At the beginning of this term, I was able to accomplish everything according to schedule. However, after the reading break, I found myself overwhelmed with work and school requirements. I started to feel that I wouldn’t be able to finish everything within the given academic timeframe. I consider it a positive thing that our facilitatorContinue reading “See You at the Finals!

Believe it or not, I first experienced peer assessment when I was already working, and I was the one who even created the assessment form for myself.

You can do simple push-ups, sit-ups, stretching, or jumping jacks since it is safer to exercise inside the comfort of your home than outside running or biking nowadays. However, another part of our body needs toContinue reading “What to Assess? (EDS 113 #6 – Exercise 1)”

Many have been asking why I keep studying when I already spent almost 12 years in pre-school and primary education, four years in high school, four years in college, and more years for my graduate degree. They usually ask me if I ever get tired of studying. The answer is a simple “NO.” Some mightContinue reading “LEARNING TO LEARN (EDS 113 #5 – Module 4)”

Everybody needs something. You will never find a person who will say that they don’t need anything at all. Needs are the deficiencies or gaps between a person’s actual and desired states.
