Tests tests and tests....
Každý týden, musím psat test. Genetický test, fyziologie test, a biochemie test! Jsou moc tezke a taky nesmysl! = Every week, I must write test. Genetics test, Physiology test, and biochemistry test! They are very hard and also nonsense!
a Proc jsem rikal to? (and why I said that?).... I believe that most of u will think that tests are important as:
1. It reflects the level of understandings amongst students
2. To force students to study at very beginning and keep track with what we learn
3. means of practices before the real exam
4. It is the system here and students have no rights to argue about this! hahha
yeah, it is definitely true that tests are very important for the above purposes. If I am one of the lecturers or maybe the dean of this medical school, I might give the same reasons!
But why I say the tests here are nonsense? Reasons:
1. The tests here (especially genetics and physiology tests) seem to be a language tests since the questions are hard to understand. Why? YES they are in english but a czech-english which seems to be like a direct translation of czech into english via google translate! haha
2. They ask something that is definitely out of syllabus. Maybe i can say something that we can answer only if we did saw or heard that somewhere! example: The white blood cells count in a human body may depend on the surrounding temperature and time (increases in afternoon??)
3. If we failed the tests, no credits will be given and credit test is needed towards the end... and to get credit during the credit tests are difficult.. I myself dont know why it is so hard for these czechs to give us credit do that we can sit and focus for the final exams!!!
4. Questions asked in tests has nothing to do with the final exam questions at all (i can say this because here we have the oral exams where the questions had been given earlier! - we have aorund 200 questions to prepare for the exam haha!!!)
Well, so far Alhamdulillah I passed all the tests. But just that i am not agree with the way these tests were conducted! It is ridiculous! They supposed to be something which may helps us for the final exams!!! not to make our life disastrous and crazy!
My plans then (I know it is useless if I dont plan!!!):
1. Study and focus more in all the lab practicals as professors might tell us about those crazy facts like the white blood cells stuffs during the lab sessions!
2. Prepare myself before attending the physiology labs (which I sometimes did - reason why professor think we are passive learners! I should change myself then!)
3. Just trying my best hoping ALLAH will help me in tests
4. I should start study group!! But it seems like no one are willing to... I will try to make this real! so my burden can be shared with other study group members! Thanx to my bro, Ariff for suggesting me this!
well, I think I wrote too much already haa!!! Going to have my shower now and then have light breakfast. Later continue studying genetics since i have another CRAZY genetics (maybe language) test on next Tuesday!!! and at 10 AM today I will play beach volleyball - way to put off my stress haha!!! :)
Doufam budu v poradku jako mediciny student Univerzity Karlovy v Praze, LF1 :)) I start my day with Bismillah...
Hezky den, krasny vikend, Assalamualajkum!!!
Salam ajim,I'm quite surprised with the English quality in Czech. Even though English is not their first language there, but the quality of English in higher education should be of high standard, at least to the level that can be easily understood by the students. Make it simple and sweet..:D. These are my few suggestions:
ReplyDelete1.Give feedback and comment to the lecturers /department. Usually, each subject has unit evaluation carried out by all students so that teaching quality can be improved in future.
2. Try to understand the lecture notes/ texts by the lecturers themselves. Most likely, the English / context used in their notes are similar to what's going to come out in your tests. To understand better, use other prescribed text. I'm pretty sure that Medic Students all around the world have one or two good/standard references.
3.Seek help from seniors. I'm sure that they are happy to help out with learning experiences. Diorang lagi banyak makan garam. They have had similar experiences/ difficulties to what you're having now. Never shy to ask them.
4. Group study seriously works best for everyone. Just remember that different people might have different learning styles.
5. Don't stress out. From my observation, you can take advantage of your good social and networking skills by discussing everything with your friends, lecturers and seniors.
6. Mama & ayah are always there for you, if you need shoulders to cry on..hahahaa..
7. Last but not least, just remember that Allah will never burden you with more than you can handle, insha'Allah. Have faith and strive hard. Believe in Allah and believe in yourself.
Salam.
