Introduction to Accounting



Reflective Journal 2

This is my first time having online test. While doing it, I was extremely very nervous since we are only given one hour to finish it even there are two attempts. My friend who already done it told me that she had to do the second attempt because the internet connection in her house is so bad thus made she failed. It made me become more afraid, till I encourage myself to start to do it. Since there are ten multiple choice questions and three essays, I started from multiple choice first with the easiest questions. After finish it, I continued with the essays. I really thankful since my essay’s questions am not as difficult as my friends :)

Microeconomics



Since in high school, economics has become my favourite subject. I was really excited every time got economics class.  Not like other subjects, even in bad condition I still attend the class with pleasure. I really like it since in my opinion; we can use our own understanding to follow the lesson. Economic lesson is only about a more detailed description of the economic activity which we often do in our daily life.

Microeconomics has already been learnt by me during high school. Actually, it really helps me to follow the lesson which is given in Taylor’s University. However, when I attended the first lecture, I was really shocked that what will I learn in here will be more specific than before. It means the microeconomics lesson which I have already got last time, is not enough to complete my study here.
Even attended tutorial class, I also did not understand with everything which is taught. It really haunts me every day. I keep thinking what will happen with my final exam later. I am really afraid that my answer which I gave during exam will not meet the requirements of the examiner. This fear has never been imagined before since it is my favourite subject. It also makes me think to give up to my study in Taylor’s University. :( 

After several weeks attending the tutorial class and meeting many friends, I can survive until now. When I don’t understand something, they will try to explain it to me in different ways which make me become easier to understand. On the other hand, besides the microeconomics which is more detail and specific, I get difficulty to follow the lesson because of the different language. Since I am from Indonesia, and always use Indonesian language then I need to work harder to understand what Ms.Marina and Mr.Baharom said. 

At the first time I am also afraid to ask something which I do not understand during tutorial class to Mr.Baharom. I do not know why, every time see him I feel so scared. Maybe since he is really firm during teach us. However, since I met him during article assignment, I knew that he is really friendly person. He is very kind to his students and also gave advice which is really helpful. And then, during tutorial he has also never been angry to us when we cannot answer the question which is given.

Knowing that so many students who are fail last semester also makes me so worry to myself. Every time I do not understand, I kept thinking how if I become part of them. I am really afraid just by imagining it. I do not want make my parents sad because of me. That’s why now I am starting to work harder than before. I promise to do a recap every time before attending the tutorial class. Even I still cannot do it now because of lazy, but I will keep trying. :)
