The sch has started for 1 week here in Aston.
Just wanna write down how I feel...... Let me say sth abt the modules first.
Strategic Management: A final year module and it's project-oriented. I really apprecitate that I will have a chance to work with some local & international students. Although I am looking forward to it, I am not confident at all. I didn't study the pre-requisite and I just have the knowlegde in mgt that I learned in year one. People in this modules seems competent and smart. And the lecturer has strong accent (i guess he is from Greece) so I am afraid that I can't catch him. Market Research: I hope I will like it as I luv dealing with numbers rather than writing essay. The lecturer is quite nice.
International Business Environment: It's quite different from wut I expected. The 1st lecture is about economics, monopoly, privitisation....I think I can managed to survive the module but I dun really fancy them. However, I do fancy the lecturer. His english is gd and he is so presentable. He is just like a cartoon scholar. Auditing and Professional Ethics: This is the 4th lecture that I had this week but it's the one that talking abt wt I am familiar with. No longer a mgt/mkt course. Somehow, I reckon that it's a right choice for me to transfer to PAC. The lecturer seems nice but I can just understand him for abt 80%.
Organisational Context of Management Accounting: The lecturer is awesome! I like her way of teaching though I feel sleepy in the friday morning class.Again, this is an accounting module so I have a greater sense of belonging to the module. However, there is lots of reading and I have to analyse a lot in this module. You know, I really dun like thinking deeply like a scholar. Marketing Management: Finally I dropped the Advanced Spreadsheet System and replaced it by this module. Well.....basically marketing is not my cup of tea but I have no choice. I have to do a project in this module and it's like the one I did for the Citibank banking course. Of course, this is a more serious one. I really hope that I can learn sth from doing project. I hope I will find marketing interesting..........I hope....
The learning & teaching format here is just different from that in HK. I am not used to it but I am trying to overcome it. I really dun like writing essays! I feel like multiple choices and short questions! However, I have to write essays in the exams for every modules. My english is not gd at all. Can I tackle them???? Who said it's relaxing to study in the UK??? How come I feel pressure at the very beginning of the sch term???
I am always thinking abt my purposes for coming here these few days. What do I want to get??? I dun wanna think too much abt acadamics. I just need a pass. But, I dun wanna waste a year. I feel like getting sth durable back. I hope to improve wtever skills and most importantly, English!
Can I???
A bit confused now but I believe that time will help! |
