Question:
Based on your experience over the past two weeks, what are some of the principles or guidelines you can use to produce a good PDT? by the way, check this question out. Does it motivate you to study harder? http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20091010/tap-464-parents-arms-psle-mathematics-pa-231650b.html
Response:
Based on my experience over the past two weeks, some of the principles or guidelines that I can use to produce a good PDT is to be able to look at the problem statement from a different light. For example, instead of looking at things as it is directly, break it down into different components and see what the makeup of the problem statement is and then start writing our PDT based on that. In the “what we know” column, we would most probably write exactly what we see on the problem statement and not analyse anything else. For the past 2 weeks, I have learnt how to break down the problem statement into a few smaller parts till we could get to think about what the lesson would be about and how we could go about solving the problem statement.
As for the news link that we were provided with, I honestly do not really know what we were supposed to do with it. I think in terms of student motivation, it doesn’t necessary for us to set easy or difficult paper for the students per say but to provide with students the suitable amount of stress and intelligence to make sure that he/she would be motivated to go on. It is not the difficulty of a module that turns people off, it is the level of interest that a student has on that module. If a student is extremely interested to find out something deeper in the module and couldn’t do so in the module, the student would have been turned off during lessons.
Question: After your first week of A201, how do you feel about the module?
Response:
I think after today’s lesson, I realised that Chemistry isn’t as easy as it seems to be. I have always loved Chemistry and wouldn’t mind to spend additional time on it. For today’s problem statement, I thought it would be simple as what we have learnt in secondary school is merely the different methods to represent one structure of Ammonia. However, in today’s problem, we were exposed to the different structure that we would be required to use in our analysis.
I feel that it is an interesting module and that it is essential for us to look forward to doing this module since we would be having it for the next 15 weeks. Having fun in this module is one thing, but on the other hand, we would then be required to be willing to actively participate in class discussions that would help enhance our questioning skills and knowledge when we do further study.
This module is not easy, as I have mentioned but I like things that are challenging. If this module were to be too simple, I wouldn’t like to take it. However, on the other hand, if this module is challenging for me, I wouldn’t mind spending extra time and effort to find out what I do not know or understand. I wouldn’t mind to ask questions that the class may think that I’m wasting their time.
