Ooohhh, You want to know my opinion about this course?
for the first three weeks, I was trying to give out my focus 100% to what Mr. Yap Sau Bin lecture in front of the class.
Yeayyy.. 100% auto-focus.
My first impression about this class is we all gonna learn about the cultures like Kadazan and Murut. While the media in 'Media Culture" stands for their cultural stuff as the dances, songs their language and others.
After a while, i've found out that this class is about the media culture in our society nowaday. Anyway i've defined my personal definition of media culture in the report submitted not so long ago..
The next three weeks, the enjoyable parts started. We started to understand that media culture is a part of our life. The best is when we started to use E-theatre as our lecture class, so comfortable, relaxing and sometime we can sleep, Lol.
The next three weeks, we turned out to be more serious as Mr Yap Sau Bin bought a Sarawak documentary producer to show us something. That day, we knew the dark side of the media culture in Malaysia.
Mdm Helena, i think she is so kind while lecturing us.. She lecture our lesson straigh to the point, unlike mr Yap Sau Bin. He usually will walks around and tell us some stories first.
And now, the class is almost over, I shall miss this relaxing class...
Not only you don't understand what Mr. Yap Sau Bin said, I also don't understand at first. But after doing a little bit of research, I'm widen my thinking about the media culture. The moment that I really enjoy when there was a guest lecturer that give a talk about the culture of the media in Malaysia. About the assignment, I enjoy more doing through blog rather than written assignment because we can do it anywhere, anytime. Moreover, it eco-friendly where we doesn't need to print it on the paper. About the lecturers, both of them, Mr. Yap Sau Bin and Mdm Helena, are good enough for us. Mr. Yap Sau Bin always gave us extra information while Mdm Helena will explain it straight to the point, where I think its better. To be honest, I slept once in the class..but not during the lecturer give lecture..it when Mdm Helena show the documentary..I fall asleep because I was too tired and I want to say sorry to Mdm Helena because I slept on your class that day, "I'm so sorry Mdm Helena"
ReplyDeletethe uncle in the first pic is scary..
ReplyDeletebtw.. for me i thought this class would be like how we relate the culture of the humans with media., and just like some basics stuff.. but yeah.. i was wrong.. this subject is deeper than i thought.. i was excited cuz mr. yap is teaching us.. he is my former advisor which i never met before :/
about the first half of the semester.. it was hard adapting new words.. and mr yap always confuse us with his manipulation of words.. i think i did okay on the assignment 1.. but still confused abt it.. same goes to the second half of it.. it is a simple and 'lepak' style if class..
from this subj i learn many new things on whats happening to us.. opens my mind looking on different perspective.. n finding the meaning beyond what we see.. this subject output is not only for assignments purpose but it is for lifetime.. TQ MADAM HELENA N MR YAP :)
Farah, I know right~
ReplyDeletefor me, he is the walking type lecture. He is dangerous to those who sleeps in the class!
