The dreaded word of all students has finally dawned upon me.... Exams! The whole month of November will see my mugging hard for my examinable subjects. Hmmnn... surely I should be able clear it ah..!
This is the part of any course that I have taken in the past years that really makes me feel compelled to do.... Otherwise it has always self-motivation that had enabled me to read and study subjects of my interest.
Sometimes, I really wonder whether there will a structured formal course from an academic institution would sprout out to accomodate a non-examinable format. Well, it did come about when I read about problem based learning that Republic Polytechnic offers.
I attended one of its seminar which introduced the Academic Associate position. Apparently, the polytechnic hires part-timers to conduct and facilitate its courses with students. Pays SGD300 a day for a someone to do this... Talked to some of my classmates who are doing this full-time and they tells me its not easy work...
If one day, all academic courses from Primary School all the way to the University do it in a non-examinable way... it will be the most joyous day for all students! For me, it would be too late... I don't think I shall live to see that day ah...
