First Lectures

UQ has a funny creature called the "seminar". It's a 3-hour lecture cum tutorial. And today I had 2 of these.

Seminar 1 - Qualitative Research Methods

Qualitative means NO STATISTICS!! Haha...that's the primary reason why I chose this. Research studies is compulsory in my course, but between numbers and people, of coz I go for people.

This seminar is going to be challenging. The class is made of many PHD students. They have specific research topics and are very ON about this course. Because research outcomes form the basis of their thesis lor. And they argue over the smallest things..haha....everything also need to say their view. Many of the things covered I "catch no ball". This is going to be tough.

Seminar 2 - Communication Management

I like this class much better. Classmates more approachable and come from more diverse backgrounds. It's also something that I can relate to, and likely I can use alot of examples from my work experiences. Lecturer is also more flexible on presentation methods...think lessons will be interesting with the quizes and skits.

Tomolo is data analysis class. Sigh.......

1 presentation and 1 mini-exam due in 2 weeks time. Time to get working!
