i’m unique

As you know, besides work here, i also work as teacher at a campus in Denpasar namely Stikom Bali, but not as permanent teacher. Thats mean i just come to Stikom Bali campus when i have schedule for teach. I already work for Stikom Bali since 2006, its mean already 4 semester until now.

Not all of the subject that i ever teach i like, there is some subject that i dont want to teach again because that subject actually not my bailiwick, for example a subject that related to networking. And i also have favorite subject to teach and always gladly to teach that suject like Visual Programming using Visual Basic 6.0, Algorithm and Programming using C++.

After last even semester, start from yesterday i teach in Short Semester at Stikom Bali just for one subject, Database System. This is the first time i teach in short semester at Stikom Bali. I dont know why the student choose to take the short semester, not the reguler semester. Maybe almost the student who take a subject in short semester is who not pass the subject that they take before. Maybe almost my student ever attend the lecture Database Sytem but they not pass because certain reason so they take Database System subject in this short semester for time saved. I think that student not pass the subject is not because they are dumb because i see almost my student in this class is smart student, i know that because they ever attend to my class in others subject.

On my opinion, there are advantage when i am teach in short semester because almost my student is ever attend the lecture Database System, so i dont need to explain the subject from the zero. At Stikom Bali, short semester is different with regular semester , in regular semester we have 14 meeting with one meeting a week, but in short semester we just have 12 meeting with thrice meeting a week, so short semester can finish about in one month.
