Ground Rules

Assalamualaikum.

Lama x update kan. La ni kebizian tiada berpenghujung. Sekarang busy dengan classes, conference preparation and kerja - kerja datang dari langit. Hehehe.

Hari ini contohnya dapat kerja dari langit yang banyak buat hati nak marah. Biasala, siapa suka last minutes kerja kan. Apatah lagi di zaman kebizian ini.

Kisahnya pagi tadi tahu kena terlibat utk event ptg ni. Menyirap abisan sebab dh plan petang karang dan dah janji dgn students nak buat kelas ganti sebab next week kena gi bengkel. Betapa susahnya nak cari slot dan kelas kosong sekali kena cancel. Huhu.

Tapi Alhamdulillah cuba juga bagi commitment.

Ground rules? Actually dapat complains from few shared lecturers regarding our new students are having difficulties to adjust their attitudes as a diploma student. So tadi kita buat aktiviti setting ground rules dan sesi membebel how to perform better in college setting.

Senang cerita ni I nak share one activity.

Senang je aktiviti ni tapi impact boleh tahan kuat. Memula bahagikan students kepada beberapa kumpulan kecil. Td I bahagikan kepada 3 groups yang mana setiap group consists of 4 students. At first I buat sedikit intro dengan perkenalkan dorang rahsia pelajar - pelajar cemerlang. Then I mintak in group dorang discuss what are the ground rules to be a successful student. Lepas tu dorang tampal senarai tersebut. Then I mintak sorang - sorang baca dan tick on the list rules that they think personally the best to lure themselves as a good student. After that, I asked them to share with the rest of the class what rule get the highest tick and list them on the whiteboard.

So nak tahu apa yang dorang setuju as the ground rules? Here is the list:

1. Menepati masa
(Eveyone agrees. Yet most of them came late for this activity. I have to start late from schedule)

2.  No last minute study

3.  Belajar kena ada jenaka. Tak strict.
 (I tanya semua lecturer korang sem ni strict ke? Memasing sengih.)

4. Tidur awal.
(Ni pon jadi ground rules! I tanya malam semalam siapa tidur lewat. Semua angkat tangan. I tanya seorang, jawabnya lepas subuh baru tidur. What?)

5. Duduk dalam kelas dengan posisi yang betul.
(Rare kan? Apapun dorang decide macam ni. nanti I nak round kelas dorang!)

6. No gadget.
(Ini I suka. Tahu ground rule utk berjaya tu jangan main gadget time blaja tp tetap juga buat.)

7. Respect your lecturers and your friends

8. Banyak buat latihan.
(Buat ke tidak?)

9. Ilmu mesti dikongsi

Then I bagi 1 piece of small paper. I suruh dorang salin dan simpan baik - baik ground rules ni. Mesti bawak ke kelas selalu.

After all I conclude, to be a successful student, you need to sacrifice a lot. Hold and practice your ground rules. I am not the one who decide there rules. You are the one who decide the rules so hold them tight.

Doa saya korang boleh berubah dan fokus pada pembelajaran. As promised, I'll evalute your performance later.

So kawan2, apa kata korang?
