studying for what u dont like
-
in the modules i am taking now there are some modules which i like and some neutral and some dislike totally.
for my course, i like microbiology.
why ? i dunno. i just like it.
but for other modules like molecular genetics, i simply dont like it.
but still i have to study it.
i feel damn stressed just by trying to study for it abut i dont feel this amt of stressed when i am studying for microbiology.
dunno what to do.
i cant say i want to study certain modules and dont want to study certain modules that kind of thing.
aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh -
Look at it from another point of view..
You cannot always expect to do only the things you like, so why not change the way you view those modules you don't like? For instance, you can think and see how they might come into use in future and use that as a motivation to find out more about those topics and study them

i like aviation, but my yr dun have this course, in the end choose etcm (electronics, telecommunications, computer, mircoelectronics) in TP then specialise in computer engine cos a lot of ppl say this course gd future. I knw nuts about computer, in the end, i at least learn something which i don't know about it. n nw i juz grad from tp 6mths ago with a cert -
For the subjects that you don't really like, at least grab the essential points....Originally posted by bismarck:in the modules i am taking now there are some modules which i like and some neutral and some dislike totally.

Don't fret too much. Do you know your faculty is the next wave ot the future?
Beside, sometimes when the school ask you to study other so called "irrelevant" modules, it is to allow you to have a wider perspective of what the engineering or business world are studying right now.
In any case, molecular genetics is a very interesting subject.
Think of it this way, it is one of the newest subject to be discovered by mankind.
History of the subject is due to the discovery of DNA, so as such, it represent a quantum leap of human understanding of organic beings.
If you are really in NTU, look out next year for all the Minor subjects being offered, like Entrepreneurship, Business, Comm Studies, Computing etc.
It practically grants you an opportunity to get a minor degree in that, lucky fellow.
I am too "old bird" to be eligible to be in that.
Enjoy your studies though.

they are core subjects?
certain modules, though uninteresting, are inter-related.. and foundational.. stepping stones to other subjects.. -
in spore... u haf to follow spore education system.. pass it and u will get further.. fail it and u are nothing.
u know the fact.. whether u like it or not.. u still gotto go thru it.. -

in a way, yes.Originally posted by sillyme:they are core subjects?

because in poly, there is nothing u can fail and graduata
i hate genetics. -

Welcome to Singapore. -
Well, in SIngapore its like tt.... I haf to take all those singapore stuides modules, some arts module and some others which i dun really like them~~~ I can understand how u feel~~~ I like some of my chem modules but bcos of my other modules i dun like, now i am struggling for them.... haiz...Originally posted by bismarck:in the modules i am taking now there are some modules which i like and some neutral and some dislike totally.

Hiaz.. If you wan to go into into this school, you have to learn everything in it right?
Where got people who in Business without learning Marketing, in Electrical Engineering who never learn Transformer, AC DC, or in Computing but doesn't even know what's Fourier Series etc etc....
Each school has its needs to cover.
Anyway, alot of ppl who got their dips or degrees never end up using theirs.
Yours is the wave of the future. Do study hard cos the future is very bright for you..
FYI, world-wide investment in Biological Sciences has grown from $2.8 billions to 3.6 billions this year.
You tell me its not interesting or even worth taking a closer look? -
genetics ok mah...once u get the basic grounding its v fun...1 of my fav subjects...Originally posted by bismarck:in a way, yes.

i hate genetics.
wait till u encounter modules like bioinfomatics etc...
still hv to hang in there? no matter wat...no choice..tt's life...

sian..i think i going to fail this exam liaoz.
did a preliminary count of the amt of marks going to be deducted,slightly more than 50% gone.
mainly because the section C ( 15 marks each, 2 Q)
both of them i didnt expect them to be asked.
because i looked at past year papers. there was a trend. didnt expect today's questions.
sian...the tests during the sem i nvr pass. dunno how much marks i got for my pracs and presentation.
dunno pass or not.
think this time round i am likely to forward 2 modules.
sian...
dunno how to tell my parents...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
somebody shoot me pls! -
I also like to count my marks after the exams but I would prefer to count my marks in a worst case scenario where I will be very strict with myself so most of the time, my marks will be below 50. But most of the time I will pass.
Yea! Exams over liao! Time to enjoy and relax!!! -
exactly waht i did...Originally posted by eurofighter:I also like to count my marks after the exams but I would prefer to count my marks in a worst case scenario where I will be very strict with myself so most of the time, my marks will be below 50. But most of the time I will pass.

the second part..
i dunno whether to enjoy or what.
be happy but i afraid later fail
but worry...abit like over liaoz and got this feeling of freedom...
haiz...
now considering if i need to take supp how....
die -
i like to study nonsense..but nus dun offer such modules..
-
from what I learn in my cognitive psych class... one that you may to do apart from changing your mindset is to understand how this subject relates to what you want to do in your field that you're interested in (e.g. microbiology), your future, and yourself.. the more you can refer it to yourself you daily life in someway the less of a chore it will be and the less you will dread to study.
And not to think of it as a chore, but a challenge for you overcome to get your intended goal of getting your diploma or BA. -
