Where is the attitude?



Facing fresh students is not easy. I shoud have reserved heart to anticipate any things they make. Ok.. let me giving you in detail.

Last Saturday i (and my colleagues) were just teaching them how to search scientific articles online. Since we were at the computer lab, while i was explaining how to, a student was caught by my colleagues playing a game. Seems to me she was stubbing my heart... i was hurt...

Ok I just invite you to imagine... in the middle of afternoon while my throat was unsalivated (fasting time... you know...) and she did that? OMG I had lost my mind...... Then i was asking her to leave the room if she had problem with the subjects.... (un)fortunately, she kept staying....

Two students were also absent. Instead of letting them got nothing in this unit of study, i was asking them meeting me for explaining the reasons. 
This Monday, they both met me. One gave health issue as the reason while other said she had other class. Cmon girl... my class is compulsery while yours was elective. You have to take responsibility on it, girl.... 

Aside of this, you showed no regrets on your face..... not even said sorry for the mistake you have been made.... I cant understand you... Is that because of your freshness in a uni? Damn it... Once again... i have lost my control... 

Sorry, i know it was wrong... but i am just a human....  

God... i know YOU are chalenging me in this holly month. But i am begging YOU to give me those strengths for facing those kind issues.

 I was dragging that pic from here.

that's challenging, for sure!
why didn't you state the ground rule at the beginning of your session and repeat it in each session if necessary, be?
in particular case, you might want to invite the students to talk in personal, state what you want from them and vice versa.

tapi ah, teori itu mah!
marah aja, be!
hajjjaaaarrrr!!!

Never loose control ... of yourself and the situation. I know that feeling 'cause I gave classes for five years ... never got big deals to solve, but sometimes we had to play a little hard!

Bakhrian said...

indeed .... i should play harder...

Woii! Gile bener.. Posting belum kelar kok judul udah muncul. Ada-ada saja Pak Be. Ha..ha..

Agree with marshmallow. Buat peraturan Pak Be di awal session. Main internet memang bikin jahil. Mereka bisa surfing ke mana saja. Bisa juga kan ada yang tertarik dengan game.

Tapi gak papa lah, Pak Be. Namanya juga pas lagi kerongkongan kering. Manusiawi banget.

iuh, untungnya dirimu yang yang pimpin kelas hari itu ya. kalo aku, tu 3 mahasiswa (1 yang maen, 2 yang gak masuk) sudah gak akan lulus blok 1, sudah pasti.
kalo anna yang pimpin: acara hari itu pasti dibatalkan, suruh belajar sendiri dan kumpulin tugas.
but hey, kau memang orang yang paling tidak emosional di antara kru (sesudah pak agung), jadi mungkin memang sudah petunjuk Tuhan dirimu jadi kepala bagian.

@suhadinet: sudah pa dibikin kontrak kuliah... tapi mungkin karena mahasiswa baru... makanya jadi begitu....

@superlazy: menjengkelkan tuh... sayangnya cara-cara seperti itu malah tidak bikin tertarik... hahahaha

@mave: ente belum tahu di dalamnya bu... mendidih.... hahahaa

Eni said...

Hmm..biasa seh B, kalo kaya gitu
Gak usah ambil hati..cuma kasih pelajaran aja

kalo aku biar gak terlalu sakit hati, bikin self kontrak terus kalo gak memenuhi, teman-temannya yang ngasih hukuman

ok...terlindung dari masalah yang bisa bawa pusing, dan kadang-kadang mahasiswa ternyata memberikan hukuman yang jauh lebih kejam dibandingkan dosennya, karena mereka juga merasa terganggu
