Last Comment of the semester P01

First of all, thank you for being my students. It's been fun teaching you guys and really entertaining you watch you act out your everyday processes. Anyway, fun and games aside, I know some think the games are somewhat childish (and they are! You're really lucky we didn't play Simon Says, I'd have made you walk like ducks and jump like froggies), some may not even get why we did what we did, but throughout the semester, I hope you learnt something. It does not have to be 10 THINGS though that would so much BETTER and I would feel so BLESSED. It can just be one very significant something that is not necessarily academic.

So what have you learnt? It can be one thing or more. Please comment.

Again thank you, especially for helping me out with the study I am doing with my colleague. If you're lucky, or unlucky, we meet again next semester.

WELL DONE and GOOD LUCK in your coming exams

Finally, assignments are submitted, quizzes are done, presentations are over! Some of you have shown great improvement. I remember watching Asshahidallah presenting and he looked so different from his first presentation. I smiled at the difference. For those who are not so proficient yet you managed to memorize through practice - that impressed me too.

But guys, it's not enough to have 'cukup syarat' or the bare minimum. You need your audience to go back with more than a vague memory of what you have just presented. Some of you, though you learnt attention getter, didn't apply it in your presentations. Those who did really got the audience's attention. such as Amie's group. They started the presentation by highlighting memorable life experiences made the presentation more memorable. Amni's group made theirs memorable with the little sketch. And conclusion, that's important too. It's not enough to say "That's it folks!"

Anyway, mistakes are meant to make you better, so don't be afraid of making mistakes. The road to success is hard work but it's worth it. Some of you are halfway there and some of you are nearer. And guess what, you will plenty more opportunities to finetune what you have achieved so far. Remember a great presenter does not memorise, is not monotonous, is very passionate and is not trying to impress.

So next sem, what do you do? Remember and apply what you learnt this sem even it's just one thing. I always say POSITIVE anything is better than NEGATIVE nothing.
