MY FIRST DAY IMPRESSION ON DEM 612 COURSE

I thought DEM 612 class would be relatively the same with the subjects I had last summer – few and loaded. It turned out more in student number but equal in the amount of course requirements.

There are three major areas that I would like to address in my first day impression, namely: content, approach, and professor.

My impression, however, is partial as I came in late and missed the first part of the orientation. Yet, I believe I was able to catch up for the most part of the required activities of the subject.

For the subject content, I find the amount of topics to be covered overwhelming yet doable. Yet I take it as a constant for people who are in the administration profession otherwise we stick to other line of work which has nothing to do with dealing people and conditions.

I should say the approach adapted is geared towards self-propelling knowledge acquision. As the word implicates, higher education means going beyond what is prescribed. Reading one book a month I should say is something out of the ordinary for a typical working class person. Yet as administrator, it is a necessity to be few steps ahead of everybody else and engaging with management systems of the world through reading books by experts in the field. The amount of learning then lies more in the industry of the student than the professor.

I like best the integration of technology in the approach employed by the professor.  As one who is also into such approach in teaching, I totally agree in the appropriateness of its use in the course.  Couple this with the possible benchmarking of real educational institutions outside of the Philippines, I believe this subject offers one of the best trainings for administrators.

No matter how good the content and approach are, they would be nothing if the professor factor is nil in wit, creative mind, total intelligence, and humor. Impressive is the ability of the professor of DEM 612 to hold captive in awe his students for a long period. His wit gives away a kind of person whose resiliency brings excellence wherever he is and regardless of adversities. I say, that is a true administrator and educator – intuitive, innovative, and most of all, intelligently funny. That’s the DEM 612 professor.

In closing, I pretty well know I will be acquiring rich experiences and leveled-up knowledge in this course.

SCHOOL BREAK

School's over and it's time to take a break. This year, the entire school staff spent a 4-day vacation site seeing and the best of all.... THEME PARK visit!

Enchanted Kingdom... that's where the fun happened. It was good to be a child again even only for a day.

For most of the staff, it was their first time - good thing about it? 'twas a BLAST!

Thanks to Sister Aida, the  RVM sisters, and REX Publishing Co. , my publisher, for making this year's rest and recreation the BEST one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MY FINAL CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

  

The revised conceptual framework of my study. 

DONE.

Finally, I finished my thesis today. It was a lot of work but it's worth all the effort. Am looking forward to the implementation of my study. I definitely will share the result soon enough.....

MULTIPLICITY: DENDRITES EXERCISE

Now am working on chapter 4 of my research paper. I should thank my adviser for casually telling me to use mixed research method as the challenge is staggering. Yet, I like the way it is - plenty, mix, and enriching. Counting all the instruments I used.... I say 8 instruments, 5 groups of respondents .... now THAT is making my dendrites work at max. It's so interesting  going  into the  details of analyzing, interpreting, summarizing, concluding and eventually recommending something out of the study...

My next challenge => presenting my study during final defense in one frame - no more, no less.

we'll see.....
