People say university life is the best time in a person's life. Well, I agree that statement but to a certain extent. A few more weeks that will be the end of my second semester in university. Within these two semesters here, I learnt a lot new things in my life. I'm not talking about time management or do my own laundry myself, but I'm talking about people.
Because in secondary schools we don't do assignments, to be more specific on what I'm trying to say, group assignments. So, we never doubt on one's real character. Here in university, we have assignments, and a lot of it. Some assignments are to be done in groups. Well, that's what I want to share with you, that I dislike group assignments. Why do I say so? People say it's better to have more human (more brain power) to finish an assignment, but to me, of all the group assignments, most of the work I did alone. Though my groupmates had provided informations from the internet to me, but those weren't the information I needed. So, practically I can say that most of my friends here never put in full efforts in doing the assignments with me.
Today in English class, my lecturer saw my work (not assignment) with my roommate's were the same. It was true that I photocopied a set for my roommate because he asked me to do so. I was reluctant to reject him because I can't think of an excuse to do so. Fortunately my lecturer knows our character so she knew that it was my work, and of course I can get an F grade if I were to take a lying test. I felt guilty too because last semester my English lecturer told me that I should not allow anyone to see my assignment and I repeated my mistake again this semester, if fact, it isn't the first time in this semester that I allowed my friends to see my work. I was afraid to.... you know... 'share' my work with them. I scare I would hurt their feelings or maybe they will think that I'm stingy.
You know, I'm very unsatisfy with this university. I'm unsatisfy with the management here, some lecturers here and most of the students here. Before I chose to enter any university, I always wanted to have a UK degree. In this university however, they offer dual degree, that is we'll get a local cert and a UK cert. However, I was thinking if offering a UK cert is so important, how come the number if students enrolling in universities without UK cert (Eg: UTAR, UCSI) is much more than the university here? And the students in those universities are much more brilliant than here. How do I compare? By looking at how many students got scholarships. I agree with people saying that usually the rich people doesn't like to study, this explains why the students in UTAR and UCSI are much better students than here.
My hunch might not be right but I hope I made a good conclusion. After my foundation I would definitely leave this university even though many asked me to stay. I hope next semester there won't be many group assignments. I feel that it is very unfair for me because my groupmates don't have to contribute anything but they can get marks for it. And I'm afraid to report to the lecturer... Oh God, please help me, I don't know what to do.....
