Oh my God~ after 10 years returning to study life is really a big task for me especially my memory not as good as old days.
U life is what other people said discussion is the main point for you must contribute your ideas about the subject/topic instead of spoon feed by the tutor (no lecture for us!).
Firstly, I really dislike English Across Time and Space as this is one thing I don't like during my old studies time--history. But luckily my tutor is good in explaining about this subject especially he used current issues as examples to apply to the topic. He also teach us the technic of answering exam question during discussion session. I can say that 2 hours tutorial for this subject definitely is not enough as there are a lot of things we can discuss about even tough only 2 topics involve. We can't even discuss about the assignment for this subject which the due date on 14th next month.
Second, critical reading is not a problem for me as myself do like this subject because it teach me HOW to read or maybe can say the correct ways of reading. This skill can apply on any other things involve reading skills. She may not be as good as my english history's tutor but she willing to share information and knowledge about the course that I took for this semester. Some more, she's a bit fierce too. Haha...
Lastly, ODL learning skills a bit boring as the tutor only quickly scan through the topic 1 & 2 by pin point the sub topic have been appeared in the exam papers. So, next tutorial I better choose the last seat for surfing other websites.....^^
