With the conclusion of my accounting paper yesterday, my 1st semester of poly life... is officially over! Both sad and happy, in various ways. happy, cause i don't have to see some tutors which i really hate, and perhaps, a few classmates? sad because, just when the class rapport was beginning to gel together, next term, theres no way the bulk of the class will be together, due to class rotation policy. kinda regrettable, but i guess we will get together even in the next term, for some movies or something.
Brief summary of my entire 1st semester.
Introduction to Financial accounting.
Called my POA friend a noob, for accounting was merely pluses and minuses, before entering this course. realised that although it is indeed, plus and minus only, there was a slight different complexion altogether for this module. the lecturer for this module was crap, at least in my opinion, and its timing was 3-4 on a friday. not the best time for conducive learning for me. my tutor was pretty alright, as in rather good. she was patient, and could relate to us to a regardable extent. overall, i kinda enjoyed this module, except that i dont pay attention in class nor in lectures... leading to my current state. =(
Microeconmics.
Personally, the subject i take most interest in, cause of the great linkage to the real world, and concepts that explain why does this thing happen. its like relearning english all over again, in a different light that is. the lecturers was also shitty, personally i hate lectures... so ya. and the tutor was totally horrible. her first statement, in going to our first lesson, although we all were quiet,
"If you all don't wanna study, its okay, its your marks not mine. You get a A, my pay dont rise, you fail, my pay dont drop."
nice introductory statement. =) and it got worse... till almost the whole class hates her. ALMOST. overall, this module i liked the most, and even with a fcked up tutor and lecturer, i believe i will do the best in this subject, cause i like it.
Business Communication
Speeches. Reports. Meetings. typical managerial stuff. pretty much sums up this course, more like a english module in my honest opinion, but whatever. it was refreshing, taking time away from conventional mugging papers, to doing reports, and speeches. the tutor was very good too! didnt want to piss her off in any way, not like i like to piss any teacher off, unless they gl me. =) overall, this course was average, not too good, but not negative.
Business statistics
Maths? Probability? Tricks? nah, dosen't suit my style. mugging 1 night in advance for this kind of papers, lead u to certain damnation, which is apparent among some of my frens, and me. but whatever man. i like maths, though those chapters are not my pet subjects, i love doing maths too. so i kinda enjoyed this module, with the exception of the low marks i receive =X. the tutor was interesting too, not the best of tutors in the sense that he clarifies the answers, but he makes it a point to go thru tutorials, so i kinda absorb from that too. overall, this course is good! the best in comparing my personal preference of subject, and the interest the teacher garners.
IT for business
first impression, what a waste of time, and what a waste of time it is. the tutor was good, i wouldnt dispute that, but the lecturers was downright boring. first term, they gave us a PBL project, very extensive on workload, and honestly, my group and I just didn't gel. 3 girls and 1 guy, coupled with the fact that the girls aint very open-minded, makes me feel out of place. but whatever. they were hardworking, much more compared to those jack-asses guys, so looking for grades, this was probably the group to go. but i wouldnt say i enjoyed the duration, just the final project marks. exams was also a joke. i didnt study for the 1st term, and i got 86/100. really bloody joke. overall for this module. Teacher good, Marks good, others, a waste of time.
but to say the least, i learnt a very valuable lesson from ITB. :)
Creativity and applied thinking skills.
a waste of time. gay teacher, pretty much summarises this shit. but to say the least, i kinda enjoyed this course group work the most.. even though it is 4 girls 2 guys, but they are very friendly, and socialable, so its really more fun than any other group work i had.
Sports and Wellness
sports = fun! but flag football is kinda boring. touch rugby played football style, without the flow of the game... much rather touch rugby =|. but the ppl there was cool!
Lastly! IM STILL A HUMAN! ~!
