the accreditation rush

The accreditation was worse than i expected. well, i not in terms of the results, but in terms of the experiences of the students themselves.

i never thought that my class would be so worried because of that. the newsletters published were full of corrections i never anticipated. the instructors were like monsters (their fatigue made them monsters). and the whole college seemed to be at the edge of the cliff.

Well, to be honest, i really find it hard to understand them.For me, the greatest error was on their shoulders. Sorry for being so morbid, but i cant accept the fact that the students are to blame on this.

Firstly, since Sr RS is not a Journalism major, he could not monitor the newsletter activity as good as the journ majors. Then why on earth he become the intstructor-in-charge? If the college really wants to have better outcome, the instructors would have been picked very well. I do not deny Sr RS' capabilities, but come on, let us just accept the fact that he is more on communication than on journalism.

Secondly, the instructors edited the articles as if they do not care about the outcome. After one instructor edited the article the other instructor got angry because of the erroneous writing. I dont get it! indeed, we have to write scholarly, we have to apply every inch of learning we acquire in class, but we are students, and instructors are far more experienced than us. Where was the word "understanding" on that?

Last is that we are not excused on our minor subjects. If only the group in charge was excused, they could work for one whole day and the result would have been better and faster. Well, I know the reason why we are not excused though.

Lessons learned?

We, students, should not rely on instructors.The cliche "we are just students" should not be in our minds. We should work as professionals as early as today.

We should work as one and set internal conflicts aside. I dont want to elaborate on this further (hehe). cooperation is the key.

And lastly, we should bear in mind every lessons we had on our previous class. We should remember that we should learn in school and application should be inevitable.


we mat not be here on the next accrediation but this experience should not be forgotten.
