Sian.. As you'all know I have been posted to RP/Biomedical Science, I not very sure will I adapt the PBL(Problem Based Learning) style in RP.

In Secondary School, the method of teaching is by pumping students with all those text-book information, and at the end of the month we'll have class test/exam.

While RP teaches student using the PBL method, the grade is base of daily performance and some tests.

I am not very sure will I adapt to the new PBL environment.. I am very comfortable with memorizing hugh amount 'model answer' provided to me when I am in Secondary School.

How? How? Sad I scared I'll die inside there leh.. I still wanna go Local Uni leh.

ChoCoChips SG

you got 3 years what, so definitely can adapt to it la, so don’t worry.

R3SsH|n SG

then you just need to memorise all the model answers and apply them to the questions lor.. Laughing

Darkness_hacker99 SG

What if cannot adapt? It's like running a marathon with one leg when you have two.

ChoCoChips SG

sure can la. if cannot, den um, GEE GEE lo. Laughing

Darkness_hacker99 SG

What's GEE GEE? Shocked

ChoCoChips SG

GG. Laughing

The days of absorbing and keeping knowledge is over.
From now on it will be acquiring knowledge and applying it.
Daily think how you can use what you have learnt.
You are learning to do something.
Do it. With what you have learnt.
Simple.

ChoCoChips SG

aiya dun worry la, maybe it's not as bad as u think?

and u try to be active in class lo since ur grades are based on daily performance.

Dear Readers,

He is memorizing. Don't you think by memorizing you will learn? Maybe we should correct him, the correct way of learning, not by memorizing, but by learning

Darkness_hacker99 SG

Eh hudax, memorizing is also a way of learning leh.

What are you trying to say?
The correct way of learning is by learning?? Rolling Eyes

allentyb SG

i really feel like correct your sentence Embarassed

i think your intended message is, the correct way of learning, is by understanding, not just memorizing the textwork

Darkness_hacker99 SG

The problem is here. I couldn't memorize much things in class de.. It's when I go home and slowly think and then I memorize de.

Darkness_hacker99 SG

The thing is ar.. in sec sch I understand by memorizing..

But in RP ar.. It's another way round; Understand by finding the answer your own.

allentyb SG

most of the time

the textbook knows me, and i don't know the textwork

i always do last min studying

spot question Embarassed

hiphop2009 SG

u noe, your parents will NOT like PBL, coz no homework one, u only do work in school and go home shake legs....if ur parents v concerned abt u de u sure will have a hard time explaining to ur parents....trust me....some parents i noe kbkp abt RP'S style of learning, esp year one, coz parents only BELIEVE in homework n memorising.....

well, dun worry dude! u have ample time to adapt. of course dey will teach u n drill u with the necessary skills to solve a problem (dey will give u any problem, be it maths, sci. anything) den dey will give u juz one or two guidelines in solving, den u are on ur own to solve it, by using the internet, or any resources! (u can make use of sgforum and ask us Wink )

yup..take it naturally....u can do it~

Darkness_hacker99 SG

I guess this is the best reply here..

Actually I also belongs to the majority group which believe in homework and memorizing.

Haiz.. I just let out a long and loud sssiiiggggghhh~~~~!

Time will tell. Thx everyone who reply here.. haiz..~

Darkness_hacker99 SG
