Hand injury--Special Request :(


Hello the first day of recess week! I went to UHC this morning to request for special needs cos of my hand injury. I must really be thankful of the lecturers, all of them are so helpful! Feel so loved actually, when they replied and helped me up, I mean they must have quite a lot of students, yet they are still so nice and bother to help me, thanks :)

This doctor at UHC wrote to the Registrar's Office and I think she's a little scary. And she kind of scolded me for rushing for the bus and being so careless. I know my mistake now, lesson learned. :) That's an expensive lecture, I think, it actually affect quite a lot, like how my revision speed is x0.5 now, how I can't play ErHu and how probably my finals (and eventually, grades) will be affected. Haix, whatever it is, this is just fate, i guess. Accept it and live with it.

In a way, it gave me a chance to use my left hand more? Well, let my right hand that have been holding the pens to take a break ya? 自我安慰。

I'm suppose to type my critique in 2hrs using the computer and finish my MA1505 paper in 2.5hrs using my left hand to write. Argh stressed. I don't know whether I can type or write fast enough with my left hand (i'm actually practicing typing now xD ). Hopefully, I get to write with my Right hand by finals! Going for check-up this Wednesday, I'm hopeful they allow me to remove the splint so that I can use my right hand. ^^

Kays. Time shall be used to it's fullest now since I'm already at a disadvantage, LOL! Ok, bye bye bye bye!

Oh gosh, it's like the last day of the second last week of Sem 1! This is really freaking fast! Time really flies. I was doing the NUS student feedback system just now and because I'm in a rather ok mood, everyone get positive comments  unless they really cmi luh. So as not to waste my 1hr for doing this survey, I shall just write down what I wrote, it serves as a reflection too, I guess.

Weakness: No webcast for this module.
Strength: Rather interesting.
Very engaging and she made the lectures lively and interesting with recent events. Her ppt slides are colourful and the pictures included are good for us to visualise the questions. She provides consultation too and welcome students to ask question during breaks and after lecture.
The PowerPoint slides she used for teaching is a little different from the notes we have so sometimes I'm not able to find which slides she is teaching. The border used for the ppt slides made the words smaller when printed out.

Strengths: Webcast available
Weaknesses: lecture notes hard to understand, too little examples of question included in the lecture notes for some topics
Lecturer
 He drew diagrams (3d) to help us understand and visualise.
improvements: Show more examples.
 TA
The tutorial's solution slide he made was easy to understand, easier to understand than the standard solution uploaded in ivle. He will answer any questions you ask, approachable.
He can probably slow down the pace of teaching and explain slowly for all the questions.

Ah sorry I'm lazy to copy n paste the rest~
