Created with Padlet



5 Important lessons, I learned from this inspiring talk by Nor Fadzleen Sadon about Harvard Summer School:

  1. At Harvard you are encouraged to learn, think and have group discussions outdoors
  2. Class participation is highly valued. 30% of the course evaluation is based on students class participation (at least for Nors 2 courses). 
  3. Students learn through attending/facilitating workshops, giving presentations and doing projects on real companies or ideas that can be applied to the real world. A lot of emphasis is given on students to speak up, articulate and share their ideas, opinions and thoughts. 
  4. Students are required to mostly find their own resources for the learning activities, and spoon-feeding or regurgitation of the Professors notes is simply a No No! 
  5. The Professors are not there to tell you what is right and wrong, but to provoke you to think and challenge one another to find your own path in a myriad of possibilities. You have to be prepared to get constructive feedback from your peers and Professors at all times. 

Finally, although learning is tough at Harvard, you are recommended to have fun while you try to innovate or find creative solutions to the biggest problems and issues that the world is facing today.

And amazingly, Nor Fadzleen Sadon attended Harvard Summer School while fasting, and one of her team project reports scored the highest (Al-Hamdulilla). Insya-Allah, she is destined to do great things for education in Malaysia and beyond :)
