Topic 1

You heard comments and maybe grievances from your senior about Critical Literacy, but what is/are your expectation (s) or hope for this subject as you are just started.

Critical literacy is the subject that well known for me as a Decomer’s. I have heard about Critical Literacy since I was in semester 3. One of my friend, which is a past senior have told me that Critical Literacy is the one of killer subject. Therefore, I keep thinking of how I will facing this subject in the next semester which is now.  

On my first day of Critical Literacy class, I was clueless at first because what is my mind blowing is not that hard enough as critical thinker. I remembered on my first class with Madam Zariati, me and my classmates  have been given a task to choose a leader as we have to pretend that we don’t know that persons. The picture shown Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler. I am the only one who choose Mahatma Gandhi as a leader because of his look. Unfortunately, nobody was agreed with me because they prefer to look at the appearance of Adolf Hitler. Since now, I have thought that this subject need more focuses in classes and you must to have a better understanding while learning this subject.

To be honest, no matter how hard this subject is. You need to keep focus when your lecturer is teaching and don’t forget to take down notes in her slides because for me, it is helpful in facing your test or quiz. My expectation for this subject is Critical Literacy is the subject can let me down and all I can do to get better score in this subject is nothing. In the reality is, you have to work hard. I genuinely agree with the stricture of Madam Zariati in teaching and marking my assignments and others. From that, I have to work harder and struggle in this subject.  

For the conclusion, I hope that this subject will still ongoing since every Decomer’s should have to improve their critical thinking in this subject. This subject strongly improving students in thinking beyond.
