Question: You have almost completed this semester, so, how do you view Critical Literacy now? If you have any comments and suggestions please do so as it helps for the betterment of the course as a whole.

   The fact that I almost at the end of the semester is unbelievable since I thought at first I could not make it through this subject smoothly. However, after all, this is an amazing journey that I will gladly and do not mind sharing my experience with my juniors. Critical Literacy is a though yet a subject that gives a lot of benefits to us. For instance, it increases the way we critically think to elaborate some answers as well as sharpening our writing and reading skills.

    From what I think, as I begin to learn the subject, I find it quite interesting yet full of complexity since the subject requires students to think critically in most of the topic given. The most interesting part is, I gain a lot of new knowledge about our country since most of the tasks given involving us to analyze a lot of articles. For example, the article about Dr Sheikh Muszaphar, our first astronaut. I never knew the controversy about him before this. Hence, this subject makes me realize that I need to do a lot of research and reading in order to gain a new knowledge about something. With that being said, the reading task in this subject is not a ‘meaningless’ reading, but a reading with our brain critically examines, analyze and evaluate the meaning of the texts just to deeply understand the content of the article we are required to read. For an average student like me, I find the skills we got from this subject are really beneficial to be applied in other subjects as well.

   Last but not least, I really love and appreciate my lecturer’s effort in making her students have a better understanding regarding the subject. In every task she gives, she will provide some examples for us to refer in order to prevent us from doing any simple mistakes in the tasks. I believe her thoughtful action really help us to do a lot better in this subject. I am glad that I met this subject and have a really supportive friends, lecturers and family that always encourages me to keep going. I hope my friends and I will get flying colors in Critical Literacy just like how much effort we put throughout the subject.

  Question: During the COVID-19 Pandemic men are doing more at home, in most households the division of housework and childcare has become more equal. How do you view this statement?      I disagree with the statement as women actually do more domestic chores and childcare during COVID-19 pandemic. This is because no one expected the virus will conquer the world and people are required to stay longer at home. Hence, men might find no reason at first to be prepared early to do house chores as well as childcare. Therefore, when they are not mentally ready, women end up do even more work instead during the pandemic. According to Sandrine and Amelia (2020) statement, “ during lockdown, Teni and her husband have both been working from home, but their days look very different. The husband works from 9.30am to around 5-6.30pm, and Teni do feel like he has the luxury of going into a room and can concentrate on his work, but she does not have that luxury, she says, "I do feel...

        Question: You heard comments and maybe grievances from your seniors about Critical Literacy, but what is/are your expectation (s) or hope for this course as you are just started?       First of all, before entering a new semester, it is a must for me to get to know what type of subjects I am going to learn next. I believe this is normal for most of the students as we want to be well prepared mentally and physically. Hence, at the end of semester 3, as we were still in the phase of online learning and quite difficult to keep in touch with our seniors, my classmates and I take a chance to ask our lecturers instead about the criteria of the new subjects that we are going to learn in the upcoming semester. That is when I know that Critical Literacy is one of the subjects and get to know a little bit about it.      Just by looking at the name of the subject, it gives me shivers because of the first impression I had towards the word...
