Need more time

Today, during the HW102 tutorial, I suddenly felt the shivers I had when I was doing the report for my FYP. It was almost like that time, due to the time constraints, and a 'demanding' lecturer with a poorly done report, the felt of rush for time was scary.

Just now, during the tutorial, we were supposed to have a draft of the proposal for a research assignment so that the tutor and peers could comment, etc. Even though the lecturer did not get a chance to come to my group and many others, we knew that we need to amend our proposal. Yet we don't have the time to meet up much and we got to email our next draft to the lecturer asap so that we could amend in time to submit next Tuesday.

HW102 is a killer module. Not because of quiz, etc. There are 4 assignments and mainly group work. Other than this module, there are 2 other module with assignment too. All these assignments need lots of readings. Readings of research articles which is something not many people can tahan without falling asleep.

Furthermore, there are 4 modules with 5 quizzes and 1 quiz for 1 of the module must not have more than 5% failure in the whole cohort. Otherwise, another quiz will be administered.

The tutorials in this semester was also quite different from year 1. The lecturers expected more participation. For BS202, the lecturer even called student to the front to present the answer to the whole class and his questions are very argumentative type and need strong support to justify your answer. It was something I am very poor with.

How I wish I had more time. I hate it when time is so limited.
