In the midst of building tis blog, i was told by one of my fellow bloggers tt Moses ( tts my sch's director) has been reading the students blog in order to review about the block teaching scheme.
Then again, it is evident as to how the new system has drastically affect us, fellow designers.
Moses, (if u ever read tis blog) i truely appreciate the fact as to how truely concerned u r about students' welfare. and i understand as to how much u wanna help wif the students and to raise the standards of the sch. So here's my worth of feedback.
I cannot deny tt the new system does not help to allow students to be more focused on their individual subjects, however, the condition varies. Provided if u r onli doing one sub tt block. i was having two subs last block, of which one was heavy, and wad eventually happened was tt not onli me but oso my classmates were frantically rushing to meet the deadline... not to mention coping wif all the stress. i doubt if tis will help to raise the standards of our work. Lecturers even had to reduce their originally intended amount of work jus in order to help the students complete their work in time.
Due to the cramped schedule, tasks often do come in pretty short noticed. the truth is tt we hav to understand tt the lecturers are rushing wif their load of work too. honestly, having to finish assignments within days is freaking scary, worst when ur subs clashes. when tt happens, OMG !
Stress !!! Now, again, is block teaching effective? u deicide... tts jus wad i felt and experienced...
Sign, we still hav to pull through another 2 to 3 blocks i supposed ? another 3 for me though... i dunno if tt spells holidays for me...or anyone of us for tt matter... until there might even be changes in the system... hopefully not with block teaching... mean while JIA YIU !!!
