last friday, the class decided that the final project would be an exhibit. this would be done at the end of the semester. it would be the result of all the things we learned for the whole semester. i realized that even if it was announced as early as now, we can't really do it yet because we haven't learned everything yet. starting it now means we rely on our own understanding. it's like we're saying that we don't need to listen in class in order to create an exhibit. so, we're going to do it after learning what we need to learn. but, when i saw the schedule, at the end of the sem we have to prepare for our workshop, which takes a lot of preparation, and our case study, which takes time because we have to coordinate with another person. the only logical thing to do is to multitask, which is the most unproductive thing anyone could do.
this is the first semester where requirements pile up all from the same subject. it's the only semester i've had where i literally don't have a break. there's no room to breathe. instead of resting my brain, it goes on worrying about the other 5 requirements that i have to finish. it would have been better if requirements were done in class and not brought home. i calculated the workload for ct11 and it summed up to 10units. 7units for 7hours of lecture per week, and 3units for an unlimited number of hours of lab done at home. i have an impression that projects were required for the sake of producing an output. learning has become the last priority. there is a tendency to rely on stock knowledge because of the lack of preparation time. i really wish that the number of activities were reduced to only the essentials. not every topic deserves to have a major output.
