When the Biosemiotics Prof issued such a warning, it should not be taken lightly..."Grading Assessment:
Please be aware that this is a reading-intensive, discussion based, seminar-style class. Continuous Assessment thus constitutes the majority of your final grade. Therefore: If you are not comfortable with, or do not intend on, actively participating in Class Discussion both in-class daily as well as on IVLE weekly, you should consider withdrawing from this module now, or resign yourself to a grade absolutely no higher than B –."I so want to drop this module... but there are 2 reasons I can't. Damn.Firstly, I really like the content that we'll be going through in class cos there's a great deal of philosophical understanding on the (communicative) signs used in biology. Like how an insect knows it's in danger, what does a particular behavior of an organism means to another organism, and more importantly, how do they KNOW... Undoubtedly, it's by far the most challenging module I've taken, with the exception of my writing module - multidisciplinary perspectives of the 'mind' - which was taught by the SAME Prof! But I know this is going to be much demanding...Secondly, even if I want to sacrifice a great learning experience to save my CAP, I CAN'T drop the module cos I got it through the Pre-allocation Exercise and it's stated that we can't drop pre-allocated modules unless there're a timetable clashes with pre-allocated major/core modules.So, I'm basically stuck in the module... Which means I can't slack if I dun want a B-.. Which means I must speak up in class.. Which means.. Argh!! This is so so BAD...I was just printing out my notes for Multivariable Calculus and everything looks so foreign to me.. AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA....I hope all these is a dream... Everything will be fine when I wake up... Or maybe it's just the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL jitters...
