Varying Activity Prevents Boredom
Implementing varying activity in class prevents me from getting bored. Playing game, group discussion and small joke really make this class easy to follow, even though I have to read reading many assingments outside class.
Moving from one classroom in Amstrong hall to the Library is another important aspect of varying activity. When I first saw this class schedule, I was wondering if I could stay in class for almost 4 hours.
note: sometimes I do not understand what is the purpose of some activity in class. I think Professor can tell me the purpose of an activity as she did when she told me 'narrowing down system when playing a card game'.

I appreciate your note, Rusdi. It would be great if, the next time you're wondering what the purpose of a particular activity may be, that you would stop me and ask just that question. As teachers, sometimes there's a tendency to think that what's clear in our own mind is clear in the mind of our students. That's something we all have to be careful of.
I also enjoyed switching classrooms. Walking outside perked me up a little bit and it was nice to get some fresh air after being inside that hot room.
If you don't understand something, you can always ask your classmates, who are nice people and always ready to help!
By the way, if you have difficulties reading all the assignments by yourself, you can ask some of us for a study group. I think studying together would be helpful for each person. If you would like to do that, you can ask me. Probably someone else would like to join too.
i think it is important for you to ask questions if you don't understand. Especially if the people teaching are actually students. That would be good feedback for them and it is an opportunity for them to learn something.
And one more thing is, that we learn best, when we can explain the subject to someone else. Thus, learning and teaching become connected, and you can have practice of teaching too. Asking questions is an important part of class participation, so don't be afraid to do that!
