Classes commence
Posted in Monash College, melbourne by: LiClasses started on the 25th of January & I’ve had 1 & a half week of classes. I’m taking 5 compulsory units this trimester :
1. Learning Studies
2. Problem Solving for IT
3. Introductory Mathematics for Commerce & IT
4. Introduction to Computing Application
5. Context for IT
I really wanna pass all units so that I won’t have to retake any next trimester. Oh please!
I think my toughest subject will be No.2 Problem Solving for IT. It sorta introduces the concept of programming & the method too. Confuses me terribly as I have no background in programming.
Malaysia education system is mostly just memorize,memorize,memorize & you’ll do well in exams. This is different. No matter how much you memorize, you won’t be able to write programs. I have no logical thinking & no patience. Instead of going through it step by step, I’ll probably skip a few steps here & there. That’s so me. So, now I gotta rewire my brain!
The textbooks here cost a bomb. Damn expensive. & I have to change textbooks every 4 months. Currently using 4 textbooks for this trimester.
Here’s my timetable by the way. Monday & Tuesday are the worse! Friday is badly arranged. Nothing I can do now. Note that I have 25 hours of classes a week! That’s even double the hours of some of my university friends. Then again, they are taking only 4 units.

This is a map of the Monash Clayton campus. The red circle is the building in which I live in. The yellow circle is the college building. Can you see how far I have to walk there & back each day? Takes me between 20 minutes - 30 minutes depending on how fast/slow I walk.
Anyway, I’ve got to head to class soon. Lucky for me Wednesday’s & Thursday’s are way more relaxing. But I rather they just put the classes on Wednesday & Thursday together!
