Week 2

It's week two, I remember how I use to complain about having two hours tutorial. But then I realized that this is my job as a student. It happens that I was so into this drama entitled "Supernatural" during this week and I was hit by the phrase that the old man in that drama said to the main character (Dean Winchester). He said "Dean, when you do something that u know u have to do, u do it with a smile, without nagging. If u don't want to do, it'simple. U can always choose to Quit". Well I can relate to that and I cannot quit.

So, week two is all about the fundamental of teaching assessment. What is the criteria of a good and bad test. There are many word that I have to remember but I decided to focus into just Validity and reliability because I think just by doing that, I can understand the whole point without having to try so hard to remember everything. I guess it's true that understanding is so much better than just trying to memorize everything.

I understand that reliable alone will not make a good quality of a test. It needs to be valid as well. And valid means we have to make sure that the test we prepare will definitely measure what it claims to measure. Wah, there is so many thing to do as a teacher. Will definitely not going to be an easy task.

This remind me to two of my lecturer, one of them just copy paste a question from a book (maybe because she/he care so much about validity and reliability but not sure if she can do it by her/himself), and one of them just copy and paste a question from the internet where I can just google the answer ( maybe because he/she does not really care about validity and reliability at all, as long as there is a test). So I think to myself, will I be that kind of teacher too?. I bet, I will cheat sometimes. Doesn't matter. As long as it it valid and reliable. Is it?. Not sure.
