My life experience (4th entry)

Wuu....Finally I have completed all my Problem Based Learning(PBL) which irritated me already a few weeks.Some students in other faculties may do not what is PBL and purposes of having PBL.Actually, PBL is a project for us to apply our knowledge and the things that we learned. I felt I'm lucky to have a chance to wear the robe to have our PBL and tasted the feeling for becoming a "real" lawyer since I'm just a first year law student.

Before I have my PBL, there are a lot preparation works for me to do. The preparation works are like finding cases and authorities. Sometimes,this process would making me headache if there is no any authority to support the issue that I wish to voice out. This is because in order to win a case, we need to have a very strong authority to support our point and to convince the judges.If there is no any authority to support what we wish to say. Then this will depends the ability of our word twister which can convincing the judges to support us.

After finished my PBL, I felt that it is enjoyable when I'm giving my argument as a counsel.Although I felt nervous at the beginning,but at the end, I found it is fun and was an enjoyable experience for me.The moment I am standing to present,I have the feeling that I really representing my client to fight for justice and their rights in the court. This made me have a strong satisfaction for becoming a law student.Although before PBL we were busy in finding information and authorities, but I would think that it is worth for me because I get the experience that others may not get. From the PBL, I had learned a lot of court's etiquette and the proper behavior and etiquette of a lawyer inside the court including the way how to wish the judges.

Besides, I felt grateful because of having such a good team members in my PBL group. At the beginning, we are strange to each others and not much to talk and joke.But after that due to we having our discussion quite frequent(almost everyday),so that we have build up the spirit and have a good interaction among us. Cooperation and interaction among my team members have making our PBL a successful and now we were not strange to each other anymore.

After completed my PBL, I strong believe the substance of the phrase "sour first sweets come later".Although I faced difficulties in solving PBL,plus that the process may be irritated and we really need to put effort on it. But at the end of the day, I am really enjoyed it and get a such good experience. I will kept it as my principle and would not be easily despair because of difficulties.
