thinking skills sure is an incredible subject. coz our lecturer is awesome!!haha...anyway, its an extra subject taken by students for AS level. coz its free, there's bout a hundred student taking the subject at the start..guess how many people is still taking it now???exactly 6=.= is thinking skills really that unbearable to study???i don't think so larh...
after the 1st few weeks, half the people drop thinking skills. argh, well, the subject seemed pointless then. after the 1st term exam, most people below grade C drop the subject..until, well, 6 of us left. but then, now we have a better lecturer, we start to understand the subject more.
ok. thinking skills have 2 parts, problem solving and argument. most people think they have to be smart, high IQ to score the subject. and guess what?its wrong. its ENGLISH you have to be good at. you have to have incredible english writing skills so you can express your answers in a right manner. yep. there's no right or wrong answer for thinking skills, just the right way of EXPRESSING your answers. and there really is much to be thought of, and all of us really have the trouble to put our thoughts into words. and vocabs, and general knowledge, and critical thinking...
yep. thinking skills in undoubtedly hard to score. unless i brush up my english, an A for the subject is 'well nigh impossible'...hee, an expression learnt from thinking skills ..so, ms. malini always tell us to 'hang in there!!' even if we found the subject hard..haha
being in the science stream again, u could guess that in class all we do is to catch up with the syllables, do pass year question, and copy notes..yep, that's what a levels is about, isn't it??100% examination oriented..lol. well, thinking skills is the ONLY single subject we have real discussions. ONLY single subject to practise our language.and to widen our perspective. seriously, its cool=] in fact, its the lesson where i learn the most in the a levels programme. so we see why taylor's college made it an compulsory subject..haha.
kay, people who want to drop thinking skills, pls don't..haha..hang in there!!
p/s: you know what?? i'm gonna blog more often from now on. coz blogging helps me think, as in to think a lot=]
til then.
chaoz~
