Back to school!!
Today is the first day of a new semester. Yesterday and the day before yesterday was 'Registration Day' so I registered yesterday. Since its a long semester I registered 5 subjects which are Pedagogy in Education, Sociology in Education, Management & Leadership in Education, Curriculum Development and Counseling in Education.I attended pedagogy class today which started at 8am. The lecturer briefed us on the course assessment and what to be expected throughout the whole course. I expected to finish class earlier today but it turned out the other way round. Well...its the 'trend' of the university to finish class way earlier than the stated period of time for every first lesson of every subject. I was 10 mins late for class today cause I only ate my breakfast 15 mins before class. That stupid cook...don't know what happened to her...cooked my food so slow. Imagine I went to the coffeeshop at 7am but only got my food at 7.45am. I nearly left the place without eating to attend class. When I was about to leave, she came with the food so just sit down and eat lar. By the time I walked into the class its already 8.10am.
I was quite surprised when I walked into the class. I didn't expect to see so many students in the class cause from what I know, there'll be only 13 of us studying pedagogy. But didn't bother much about it. After the lecturer briefed us on the subject, he asked 'What do you understand about pedagogy?' Everyone looked at him blankly. Only a few answered his question. The rest kept quiet. Then one of the students asked 'What class is this?' The lecturer was actually quite surprised by that question. He then said 'Don't you know what class you're attending?' The student said that she's supposed to attend Management & Leadership in Education class but the lecturer is talking about pedagogy instead of management and leadership. Then everyone started laughing. She attended the wrong class and so was the rest of the students. There was a change in the timetable but they were not aware of it. So the lecturer let them leave the classroom since its not their class. I didn't expect so many of them to leave the room. After everyone left, there were only the 4 of us including the lecturer. The rest of the class did not turn up cause they got the wrong timetable too. So he lectured the 3 of us for 1 1/2 hour explaining...actually summarizing the whole subject. Pedagogy is actually quite interesting if you really get to know it.
I plan to drop Counseling in Education and save it for some other semester cause I heard that its quite tough considering I'm taking 5 subjects this semester. So I'll take Innovation, Creativity and Talent instead. Will have to see the officer in-charge tomorrow about it. I think thats all for now. Will update again soon. Tata!
