Term 1 was a very fruitful yet demanding term as we learnt on the topic of chemistry. Chemistry was extremely confusing to everyone at first since there were so many new names and terms to get familiar with. The concept itself (an example would be chemical bonding), is very hard to teach and therefore students like ourselves have to spent much time and effort understanding and learning various different concept from scratch. However I have to compliment the teachers for their creativity of transforming online lessons to become sort of an enrichment activity to further allow us to understand and learn chemistry. A good example would be that we made use of online lessons to create a periodic table with generally complete information for the first 20 elements on a vanguard sheet of paper. Not only did this helped us to understand the concepts of protons and electrons and neutrons and reserach how they are related to each other, we also killed two birds with one stone as we got to briefly memorize the first 20 elements of the periodic table.
However, I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed with my results for the test of the term because I only got a B4. I reflected deeply on what was the cause of the disappointing results and I realised that I have been taking the term test and subject too easy, and also have not been studying enough. Afterall, it was the term when we just got back from the long and overly-relaxing end of year holidays and I guess I have turned lazy. I told myself at the end of the term to take this positively and treat it as a wake-up call, such that I MUST work many times harder for the following terms to improve, since this subject has been my best all along till now.
