Review on what I have learned in EDU 3217

The lectures and tutorials have been a wonderful and great experience to me. I enjoyed every single lesson and I am sure that I am going to miss the lectures given by Dr. Edwin and the tutorials by Ms. Kasthoori. Credit to the both of them! I had learned and gained so much from both the lectures and tutorials.

In the lectures, we had managed to complete four plays together. Many times when I have certain difficulties and challenges in understanding the play, Dr. Edwin and Ms. Kasthoori will always be there to resolve them. With the explanations given by both Dr. Edwin and Ms. Kasthoori, I was able to have a deeper understanding of the plays. I can say that without the help of Dr. Edwin and Ms. Kasthoori, I probably will have difficulties understanding the intrinsic meaning of the plays.

Apart from that, we also had numerous movies watching session. I truly enjoyed watching all the movies. We have watched Elizabeth-the Golden Age, Hamlet, Oedipus, King Lear and Streetcar Named Desire. Watching all these movies had helped me to have a clearer understanding of the play. Besides, by watching these movies, I have learned to understand the language (classic English) spoken by the characters in the play. Actually, I really enjoyed listening to the language spoken in these movies especially for Elizabeth-the Golden Age and Hamlet. I find that the language spoken is absolutely rich and compact. Every single word counts and none of the words are spoken by the characters are redundant.

Last but not least, we also had simulated teaching for weeks during tutorials. I had learned not little from my course mates' simulated teaching. Apart from that, I have gained help and guidance from remarks and comments made by Ms. Kasthoori regarding our simulated teaching.

It truly has been a pleasurable learning experience in EDU 3217.
