The Battle of the Review Centers

Btw guys i made an FB Page. Called CV Photography and i joined networked blogs. as you can see on my right sidebar Follow me? :3 And if you haven’t commented on my previous post yet, here’s the link  :D

Probably, one of the hardest thing for me this year is deciding which review center i should enroll to. This is crucial for us board exam takers. The way i see it, two things are at stake. Your money and your license. In our field, ECE (Electornics and Communications Engineering), there are only 3 review centers to choose from; review center P (Davao), x (Cebu) and y (Cebu). 

We had a chance to visit x and y during our stay in Cebu. I loved it because it give you awareness on what to expect during the board exams and other important things that i find useful. But what intrigued me the most during that time was when x started talking about y. And when we went to visit y, they too started talking about x. After that, i was convinced to enroll to y.

Then December came. x visited our school like he said when we were in Cebu, he had a very long lecture and of course he is really good at marketing his business. Then x started to talk about y again. How (y) are lying about what  they’ve been saying, x even said they are brainwashing us with their lies and showed us some proofs that can question the credibility of y.

Of course y won’t go down without a fight! When it was y’s time to visit our school, he explained everything about this and that. And i believe y. I also believe that x, like what others say, is really good at convincing people to the point that it can really destroy a person as a whole. X is a prominent review center in engineering and they have been in the business for so many years while y is just starting. Basically, x have everything from facilities down to the materials.  Btw, y is originally from x. Y left X becase of some issues and that’s where the whole bitterness came from. But y is one of the best reviewer that x had.

But it didn’t end there. We just had our seminar about Robotics and Biomedical engineering and it was handled by x. I super love the seminar because i learned a lot. It was not just a seminar but it was a lecture. And those topics that i didn’t understand from my teachers, were taught to us detail by detail. It was a fun and informative discussion/lecture/seminar. His finale was of course you guess. All about y. And i was like, oh boy, here we go again. What he said was exactly what their boss said when he went to our school last December. And by the way that he was saying those things, i can really feel the tension.

Me and my classmates we’re so tired of hearing bad comments and stories from both parties. It confused me a lot. Now i’m not so sure where i should take my review. Why can’t they resolve their issues privately? After all, they are all professionals and there is no doubt that they are really good at what they do. Its like table tennis. Both players are hitting each other through hitting the table (in this case the students). Feeding us with those stories is not really helping us decide. Because of this i think y is going to to our school too. I should prepare myself for another long talk of explaining and bitterness.

I don’t really know anything about P. I heard they are also good but i’d have to hear what they have to say first. I think they have no plans to visit schools though. I heard they let students go to them not the other way around. Oh well.

I don’t know. I am so confused. X extended their enrollment for early bird just this day after the seminar. I think it’s calling me. Oh no.

Forty Thousand Words….

I love writing. I really do. But how will you feel when you are asked to write 4,00 words (excluding 3 letter words or lower) for 10 companies each?

This is one of our requirements for graduation. You guys already know that we went to Cebu last year, i blogged about it here. During our stay there we went to 10 companies. So our professor wanted us to do 40,000 words (overall), handwritten with no erasures. Other requirements include our microprocessor project (“Biometric Voting System”) project, 10 seminars, “Biomedical” project, and projects from other subjects.

I don’t want to complain here, but i just don’t see the point of us writing those 40,000 words! It’s completely useless and a waste of our time and effort. We should be worrying about other important things like our projects, but instead we’re busy writing. Sorry but now i know why our course has the lowest board passers here in our school. Among the engineering students, we are the ones who are suffering the most. And yet i still feel that we’re the stupidest students in our department. How can writing 40,000 words help us in passing the board exam? How can this help us find a job and to be a good engineer? “He” loves seeing his students suffer. I’ve heard, seen, experienced and proven that myself since my third year in college.

They blame everything to the students! While the real problem is, the person who is teaching.

I just think its too much. “He’s” been doing this for how many years but no one ever complained. I swear, if he’s not going to accept my 40,000 words  just because “it’s too small” i’m going to complain straight to our DEAN! Writing that crap is no joke. “He’s” not even gonna read it, during submission he’ll just choose one page and then “he’ll” let you count the words on that page multiply it with the number of pages that you have all in all. And that’s it. Stupid. Just Stupid…

OMG. Excuse me. I’m just venting out my feelings here. I sound really angry. But i have no choice. Still i’m just a student who wants to graduate. I guess  i’ll have to put up with “his” games. To end this post I’ll leave you guys with this saying that i saw in 9gag
