Punctuality and Preparation for a Face-to-Face Tutorial
(Scene: A small warung near a tutorial venue. Three colleagues, [Name], Tuti, and Murni, are eating.) [Name]: Excuse me, Tuti, what time is it now? Tuti: It's twenty to eight. [Name]: That means we still have about fifteen minutes. Murni: What time does the tutorial start, Tuti? Tuti: According to the schedule, it begins at 8:00 AM. [Name]: We should be punctual. It's important to show respect for the tutor's time and to be ready to learn effectively. Being on time allows us to settle in, gather our materials, and mentally prepare for the session. Starting promptly ensures we maximize the learning time allocated. Murni: Let's go to the classroom now. Tuti: Actually, it's ten minutes to eight now. We should head over. Being prepared and on time demonstrates professionalism and a commitment to our learning. [Name]: Agreed. Let's go. I'm looking forward to the tutorial. I hope we can all learn a lot today. Being prepared and on time sets a positive tone for the entire learning experience. (Insightful concluding thought): Punctuality isn't just about adhering to a schedule; it reflects our respect for others' time and our commitment to maximizing learning opportunities. It's a valuable skill that contributes to a positive and productive learning environment.
