Here's a gentle reminder to all Food and Nutrition students, do take note that the Coursework Part A would be due on 28-04-2008, which does not take a mathematics genius like Alison, to figure that submission of the assignment is in eight days time. And even a mathematics idiot like Wei Yeow could safely of a day. With mandeduce that we have less than 2 weeks to complete it, and by the time this post is up, we probably have only a week plus a fraction y other tests and assignments lurking in the following week, the Coursework Part A sheds a new light on the meaning of 'daunting'.For those who are still at Task Analysis or just at the fundamentals of Research and Development, I urge each and every single individual to step on the accelerator and change into second gear. Exceling in Food and Nutrition is actually a simple feat, just arduous. The coursework, in particular, doesn't require much thinking. In my opinion, it just consists of chunks and chunks of words, and perhaps even repetition is present. It emulates the river system, sometimes going around in circles, that signifies the repetition, and along its course, smaller rivers or distributries might join it, eventually all flowing into a sea or a lake. The 'body' is mainly made up of loads of information, which could be found on books or the internet, and therefore does not require much intelligence. As long as a person is hardworking, and devotes his time time to perfecting the coursework, it is with great belief that excellent scores would follow. In the world of Food and Nutrition, it is the dilligent student that would be rewarded, and not like for some other subjects; History, for instance, where a student can slack around yet obtain top marks just because of his great understanding of the it or fluent intepretation of the source.
Meanwhile, Design and Technology and Arts students, relish on the fact that you do not have such an urgent deadline to meet, nor would be subjected to any lambasting by Mrs Foo; but at least those who are in Food and Nutrition would not be irritated by sawdust in the eyes, paint on the shirts, and lastly, distracted by some distinctive feature on a teacher's face. ;)
