Assalamualaikum. Can you hear that? (Scream) That's what freedom sounds like.
Well, it is almost the end of the semester. I can hear the birds chirping, the tigers roaring, the cows mooing, the cats meowing, the students screaming. All of them are celebrating. For what? Yes, of course. It is because they are all celebrating, graduating from the course - the one and only, Critical Literacy. I am so glad that Critical Literacy has come to its end, after months of struggling. To me, this course is extremely difficult to digest. While I was learning Critical Literacy, it was as if I have constipation 24/7. It is that hard to digest, to brain.
I cannot express my happiness enough. I am over the top happy that this critical course has come to its finish line! I feel like screaming out loud, as loud as everyone in this world can hear. Alright, I was exaggerating much. Although, it was quite true though. I really feel like screaming. Truthfully, it was like a tonne of Critical Literacy's weight have left both of my shoulders. They were sitting there for four months, and that is it. This is the time for you to fly. Find your freedom, while we enjoy ours.
Throughout studying this particular course, I have gained absolutely countless of experiences, including happy and sad moments. Although studying Critical Literacy felt like being tortured all the way, but I have learned so much throughout learning the course. I have learned how to do critical thinking. It is via the use of both brains. You cannot conduct critical thinking, if you do not use both of your left and right brain. I have learned that it is important to have premises or evidences to support our stance and our beliefs. We cannot simply say that we are right, when we clearly do not have any evidence to support us. Everything that we claim should be supported by evidences or premises. We cannot foolishly say something without thinking. Throughout learning this course, I have had hard times. But, at the end of the day, I have come up with a quote, "Life is like kitkat, you have to break it to eat it,".
As for myself, this is clearly based on my experiences, I would say that Critical Literacy was a hardcore subject. It knocked our heads out, it pulled our hair out and it definitely took our breath away - far, far away. It was not like love at first sight. When I first encountered CL, it was more like, "I don't want to know you any further, you're way out of my league,". Knowing CL was like knowing someone that clearly would pull the trigger towards our face. I am not CL's lover, nor its enemy. But, I can say that the chemistry just was not there. Critical Literacy was indeed hardcore and difficult at its best. I do not want to express more of my comments about this course, because this post would probably appear like a hate expression letter. I do not want to say that I hate Critical Literacy, but I just did not see eye to eye with it. I do not hate the course because I see the benefits that it carries. I see them, clearly. Therefore, I accept it or among muslims we say, redha.
I suggest this course to be eliminated from Diploma in English Communication's list of courses. I think Critical Literacy should not be taught at Diploma level. On the contrary, I do not think it should be taught at Degree level, as well. I am sorry for saying this, but honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I am hoping for this course to be vanished, thrown far away from KPMIM. I do not want our juniors to face the hardship like we did. I do not want them to suffer like we did. Please eliminate this course immediately. This subject would probably defect one's result. I am afraid the DECOM students' overall results will drop down because of this particular subject. I am urging for this subject to be terminated from DECOM students' lives. I hope you will consider my suggestions. This is for the future. This is for DECOM's future. Let's change for the better. We can do it. We can make the world become a better place to live in, if we try to understand each other, tolerate with each other and help each other. Where there's a will, there's a way, inshaAllah.
Thanks for the memories, Critical Literacy. I would say, today is a good day to die hard. Adios!
