Blog 2: Reflection of the Handout of Drama

In the second class, the lecture was based on the handout given to each of the students. To me, the handout really helps a lot because it serves as a guide for me. The handout is about the essential elements in drama. Although it is only comprises of main points, I still prefer the notes because without it, I will not be able to follow what the lecturer taught us that day. Furthermore, I will be having difficulties in spelling certain terms in drama such as ‘farce’, ‘catharsis’, ‘harmatia’, ‘hubris’ etc. These terms are alien to me. Let’s say that our lecturer did not provide the notes for us; it will be no problem if he spelled the terms for us but are we expecting him to spell all those alien terms for us? Not really! All in all, the handouts given are really helpful. It is not to say that we are too tired or too lazy to take down notes but as I said earlier, they serve as a guide and also as an aid in learning drama.
