c/work vs research, student vs lecturer
dah beberapa org tanya apsal x buat master by research terus kalau dah tau mmg kena buat phd nanti!
alasan nonie...
1.malas <- c/work pun kena study gak apa... hmmm malas nak buat proposal, ari tu masa SLAB dah buat... tapi mmg malas lah!
2.x konpiden
3.kurang disiplin... suka bertangguh... kalau c/work project/assignments byk due date nak tak nak kena buat, kalau research nie independent... mesti slow nanti nonie nie... isk
tapi alasan yg paling logic & rasanya boleh diterima pakai oleh org2 yg bertanya & nonie sendiri ialah... nonie balik nak jadik lecturer, nak ajar anak org, bukannya ajar derang nie dgn research kita jer, byk bende kita kena ajar... ada org kata plak, ala... nanti nak ngajar study jerla sendiri, cam2na pun kena gak study sendiri, bukak buku balik seblum ngajar tu... & tak semestinya kita akan dapat ajar subject yg pernah kita blaja dulu... mmgla, tapi nonie rasa lainla, study sendiri ngan study berguru nie... org pun selalu katakan, study tak berguru nie boleh sesat... so nonie rasala... dgn amik c/work nie berkembang sket knowledge kita & tak tertumpu pada bende yg kita nak buat research jer... sambil2 tu kumpul idea camna nak deliver certain2 msg pada student dgn tgk cara lecturer2 kat sini ngajar... sonok gak! kalau buat research, takde class, kurang chance nak observe cara pengajaran lecturer2 nie... nonie kenkadang masa dlm kelas boleh jer berangan "ha... kalau esok2 aku kena ajar subject nie, nak ajar camniela..." cewah, nampak sgt tak baper pay attention pada apa yg lecturer tu ajar, tapi dok perati gaya lecturer tu ngajar camna... haha, biasala sekali sekala...
masa nonie ngajar kat kolej lama dulu pun sama... dok apply2 gak gaya certain2 lecturer yg best yg pernah ngajar nonie masa undergrad dulu... yerla kita pernah jadik student gak kan, so boleh budgetla student suka what kind of delivery... i think all lecturers want their lectures to be as interesting as possible, it's just that sometimes it's not easy to ctrl peoples' attention... esp when it is a theory class & took hours... kalau practical class takpe lagi, boleh jalan2 around class check2 kerje/pc student @ class yg ader calculation, student kena alert utk mengira...
i remembered a theory class that i taught in the 1st semester of my lecturing career... i know, mmg bosan! yerla, masa tu fresh grad... so terpengaruh lagi dgn cara cam present project... skema ya masyaAllah! ramai jer student yg tido2... tapi sebab nervous & tak cukup expose lagi masa tu, tak reti nak buat camna utk attract their attention... but then Alhamdulillah, a year after that the same group of student dtg nak mintak enrol for my class... my reply was, "buat apa masuk kelas saya... awak selalu tido dulu..", "tu dulu miss... skrang masuk kelas miss sonok!" tak taula sonok coz derang boleh tido ke apa, but then after that i rarely see any student sleep during the lesson except for casses yg mmg pemalas yg tokleh dibantu tu la.. they interact more with me... eventhough it was three hours theory lesson...
ada org kata jadik lecturer nie senang jer, lagi2 plak keje k'jaan... nampak lepak jer... but then kalau betul2, i think it's quite a tough job... yerla nak ajar anak org, kepala otak kena byk idea... not only on the subjects but also on jokes or general knowledge or sometimes information which arevnot directly related to the subjects, just to make them awake & stay interested with the lesson... & at the same time try not to make a fool of urself in front of 20-30 or sometimes hundreds of people... ingat senang ke... unless maybe he/she is a born joker or something... senang sketla kot, but then, kenkadang student pun tak suka lecturer merapu 24 jam... ntahla, nonie bukan terer sgt, belum layak jadik fav lecturer esp now i'm a student plak... i need to learn more to acquire all the skills... lagipun tak cukup & tak penting pun sebnarnya jadik fav lecturer... yg penting derang nie ingat & boleh apply apa yg di ajar kan.... macam citer cikgu, pelajar & tukang kebun (Part 1) kat blog syati tuh... pinjam ek syati... hehe
so nonie rasa i've made the right move to take c/work instead of research... yerla knowing my interest & weaknesses kan... kalau org terer takpela bolehla terus amik research.. :)
most of the time i enjoyed my studies here... the subjects are very interesting! wpun kenkadang tu struggle la gak esp when it comes to speaking out in class sbb terasa intimidated dgn well-experienced classmates, tapi still, i enjoyed the lessons.... lagipun relationship ngan lecturers sumer pun best... very helpful & they are full of ideas... tak kedekut ilmu la...
one thing that i noticed bout them is that they are really passionate on the things they are doing, research & teaching... bersungguh2 sgt, explain on their interest area during the lessons that we feel that we are also into it... nonie pun tak sure nanti kalau dah jadik lecturer nanti nonie boleh se passionate tu ke tak... insyaAllah i'll try,
& lagi satu kat sini, hanya lecturer yg betul2 master in the particular area related to the subject jer yg akan mengajar subject tu, kalau kata lecturer tu akan pegi sabatikal ke, mana2 the subject would not be offered... maybela utk master level jer kot tataula, coz from my experience before this, lecturer suka2 ati disuruh ajar subject yg kenkadang derang sendiri tak sure... taula sesikit kenkadang tu, tapi kurengla... tapi like it or not, by the time masuk kelas kena taula... so maybe kurang passion la kot nak mengajar subjek tuh sbb knowledge sendiri pun kurang... tapi kalau kes kurang staff utk cover semua subjek pun susah gak... nak buat camna, tapi kalau jadi camnie tambah payah kalau dapat student plak yg mentalitinya lecturer patut tau semua benda.. so bila kita teragak2 dgn jawapan utk soklan derang, kena cop sbg lecturer tak reti... sedangkan kita sendiri pun baru nak memahirkan diri ngan subjek tuh....
so, pada2 sapa2 yg tgh jadik student tu tolongla jgn ada mentaliti gitu.... (nonie dulu masa jadik student , x pernah laks rasa lecturer tu tak pandai kalau tak reti jawab... tapi x puas ati kalau bagi alasan x munasabah...) lecturer pun manusia gak, mana nak hapal segala2 kalau dia kononnya terer sekali pun.... maybe kalau terasa lagi tahu drp lecturer tu, why don't point out bende tu dgn sopan... & lecturer pun tak bolehla jadikkan tak tau tu sbg alasan utk soh student carik sendiri (ada jer jumpa lecturer cenggini) & toklehla nak melatah kalau di ajar balik oleh student... kena open minded... peringatan kepada diri sendiri gak nie...
heh okla selamat menyambut ramadhan al-mubarak kepada semua.... kalau berbuka food yg sedap2 tu jgnla lupa nonie kat sini.... isk i'm gonna miss going to pasar ramadhan..." btw, korang posa sehari awal la ek... kitaorg kat sini masih boleh makan siang lagi ari nie... hehehe
