| Kartu Rencana Studi semester 3 |
Seperti 2 semester yang lalu, disetiap akhir semester saya akan share apa-apa saja yang telah dipelajari anak sastra inggris UNS. Diedisi kali ini (ceileh edisi, kayak majalah aja,... kwok kwok) saya akan mencoba menulis dengan bahasa inggris, kan sudah semester 3 jadi harus dipraktekkan apa yang sudah didapat selama 3 semester terakhir. :) Apabila ada kesalah penulisan atau grammar, saya hanyalah manusia biasa yang tak lepas dari kekurangan, saya siap menerima teguran dari siapapun mengenai grammar dan hal lain. Saya anggap itu sebagai masukan yang membangun untuk saya.
(Semester
Sept-Febr 2014)
Anyway, here
we go,…
Well,
it's time for me to show my subjects in the 3rd semester. From the head
department, we got 11 subjects. They were:
1.
Writing III
2.
Translation Theory
3.
Dynamic of Indonesian Culture
4.
Morphology
5.
Cross Cultural Understanding
6.
Book Report
7. Reading
III
8.
Listening III
9.
Introduction to English Prose
10.
Speaking III
11.
Bahasa Indonesia
Each the
subject has 2 points (SKS) so in general we have 22 points this semester. For
some students, they can take more than 22 points but it must be no more than 24
(#one more subject only).
Writing III
In my
writing class (class C), the class was handled by Mr. Dr. Tri Wiratno. In this
semester we learned about anecdote, exemplum, narrative, review and news item.
Fyi, Mr. TW usually would give information about the final score. He might only
take the last score or the average score. He always comes in class on time but
he always gives excuses to the students who come late. What I like from him is
when there is nothing to be presented, he always asks the students to have Kelas
Mandiri and counted as presence. (Class dismisses early)
Translation Theory
It was a big class and handled by Miss Ida Kusumadani, S.S, M.A.
She does not only give knowledge about the materials but also gives
inspirational story about honesty or life. In her class you will learn about
Terminologies in translation, Equivalent and non-equivalent at word
level/above, translation methods, strategies, and techniques, and problems
related to culture and languages.
Some
tips during exam in her class:
a.
Give full attention to the instruction from her.
b. No
cheating
c. If
she said no communication, she really means it. Although you only nod to your
friends it means you get 0 in your test.
d. Be
good
Dynamic of Indonesian Culture
A big
class handled by Mr. Sri Agus. It is kind of a boring class because of the way how the
lecturer teaches not the materials. The test is joking, #how many statue are
built in the first yard of Prambanan statue. But in the end special thanks for
Pak Sri Agus. :) In this class we learn about culture in Indonesia since
pre-history period untill now. He also tell us about batik, Hindus’ and
Buddhist’ candi (statue), Ken Arok who fall inlove with Ken Dedes
because of her calves and puppets. ED 12 gives an Iconic word for his class; it
is PHALLUS, because he ever says that word continuously in 2 meetings. The
little problem is the meaning of that word.
Morphology
Morphology
is a big class. It is handled by Mr. Drs. Agus Hari W, M.A,Ph.D. In
morphology class you will learn about lexeme, morpheme, and word formations.
There
will be 3 tests and 1 task in the end of the semester. He has the same method
like in the previous class (Phonology class).
Cross Cultural Understanding
At
first I liked
joining this class because of the subjects. I learn anything in this class,
such as social
norms, taboo, faux pass, social stigma, scape goat, shame, narcissism,
international etiquettes, cultural shock, and the last is globalization: Survival
skill. Unfortunately the condition of the class is not
so supportive, due to so many students, not all the students are pay attention,
and the worst I have to finish my undone task #reading. Okay, this is my problem
and I have strong reasons why I did such a thing. The
first is that the lecturer (Drs. Hendarto Raharjo,M.A) only read the material
from the book which is compiled by him from WIKIPEDIA (we have to buy the book
IDR 30.000,-) and I think I can learn the materials by myself in my boarding
house which is more convenience for studying. The second reason is the
condition of the class is not so supportive. The class is so crowded and the
air is so hot. Just imagine a class for more than 70 students without air conditioner
and only 2 fans provided. So I just love the subject.
Book Report
(Oh
my goodness, I love this subject) In this class you will have a small class. It’s
only more/less 15 students. I was in class D and the lecturer is Miss Dra. Nani
Sukarni, M.S. Not all English department students in different university has
this subject. I have friend who studied in State University in Surabaya (He is
English student as well) but he did not get this kind of subject. Then I ask
another friend, who had ever studied in USA when he was in high school, he got
Book Report at that time. So I can conclude that as an English department
student I think it is necessary to learn Book Report. In this subject we will
discuss about literary works specially Prose. We think about the theme why the
theme is bla bla bla, the characters in the novels and so on. From some movies
that I have watched such as The Perks of Being A Wallflower and Bad
Teacher (don’t be negative thinking), there was a subject at the school in
the movie which learn about novel in English class. So, I think for students
who learn English as foreign language, learning book report is really something.
Reading III
Small
class, I am in B class. The lecturer is Miss Justine Niken, S.S, M.A. She
graduated her master degree in Literature in UGM. She is a talk active lecturer, may
be because she is still young, and if I'm not mistaken this is (2013) her
second year becoming a lecturer. I think all my friends like joining her class.
Although it is reading class but no boring at all because almost in every
discussion she brought us in the other topics which were up to date, so we just
followed her and suddenly time was up. lol. Anyway we learned about the same
genre as mentioned in writing class, except news item.
Listening III
This is the
next level of listening class. Just be ready with different difficulties. Tbh,
Mr. Agus Dwi P, S.S., M.CALL gives us (the C class) 9 tasks and those tasks can
improve your test score in the future.
Introduction to English Prose
In
this subject you'll get many terminologies in prose. Such as deathtrap plot,
characters, author surrogate, stream of consciousness, picaresque novel, hoax,
false documents, etc. What makes it worst is the lecturer is the same as CCU’s.
We have to buy a book compiled by him from WIKIPEDIA and the price is IDR 30.000,-
Mr. Hendarto,which is graduated from America, is not that bad, tbh he is good
for some students. He ever give one of my friend (I think he is the one and
only who gets) A score in this subject. So, for you who will take this subject
still have a (little) chance to get an A.
Speaking III
Miss
Karunia Purna K, S.S., M.si handles the speaking class B. This class is bigger
than the previous class because for this semester there were only 2 classes.
With Ms Nia, we learn how to be in seminar, panel discussion, presentation
and debate. I like the way how she taught us. She is so cheerful. lol
Bahasa Indonesia
The materials
for this class are about the Language itself but these materials are very useful
to support our task in making review text. In the test, Ms Dra. Hesti
Widyastuti, M.Hum always gives instruction to make an essay at least 8
paragraphs. Prepare yourself for this...
Note:
I took 1 more subject in my third semester. I took Pranata Masyarakat Inggris dan
Amerika. Advice from me, don’t take this subject!!! You need background
knowledge from Introduction to American Studies which you will get in the fourth
semester.
That's
my story in my third semester. Sorry for the short explanation. If you have
question(s) just comment or contact me in my social media accounts. :)
