Question 1: Critical Literacy
First of all, when I heard about Critical Literacy, I was both worried and assured. Because during semester 3, we learned Introduction To Tertiary Learning (ITTL). So, some of my seniors discussed this course with me and my friends. They said that semester 4 would be really busy and a lot of students might have a problem with Critical Literacy. It is important for us to manage our times and pointer. I was worried when I heard about that. However, I immediately feel a bit reassured when they told us that if we can understand the concept of ITTL, it will be easier for us. I was glad when they told me and my friend about that.
I did struggle a lot from semester 1 to get a high pointer. I tried my best to manage my time, so, I get to rest in between the stressful assignments. It was tough but I manage. Now, I am in semester 4. Everything change a bit. I always have a problem with mass lecture and unfortunately, for Critical Literacy, there is a mass lecture. So, I really struggle with learning because I really have a short attention span and easily distracted when with a lot of people. But, I will try my best to focus on the mass lecture as much as I can.
My expectation for this course is I will be able to analyse any articles with critical thinking skills without any problem. I will be able to understand ‘heavy’ or ‘uninteresting’ topics and being able to give my own critical thinking is what I want. However, I know to acquire that I have to very hard.
I hope I also will be able to learn and focus on this course and acquire valuable skills for my future. This will be a great asset for me and also advantages during any interview or works. I also hope that I will be able to pass this course with flying colours and make people around me proud.
