Something that strikes me

I have been busy trying to complete my IWB assignment. Started -> In the process to complete it -> Completed it -> Did corrections -> Review -> and the steps are repeated again. So busy that I would say I have left my blog as well as Adec aside. Although my e-mails are full with mails from Adec, I hate to admit that I sometimes ignore them all. Conscience often gripped me that today, despite how much I wanted to complete everything and hand every thing over to my group leader, I took that precious hour off and check on Adec.

I found several discoveries:
1. Prof uploaded a story and every one commented on it. It was a story that is not new to me. I remembered reading it from lots of e-mails several friends sent to me. Even my mum sent it to me. However, it still has the same great impact on me. Well, I have not really found any one around in the varsity lately that would touch us personally. On the contrary, my first discovery proved that I MAY have the wrong perception. My second discovery:-

2. Our blog - We were supposed to enter a new post every week. Due to piles and piles of assignments bombarded to us, most of us did not keep it updated. (I feel not a tinge of guilt but a pang and ongoing strong feeling of guilt because I am one of them)
This is the exact quote from our Prof:

" If you remember the marks for the blog is 20%. I would hate to have to deduct your marks as per your mediocre performance in the blogs. However, I will be lenient with you if you can show me at least 6 entries of QUALITY blog entries, then you will be excused. If you are not sure of what the QUALITY means, please check with the assignment question 1 again".

At this instance, I realised that she is "Mrs Thompson" and we are "Teddy". Thanks a lot. She touched me with her care and understanding. I have learnt something valuable. Although it is a big class that we are in but she did not overlook the problem we faced.

Smartboard

It has been ages since I updated my blog.

Life in the varsity revolves too much around assignment, quiz and tasks.

The most current assignment for this paper, Smartboard a.k.a IWB is really making me cracking my head. To say that I started really early would be a lie. However, as my code of conduct is "THIS is a GROUP work so I have to do better in this than any individual assignment".

Instead of doing it individually for our own parts, the three of us -Rubi, Ling and I are going to do it together to produce 3 smartboard exercises; reasons being we have to produce a Science task for our pupils. Well, well, well, mathematics is our minor and to produce something for a Science lesson, we shall call Eliana to the rescue -> Eliana would u be kind enough to lend us Science CS?
