My Reflection over the Online Course

What did I find out during the cooperation project?

I think that this course is good because it gives a chance for Cambodian and German students getting to know each other more including the culture, education and the tradition and so on. However, there are some problems related to the internet speed and the different time zone that make us difficult to chat or have a meeting time on chatting. There are some misunderstandings in the assignments given that I sometimes was confused.

What did I find most interesting, strange, funny, awkward?

The thing that I like from this project is the chance that European students and Cambodia can understand each other well rather than just the book and mis written history or the wrong perception on each other. For instance, before I thought that German are so cruel because they killed many Jewish people and at the same time Cambodia has been known as a bad country which suffered from many wars. When they heard of Cambodia, foreigners have the ideas of killing, brutality, or corruption but the fact is not that we have so many things here.

What was easy, what was difficult in the communication process?

The difficult part is the internet speed and the accessing to internet. We have so slow internet even though we try to open the page but we failed so many times. The internet speed really made tired of using it. Also, we have so many other course to learn and it made us difficult to make ourselves available for the course and to the complete each given assignment. However, after we get used to the internet we try to find a better speed and we can communicate with our friends in Germany through email or forum.

What would I still like to find out from the other students?

The things that I want to know more from other students are how they use the time effectively for their study and how to do the job while learning. I also need to know more how is media situation in Germany as well as the life of journalists over there whether they are respected or giving value or not. In addition, I want to have this kind of course more and more to make a better understanding of the using internet for a study purpose.
