To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the class at first. However, I tried to do hard on it once, but in vain. What the things in our textbook is really a mess to me. I really don't know if it is my own problem, because one of my classmates taking the same class encounters the same predicament. We can hardly realize what the textbook and the professor is talking about. It is filled with abstract concepts and a lot of assumptions, and always discussing with some questions with no answer or I think that professor himself doesn't know.
What's more, we have to finish three 1000 words assignments, three group presentations, and a final presentation along with a 5000 words report in a semester. It is totally ruining my leisure time! Like now, early in the morning, I am still fighting with these assignments just because it took me so long to do the final report. In addition, I am bad at presentation. It is really a nightmare when it was my turn to do the presentation.
Due to this experience, I will select my courses more carefully next time in order to have a wonderful semester!
Dear Danny,
ReplyDeleteTaking such course as “Technology and Human Society” is certainly a nightmare. In addition, you have difficulty learning from the textbook, so taking this course is really a waste of time. But I believe you have already known how to deal with lots of assignments in a short time due to this course. Moreover, thank you for sharing this on your blog, and I will absolutely not select this course in later semesters.
Hello, Danny
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time to read your blog. I have another course I don't like, either. But yours is pretty awful. If I were you, I must regreted selecting it so much! But in an optimistic opinion, I think you can learn a lot from this course if you work hard. Your spirit is good. Because you don't give up and try your best. No matter how your presentation was, this experience is definitely expressive for you! This semester is going to end soon. You can break away and soothe yourself after several weeks. I also have to select courses carefully although I had do it before this semester. I wish you can like this course more and more or do well on it!
Dear Danny,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your blog, I finally know why you look so tired in class. You have to do a lot of homeworks. It will make you stay up late until midnight and that you can't have enough rest. Despite the fact that assignment is a very troublesome thing, also take a lot of time. In order to get a good grades, it is inevitable. I think you can do all the things well. By the way, thanks for your own experience. I will refer to your experience and select courses prudently for my next semester.
It's really crucial for us to make decision of taking a course; we're definitely not willing to have a course that seems to do no benefit on us or a course whose teacher isn't able to get student across; hard time though you may encounter, I still hope that you will do well in this course eventually.
