miracle
Wow... to start off, i left class during the 1st break with some of my classmates on thurs... becus we hated SHOBA...Initialy, i didn even want to go to sch but that day gt UT ( Unnecessary Test ) so bo bian.. Den SHOBA emailed me and told me if i didn submit RJ, i'll get a 'F'.. So, i wrote a 599 word long RJ for her and she gave me a 'C'!!!
so this was the Question and This was what i wrote:
Question: Given that we have limited personal experience, we may not always have confidence in the knowledge that we acquire. Would you choose to go with what you feel or would you choose to apply that knowledge? Why?
Response: Honestly speaking, I would have to apply both strategies mentioned in different situations because not necessarily the same strategy will be effective in
different situations. However, if given a choice, i would choose to follow the way i feel.
Firstly, i will explain the statement, limited personal experience.
For example, I have learnt in problem 6 - Knowing from experience, that experience shapes us in different ways. This is because, our experiences allow us to build mental frameworks that helps us to make sense of the world. And also when we encounter a strange event or phenomenon, we use these mental frameworks to interpret the information, to make generalizations or to make predictions. So, by interpreting all these information, I must make sure that i will not repeat the same mistake. Let’s picture a situation whereby I am late for school in RP. I have already got my daily grade (-0.5) and that during that whole day, I did not really do anything so my facilitator decided to give me a C. And after everything, the grade i received was a D because i was late. From this situation, i have EXPERIENCED the consequences of being late and not doing anything to contribute to my team. So what i will do is try not to be late for class and that i must contribute to the team.
Now, how to apply this situation to the first strategy mentioned, limited personal experience . Firstly, if i am late again, the most important thing i must do is
to contribute to the team, if not i will be repeating my mistake. Secondly, i will have to write a good RJ so that i can 'save my own skin'.
Now for the second statement go with what you feel .
In RP, we are not being spoon-fed (if it's spelled like that, sorry if it's wrong) like we were in secondary school. Our facilitators play a major role in guiding us towards the final outcome, not telling us how to get there. However, sometimes we may go off course because we are going with what we feel.
Let’s take the example from two weeks ago Problem 6 - Knowing from experience. My team, Nana, Ke min, Faizal and me decided to present on disabled schools because of the problem given. In this situation, we were choosing to go with what we felt because we did not really digest the problem statement given which was that we were asked to explore the role of the father’s and the psychologist’s experience in drawing their conclusions. Fortunately, we managed to get back on track at the last 20mins. However, we did not really present what was expected from us. This is a lesson learnt, in other words, we experienced it. So, this 'experience' has become our personal experience and that we would know what to do next time.
Personally, i feel that i would usually choose to go with what we feel because, since i have limited personal experience, that knowledge there is very limited and is seldom enough to tackle the problem given therefore i would follow our intuition even though i know it is not wise but somehow i trust it more than the knowledge inside my brain.
Therefore, to sum up everything, it has to depend on the situation so that i can decide whether to choose to go with what i feel or to choose to apply that knowledge that is inside my brain. But, i would usually choose to go with what i feel as it somehow feels more trustworthy.
Quite long eh? lol at least i got a C so its better than nth xD
