L'étude Fait de Nouvelles Frontières
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
On Sunday, I came across this question that Serene gave me. I don't know whether to laugh or what. After I read this question, to me it feels like a Primary 3 question. When I asked her what level is this question from? She answered Secondary 1. I was going 'Huh? This is Secondary 1 question?'. I remembered clearly this kind of question is Primary 3 standard. Has the Mathematics standard dropped after I graduated? If yes, I would want to retake again! Likewise I asked this question to my Secondary 1 friend, yet she also couldn't answer it.
A motorist travelled from Town X to Town Y at an average speed of 90 km/h. After travelling one-third of the journey in 45 min, he continued to travel another 120 km to reach Town Y. Find his average speed for the second part of the journey?
If you also couldn't answer this kind of question, there is really something wrong with your Mathematics.

Today, it was the first day for the new Computer Animation teacher to take over. His name is Mr Eric. For the first hour, the lesson still hasn't started. I already completed the Week 3: Part 2 - Leather Chair assignment, still he hasn't spoken a word. So I went to browse around the Internet. I went to check for school's downloading and uploading speeds. This was the speeds for 13-04, controlled by the HQ. Quite surprising to me was the uploading speed that reached 7.64Mb/s. With a ping speed of 9 ms is considered quite good! I am wondering will this be a difference for those laboratories on the 4th floors, which was controlled by the school instead.

Finally the next few hours, Mr Eric started to speak! Finally! From the voice I would already can see that, there isn't any 'power'. Boon Paw asked him to speak louder. He said "This is the loudest I can go." I straight away go, 'Faint. I wonder how is he like in the Army.' Is he a fresh graduate from university or someone who has at least 2 years 3D rendering career background person? "Like this how to teach? How to become teacher?" I straight away linked him with Mr Nicholas. For the next 30 minutes, the students still couldn't understand. Everyone went to follow the lab notes instead. I have already completed the chessboard set with flat mirror reflection, doubled chess pieces for both sides. This is the final design of my chessboard set! I just loved the reflections done onto the oak chessboard. Just like the real wood finishing. :D
Jasmine even said, "I rather let Mr Christian teach than him.", "I think Qihui teaches even better than him." Boon Paw said, "If like this goes on. I think even the GPA 4.0 student, become GPA 0.4 student." Faint. Zhou Long started saying, "Every week already took at least $800 from us for lessons." True to say, however I do think that without all those lab notes and files by Mr Justin. I think even any students come and take over. They also couldn't teach. Most of the students either depend on the step-by-step lab notes and try-and-error way.
I also noticed that Mr Eric isn't firm yet, don't have the 'man' attitude. Last Friday, he doesn't know what to do. So he mimicked Mr Justin's move. Paralleling left to right, more worst is in the same speed. Today, Fadilah raised hand for help. Mr Eric didn't even approach them to help. Everyone either shook heads or laughed. What I have to say is, 'It is not just you must understand, your students must understand as well. Go face the mirror and practice more."
Merci tout le monde...
