"Humanism within me"

I don't know how or where to begin writing this. As a first-year student, writing a reflection on the university is really difficult for me. I don't have many strong feelings or memories associated with the school yet. At the beginning of the year, I participated in a political science class which was quite exciting. I applied for club interviews but wasn't selected. Since then, my enthusiasm for clubs has gradually diminished.

I think the school's credit-based program allows students to choose their own subjects and class times, which gives them more control over their studies. Although we haven't been able to choose our teachers yet, I hope we can find out who the teacher is for each subject beforehand, and see their information. That way, we can choose a more suitable class.

My most memorable experience during my first semester was course registration. Although I'd heard about it from seniors, it's true that "seeing is believing," and I struggled to register for a schedule I liked. The first time, I couldn't register as planned; the network was down and I accidentally registered for a third-year course just to meet the credit requirements. I was really discouraged, but I just gave up, thinking I had to take it anyway. Then, realizing I'd made a mistake, I tried to fix it the next time the registration portal opened. Then, seeing someone cancel a course, I tried registering again, agonizing over the coursework. If only my university had a separate registration portal, students would register much faster.

Now, the eternal issue: exams. I appreciate the school's serious approach to exams: genuine learning, genuine testing. I like Professor Dinh Duc Tien's teaching style; he shares a lot of practical, relatable knowledge, making it easy to understand. My overall impression is mainly about academics. Perhaps in the coming years, I'll have more to share about the school, and I'm sure I'll discover something special about the Faculty of Humanities that will make me love my school even more. Thank you so much for reading to the end.
