How much is too much?
Friday, November 13, 2009

Today i saw a friend cry in class after the tutor criticized her work. He wasn't harsh or anything, but i believe it was cause she put in a lot of effort in her work.

At the end of the day, what makes a good piece of work?
Tutors requirement? Or commercial success? Personal triumph?
Just how much is too much? And how much should we be prepared for criticism?

I guess it's anyone's take. There has been much talk about this in school lately, about syllabus issues, unfair grading and all. For me, at the end of the day, it's what you want. As i quote myself from a comment i made earlier, "if you want the grades, conform to the requirements and do your best to pick up whatever you can. if you want to take risks, be prepared for the best/worst. if you wanna get a taste or it, fuck the grades. if you just wanna use the opportunity to do what you want, fuck the grades as well. if you wanna make a change, do something about it, write in or something."

That aside, i'm really glad i took up Com 231 & 232 this sem, and i'm thankful for being in the tutorial classes i'm in. Seems that my tutorials always seem to have a lot of good work and people. It was challenging, but at the end of the day, i learn and i push together with my friends. It was a journey of self realization as well. I learnt stuff i'm ok at, bad at, good at, and stuff that i like and dislike. Grades can come later. =)
