Course Evaluation = Semester Ending Soon ...

Nearing the end of the semester, every student will have to submit his/her course evaluation before he/she can register for next semester’s modules. Thus, whenever it is time for me to do the course evaluation, it symbolizes that my semester is ending soon and I will have the opportunity to feedback on my lecturers and tutors.

My first semester experience with course evaluation was disastrous and until now, it is still resonating in my head. I am unaware that I am supposed to do the course evaluation. I am still struggling to determine whether I have read it and forgot about it or inadequate instructions or reminders for me. Well, if Unisim did step up reminders like now to remind students, I will not forget about it. I remembered that, I did not receive so many notifications like this semester to remind me to do my course evaluation. I cannot help but to say that things may slip out of your mind easily when you are busy. So many things to remember every single day, thus reminders are greatly appreciated.

For my part, I do not want to go through the hassle to appeal so that I can register the modules for the next semester just because I failed to do my course evaluation. Thus, I will indicate all the important dates on my calendar for me to stay on schedule.

Because I did not register early for my modules that time and one of the year 1 module was unavailable. I had to choose a year 2 module to replace it. Wah, I must say it was damn stressful at that time. Maybe I am a year 1 student and all of a sudden, I am doing a year 2 semester 2 module. There were three assignments for this module and all were project-based, finding group mates was not a feat, where I had to face rejection and I had to be impervious to rejection. However, I managed to join a group but I could sense that they are kind but quite unwillingly. I think that this is quite understandable, thus I did not blame them. As time goes by, maybe because of tacit understandings, they began to acknowledge my contributions to the group. During the last lesson, they even asked me to approach them if I ever encountered any problems for my future modules. Which made me very much appreciated and comforted. I am still glad that I joined this group as they are extremely hardworking and always on the move because of that we were able to achieve good grades.
