.
• Instruction is mainly lecture method with students taking notes
• Student progress and attendance is not closely monitored by the instructors.
• Time management and planning are critical to success
• Group projects are often required so you will have to work well with other students.
• Students are responsible from making their own study schedules and following the schedules conscientiously.

~As a University student.. we have to do the workload given in consistently. Always keep maintaining good grades to get an excellent result and have a better future.

After the discussing session, Mr Ahmad asked to discuss the forum question based from the 7 title given in Ethnic Relation context. The Ethnic Relations forum topic queries topic that had been given is:-

1. Malacca period (Politics, Economy, Social)
2. Colonial Period (Politics, Economy, Social)
3. Japanese Occupation, Communist Intermission & Malayan Union
4. Fighting for Independence, Confrontation, The formation of Malaysia
5. The Seperation of Singapore, 1969 Riot, MAGERAN
6. Unity Effort (Politics, Economy, Social & cultural)
7. ER from the aspect of: Religion, Education, Constitution & Instability

In the end of the class, we manage to finish the question form. For the next week class, we have to be prepare for the forum based on the topic given.

~That's all for today class.. It's all about team work. Our group manage to give well cooperation which everyone share their opinion and idea. No one from my group was absence to the ER class every week.=)

sweet morning...=)

3^th AUGUST 2010

Sweet morning on Tuesday…

On that day, we didn’t do a lot of activity. This is because Sir Ahmad wants us to discuss with our group members about drama that we should to present on Thursday. Drama that we should present is based on comic that we created. In these comics we should draw and create dialogue based on the topic that was given by Sir Ahmad. Our group was creating 3 comic dialogues which are about unity: social and cultural effort, economic effort and political effort. In this class, we was divided the characters to each of the group members. We also need to submit 4 comic dialogues that we do last week. We should create a dialogue comic based on our creativity about ethnic relations. In these comics, already have pictures and we just only create the dialogue based on that pictures.

29th July 2010

Last Thursday, we didn't have any activities to do in ethnic relation's class. We just had ASK n ANSWER session. I felt very nervous at that time because we need to answer the questions in English. I'm very weak in speaking. However, I'm understand why Mr. Ahmad ask us to answer in English because of our future. He wants us to practice speaking so that we'll not nervous when attending any interview to get a job. I appreciate what he had done to us but I'm still nervous during his class.

Before end the class, Mr. Ahmad gave us a interesting activity to do at hostel. We need to create 3 dialogs about economy effort, social and cultural effort and political effort. It's quite hard for us to create this 3 dialogs with suitable pictures but we'll do our best to make interesting stories. That's all from me about the last week class.
