I cannot believe it, the second week of lectures has come to an end. Whew! This was better than I imagined. the main highlight of this week is that we had our second GDP and in this we looked at our role as students. It was interesting to see how varied our views were regarding something that to many other people may seem so obvious.
Being a student is not just about study skills. It mainly revolves around proper time management in a nutshell. This must include having fun and getting away from all the books...a bit of balance of work and play.
We also met our student representative and nobody seemed to challenge the choice. Actually, the person nominated themselves and I thought that was brave and nice.
We also had our first session of PAL and honestly that was a big success. It's kind of like having a big study group where nobody really knows what everybody else wants to know but somebody will find out and let everyone else know. Student to student learning is fantastic!! I am glad we are doing this kind of learning from each other. Who said revision was hard when all you have to do is attend a PAL session where a student whose been there done that is all but willing to spill the beans in return for a recommendation that will look good on their CV? I just might do it too (for the sake of helping others... seriously)!
