We've come to the end of the road - ES2007S

This semester seemed to have zoom past in a blink of the eye, doesn't it? ):

I could recall frantically clicking around CORS website during the bidding period, trying to find for one last module to fit into my timetable and which would not 'cost' so much ( don't we hate CORS??!) when Aldrich suggested for us to take ES2007S together. We had both heard of the module in the previous semester as our group of close friends took it back then. We gathered feedback from them that although it was a demanding module which requires time and dedication (to our blogs), it was no doubt, enriching and fun. Upon further research, I also felt that ES2007S will be able to prepare me when I start job-hunting with all the resume and application letter writing practices. They also mentioned that Brad was the best tutor so advised us to choose a class under him, which we did!

This may sound cliche, but I definitely enjoyed myself during ES2007 classes. There was always something new to learn every week and I loved how the class was interactive instead of the usual boring seminar-styled lectures. Brad would make us stand up and arrange ourselves according to height, did random pairing-ups so everyone would get a chance to work with one another, give each other constructive feedback and such.. all of which were engaging and makes learning so much more fun! (:

And, who could ever forget the mock job interviews! I need to take this chance to apologise to Sarah again if I really did freak her out when Sheryl and I interviewed her. The poor girl was ignored by me the entire time! ):

However, fun aside, this module was also strapped with a heavy workload. As this module is non-examinable, it also meant that every piece of assignment that was to be handed up throughout the whole semester carried with it a significant weightage. And there was also the final proposal and presentation which we had to complete in the very limited time-span, talk about being stressed!

On a personal level, I'm really glad I took this module in the first place. Not only did I managed to learn valuable skills and tips on writing a good resume/application letter/personal statement, my presentation skills have also improved. And the amazing thing about this is that I did not just learn from Brad the man alone; I managed to learn from everyone in the class through feedback sessions! I definitely need to credit everybody for my improvements. (:

It is of my immense pleasure to have met everyone in this class and also given a chance to work with you guys. We may not have known each other for a long time but the concern you people showed for me (from my last post) really warmed my heart (: Let's meet up after the exams alright! (:
