Principle of Banking Finance lecturer- Jonathan Peh.. He tries hard to teach and i find him quite reliable to my standard but may not be reliable to other people's standard. Apparently, i heard from my Micro classmate who was taught by him last year couldn't understand his teaching at all. It seem that my reading on finance books aid me a lot. He tried to talk a lot about real-life investment and tried to articule terminlogy. I liked and appreciate it. My passion is there to learn all those terminlogy.
Microeconomics Lecturer- Mark Harris.. Fantastic lecture with unique teaching style. Many people may not appreciate his teaching style but i do despite of his speaking accent. He brought me greater challenge and quite commited to help me in some areas. Somehow he is not open-minded as Patrick but he is quite approachable and taking his initative to approach me if i have any problem because i never took foundation unit, Introduction to Economics(exempted). He even bother to type additional informations from Introduction to Economics on his lecture notes. One thing i learnt from him which i never knew is that in UK unversities, you will not be given a lecture note and you are on your own setting up your own notes! FWAH! I really love this challenge but too bad!
Principle of Accounting- Ms Chu Mui Kim...She talk very clear and loud enough to get her message across to my ears so easily. Having learnt Accounting for so many years, she just get straight to the point teaching theory and making things more interesting. I like that and i learnt theory well. It is true that i am best in practical but not in theory part. I enjoyed her first lesson plus i am quite surprised to see few DMS classmates studying in the same class as me!
Corporate Finance- Dr Johnny Tan... Quite private guy but great communicator with powerful voice. He keep on reminding the class the biggest mistake which any student commonly make. I learnt a lot of new things.
I feel that i have to study consistently to catch up the things on time. Such neglence till few months before examin will make you feel lost in no time. Microeconomics is taking a lot of my time to study. Therefore, i decide to blog once a week if possible. I love learning new topics regarding Hicks and Slutsky principle!!! I think it is better to follow lecturers who made such analysis on examination and know subjects very well. Like Mark Harris!!!!!!!
I made few friends in UOL course because most of students come from different courses and different years. Therefore, it is not easy to make friend immediately.
I don't make friends who are like Jason. No need to find best students and make friends just to leech their knowledge especially when you have your limbs and brain to study.
It was triple coincidence to see Daniel Tan, James, and Patrick within 30 minutes in a day! Clementi Bookstore suddenly revoke the policy to offer free plastic transparent book covers upon purchase of textbooks and I feel that there is no more benefit going there other than some textbooks offering at lower price than SIM Popular bookstore.
When i was studying for DMS examination last month, i happened to read thread in online forum about flaw on Unisim's 4th university. Someone suggest: ,"can sue misrepresentation"(roughly like this). Another nick came in and gave one long post rebuking this person why we cannot sue Unisim for misrepresentation. I am totally impressed with the usage of the key law codes which i was learning for examination. I was blown by this comment! Too bad, I couldn't write beautifully as much as he did during my Business Law exam. I love writing formally than informally!!!!
