PBL’s…
I’ve had PBL (problem based learning) yesterday. For those with 0 idea what PBL is about, its something where you discuss a case, go back and find info, come back the next week and present. Well, I’ve got a difficult topic and with portfolios (a FARKING KIAM SIAP IN MARKS project which needs a LOT of pages of WRITING) to pass up on the same day I am suppose to present my PBL, I kinda did my PBL in a hurry ( I did find info, but I couldn’t really understand and I am running out of time).
The problems starts when it was my turn to explain..err..imagine this, u dun really understand a topic, but ur suppose to teach ur friends (8 in one PBL)…GREAT..with a lecturer looking and giving marks at the same time…The feeling SUX..I explain, then I was lost..and I stare at my friends, which stares back blindly of course…( OMFG!! WTF am I doing in that room????)…Becoz i was SO unsure about my topic, I took up lots of the time, and by the end of the PBL, not everyone has presented yet..and so..we need to come back during lunch time for another session of PBL(GREAT!). .Then it was back to class..(2 hours lecture).
I didn’t know that some people in my PBL are very not happy about second session of PBL…till I went for the class after lunch..Someone (not from my PBL room) told me that it was bcoz of me, we need a second PBL session…hmmm….who told him..??WOAH..that was when it hits me…bad things DOES travel fast..VERY VERY FAST..
As in who is the one that spread about it…I don’t know..I don’t want to know…there’s no point anyway..I am not saying its not my fault, of course..its because my topic was freaking hard, in fact , it was a PBL that i’ve spent the most time out of it..but i juz couldn’t understand it…
