Reflective Post by Samson Ho Ka Lok

Cyborg is somehow a big piece of cake in this unit; we have watched movies and did assignments based on this topic, even the unit coordinator spent much time in the visiting lecture to discus this issue with us. After knowing the concept of what cyborg is, I would like to say I believe myself have become a cyborg, I am quite sure that I cannot live without my computer which help me to jot down all of the schedules and since all of my homework have to be typed into the computer before print out and submission. Another good example is the usage of mobile phone, I am sure that most of the people would be very inconvenience without this electronic device. Therefore I attempt to believe many people, at least I, have become cyborg.

My feel toward this course, in general, is not that a special course. The contents of this unit are quite abstract sometimes, for example the concepts of cyborg and the topic of the webliography are hard to understand. I have to spend much time on these issues in order to get a clearer picture. Meanwhile, I feel that lecturer should raise more local samples which can help students easier to get the core points of the topic and make it become more solid.

On the other hand, it is fresh for student that we have to submit work onto the weblog. It may help students to know more about each other through the web communication and students could comment on others work. But I wonder how many of us are really willing to go to the weblog if it is not compulsory to make entries on it. Anyways, this step is fresh to students and I think it is fair to be kept.
