aLL aBoUt tHe TEST !!!

26/9/2007 (Wednesday)
Filling up the attendance form for the test, I wonder if this is a test or an exam…
A sense of unknown fear rises and conquers me from nowhere. God, I have to face this again – TEST!!!

My hands shake and my head turns almost blank when I look into the questions. Will I be able to pass this paper? Will I be able to answer according to the requirements of the questions?

Tones and tones of the unanswerable questions flash through my mind when I crack my head to choose between the four, two questions to be answered. Gosh, what a HOTs’ paper with all the deep-thought-required answers. Herm…No wonder, throughout this course, critical and creative thinking skills are among the most important skills to be developed, as Prof and the facilitators constantly stress on these pertinent skills—either through their comments posted in blogs or through the daily communications during the class, as well as in the forum.

Now that the importance for mastering and polishing these skills have manifested themselves in this very test, I should be thankful to all the work done and comments from Prof, as well as Ms. Ng and Ms. Chin in pushing me towards developing my critical and creative thinking skills (especially about the comment asking me to reflect on my process regarding the completion of the IWB assignment based on the HOTs in Bloom Taxonomy by Ms. Ng. Also, luckily, I have given a reply to her comments in my blog before the test. This really helps. Hehe... Thanks again!).

Anyway, the two hours pass like nobody business; too rush, too fast, too without a sense of pity and mercy… I have struggled much to finish the two questions within the given time frame. Hands acne and fingers pain, I bear them and continue to the very last minute until our dear facilitator, Ms. Chin commanded us to stop for the time is finished.

Well, is all over now, with my shaking hands writing down about 9 pages of answers for the first and second question, I shall be thankful to be able to do so, though I’m really not sure if I’m meeting the requirements for the questions. No matter how, I wish I have done a good job and I pray for the markers’ mercy and kindness in allocating the marks when reading my paper. Do you hear my wish, dear Prof.? Do you hear my hope, dear Ms. Ng? And, do you hear my will, dear Ms. Chin? I do hope you all do (^p^).

Anyway, looking at the answer sheets being collected by Ms. Chin, I’m sort of putting down a burden now since the test is over and this course is almost at its end…

Just, Good Luck to all in the TEST as well as for the MARKS!
