research, not tertiary or beyond

hard bound
double space
IMRAD? never heard of that. make it multiple chapters!
double column? never heard of that either
+/- may minimum pages per chapter

notice how compact the formatting most research in published journals are pero yung research ng nasa high school napakakapal ng pahina?

heaven forbid multiple revisions ka kasi maiiyak ka sa dami ng print outs mo!

alam ko hindi naman lahat ganito pero i don’t get why some instructors insist on doing this wasteful and relatively expensive formatting instead of just copying what most actual researchers do.

I’ve now wondered why every time we elect class officers, we have to choose who’ll be the secretary, PRO, auditor, muse or escort when really the only people acting as officers are the president or their vice.

Just elect a class representative who acts as a liaison between teachers and students. Give it the weight of added responsibility but without the prestige of being called “president” to inculcate the idea that the ability to persuade and influence is earned and not something you can demand by virtue of simply being in an official position and remove the need for them to discipline fellow students. We’re supposed to self-regulate and failure to do so is not anybody else’s fault.

i’ve always been baffled as to why we don’t just submit raw grades and instead make teachers and professors go through a transmutation table to determine what grade to give a student.

a 60 should be a 60, not an equivalent to 75 or something. it’s silly and makes it hard for students to know where they stand and know what they need to improve on, grade-wise. i remember every time my parents have to get my report card, it feels like a suspense movie since you have no clue how well you did until you see your grades.

whenever i tell my north american peers how we had to defend our thesis or research paper in front of a panel in high school and even in tertiary ed, they recoil and think we’re insane ‘cuz they don’t do any of that there usually until you pursue your masters. why is the gov’t so keen to make the curriculum research-heavy and expect students to produce quality, thesis-like, panel-defendable material when actual research requires funding and relevant support?

i grew up taking no-erasure exams since high school. now, as an employee in another country, the amount of times i cross-out + initial on LEGAL and AUDITABLE documents will make any of my teachers/professors faint! this policy is just downright silly. there are better ways to deter cheating than making students pay for minor syntax or multiple choice errors

Anyone here who pursued their bachelor’s after the MLS diploma program? I just wanna know your insights and how it’s like in the BSMLS program since info about it seems quite scant. I’m in the MLS program (Level 4 moving to Level 5) and is somewhat interested in taking up med school in the medium term. My only other post-secondary is an MLA certificate.
