SHORTEST COURSE WITH PROF. MAARTIN DOLK

May be you will ask me, why I used “SHORTEST COURSE PROF. MAARTIN  DOLK” to be passage title! This is my memory when I went to Palembang to continue my master program. I took course only three days exactly 19 to 21 July 2012. Each of them conducted different programs. The first day more than a half of time does introduce program, second day does simulation of problem solving, and the last does interview.

Each of programs in three days is an unforgettable moment to me. Because It is the first moment to me, took course with lecture from abroad. At first day, we waited for long time where we take course late 4 hours according schedule. When we are waiting, Ms Martha and Ms Melda staff from IRME (Indonesia Realistic Mathematics Education) gave us information, they informed me Mr Maartin might came late which caused by he meet rector of Sriwijaya University before. Everyone in the room more patient waits him.

Exactly 1 O’clock in afternoon Mr Maarten, Mr Zulkardi, Mr R.K.Sembiring, Mr Somakin and Mr Ratu Ilma entered to the room. We altogether sat down. Suddenly, Mr Zulkardi asked us to make formation “IMPoME 2012” in front of class where I to be alphabet “I”. Some of them took potograph. After that, we return to the chair.   Then it is time for Mr Maartin to introduce his self. He only wrote his name on white board and then he asked us to write down our name on paper and folded it to be triangle prism then put on the table. Mr Maartin randomly asked us to introduce our self. After that, in the last meeting he gave us two paper which will be discussed on tomorrow morning.

First day was gone, now this met on the second day. Wherein Mr Maartin camee on time. We altogether discussed content of two papers that was given. We discussed in group  and moved to other group based on direction. In the last meeting, he gave me information again. He said that “tomorrow is last meeting, the crucial day to decide the right candidates who go to Netherland”.

In the night before interview’s day, we all prepared to fight in tomorrow morning. I am going to show all of my ability to answer all question from Mr Maartin. I am going to make he sure that I is the right candidates who have opportunity go to Netherland. Last day was begun, I got fifth chance to do interview. On the interview’s time, he asked me to answer some question, luckily I could answer it. After all candidate of IMPoME 2012 had finished to conduct interview, we waited for while to heard announcement from Mr Maarten and Mr Zulkardi. The Time makes my heart bite so fast, and unfortunately they said I got lowest score.  I’m not to be right candidates, but I always surrender to God, may be this is the best way for me. Although I got lowest score, I still have opportunity to took free English Course along 10 weeks.
