My Second Week Reflection

First of all, I would like to say I'm sorry for being not attended this week's class. Me and one of my classmates were being dummy variables (kelinci percobaan) for a research conducted by the Nutrition Study Program or whatsoever from Gadjah Mada University. That's why we skip the class, even though we had had the permission from Mr. Prast himself. Actually, I have nothing to write this week. But, in my being absence, I learned something new. I learned that conducted a research needed a great deal of money. In the research, we were given money to buy the food according to the given money. Then, the researcher observe our progress in 24 hours a day via sms. The next day, they measured our calorie and gave us some kind of energetic drinks. After that, before having the measuring our stamina on the field, our calorie were measured again for the second time. All of this was done in order to measure the effect of giving supplement toward the performance on the field. Based on this experience, I learned that research means expensive. We have to spent a great deal of money in order to learn about something which is new for us. However, for the sake of knowledge, there is nothing expensive to learn about something new. This semester I take RPW and RELT class. Hopefully, I could design a good, or even great, research so that it will be useful for the sake of us and the sake of knowledge. God bless you all, my brothers and sisters!!!!
