Week 9: Peer Evaluation

Praising & Criticising

This week's class, Mr Ezzam asked us to praise, criticise and rate our classmate's blogs. When we first started out with praising one of our classmate, it felt really good. But after that, we had to criticise and suggest whose blog is the worst... It didn't feel good at all because personally, I think everyone's blog is different, unique and good in their own way. Having the power to grade somebody is kinda scary... I feel that it's a very huge responsibility too. In life, we'll definitely get criticised, it's just how we choose to handle or accept it so that we can improve. Being too harsh when giving a criticism is not good too, we must make sure not to cross the line so that we won't hurt people's feeling. Once in awhile, getting criticism is good. It'll help you get stronger and learn from your own mistakes. I think this peer evaluation helped us a lot on where we should improve on so that we can all polish up our blogs.

Comments and Reviews

Every one of us had to judge our classmate's blog and list down 3 good and bad things about it. And we needed to evaluate group 3: Athilah, Xuan Qin and Edward. For the best out of the 3 of them, we chose Athilah because her blog has more of the content and is more detailed. And for the worst, it is Edward because most of his posts are not posted up yet and his photo of the week are all taken from the internet, we all agreed that we don't think that it is allowed as everyone in the class took our own pictures and posted it.

Photo Of The Week

I'm so grateful to be able to look at this view every single day when I'm leaving the house. I can even see the fireworks whenever there's some special occasion/event! Most of the time when I feel stressed out while doing my work, I'll always take a break, stare out of my window and take a deep breath. School have been so hectic with the amount of work I have to do... :( Okay anyway, there is perks of staying at such high floor, like the view and it is very windy but I'm always worried that "What if there's an earthquake?", "How will I be able to run down the never ending flight of stairs?". I shouldn't overthink too much because Singapore is such a safe country.
