Kiki went to the University of Warwick and took four modules from the Psychology Faculty: Language and Cognition, Non-Verbal, Psychology and Law, and Negotiation and Influence. She was really enthusiastic but a bit scared at the same time because many of her classes have a lot of reading lists. She felt amazed at how engaging the lessons are despite being a big class. At first, catching up with the study pace was also hard. The learning activities consist of seminars that discuss the readings for the week, video workshops where we watch videos and analyze the gesture and non-verbal from it. Negotiation roleplay, weekly assignments, quizzes, and watching documentaries in the psychology and law class. There are big differences between learning in Warwick and UGM, last semester, UGM classes were still mixed between online and offline classes. Meanwhile, the University of Warwick is entirely offline. Therefore, the classes feel more lively and engaging. Other than that, UGM classes are more generic and usually give the students book references to read so the students are capable of understanding the material better. University of Warwick classes teach more specific topics and give many journal articles as references. But this might be because most of the lessons she has taken in UGM are mandatory. As for Warwick’s, it was elective. In Warwick, they rarely give homework or assignments. Even when they did, it did not take much time, and she could finish it in one sitting.
