I just had my Infocomm Test. I was surpised at how simple the test was after doing it. I expected more difficult questions to come out in the exams. In the last two terms, the tests set by the Infocomm Studies teacher, Mr Kent have always been very difficult and I often get undesirable marks. I was also worried about my Infocomm Studies after Term 2 and have vowed to work harder for Infocomm Studies in Term 3. Term 3's Infocomm Studies was taught by Mr Koh, the person who set up the school's EMB if I am not wrong. I have noticed that the way he taught us is different from Mr Kent. He will patiently go through every new topic step by step and when we do not understand anything, he will explain and clear our doubts. He would also let us do a quiz, assignment or project after every lesson to let us recap what we have learnt and apply them. We would then be able to absorb more things and score better in the test. A few days before the Infocomm Studies test, I have already started revising and preparing for the test. I tried to familiarise myself with all the topics Mr Koh has tested and therefore, it would be easier to answer the questions in the test. But I was shocked after doing the test that the test was quite simple, except for the bonus question, which many students could not solve. Mr Koh gave us our scores immediately after we have finished and displayed them on the screen. My heart was thumping loudly at that time as I was eager to know my results. I looked for my name and saw that I have gotten full marks! I was very esctatic at that time and shouted a loud "Yes!". Now I do not have to worry about my Infocomm Studies anymore and can now score a lower MSG than the first few terms.

I agree with you without a doubt that the test was easy as long as attention is paid during the lessons . However, I have to point out that it is actually the difference in the software that we are dealing with that makes the lessons of the two teachers that we have met different. Personally, I felt that Adobe and html markup language coding are not easy to master as there are a lot of challenges and difficulties faced while trying these softwares out, especially the Flash software , which was further complicated by the inclusion of "actions". But, I expect the next IS test in the following term to be more difficult as we should be able to use C++ better and more skilfully after the first term of being introduced to it.

There is something very different in the way Mr Koh teaches and grades our works. It is speed in completing assignments or projects given on the spot during the lesson. It is the competence that makes his lessons special as he gives us the tasks after lecturing us and would want us to complete by the end of the lesson most of the time. The faster we are able to accomplish the tasks and get it done correctly, the higher our marks would be. Mr Kent's lessons are very intriguing and fresh as there were a lot of things to be learnt and mastered during the period when he taught us. But the process of the works given by him were very fun, especially the Flash final project, as we were given the freedom to create our own websites in any way we like as long as it is appropriate.
