Dear TomHa,
I guess it is high time that I wrote a little about my maths tutor who is like the funniest tutor I ever got in university thus far. So, he is quite short, at most 165, wear specs, has a round face, and combs his short hair backwards as far back as he can. He carries with him this stack of markers which is forever contained in a Watson's plastic carrier bag and a sling bag which is a free gift from some family day(couldn't make out the words). He always wear the same shirt and pants which could just mean that either he has a very efficient washing machine with a very good tumbler dry, or he has many of the same cloths in his wardrobe, or he just couldn't be bothered to change out of his clothes. In any case, at least they don't small. He walks in into class with those sort of unwilling look, something like sigh-darn-undergraduates-again look. Then he stands in front of the OHP and waits for 2 minutes before he begins class, having unpacked and tested his full bag of markers for those with ink. Lessons then begin..
Well, today we are going to do double integrals... Here I show you the summary for the whole chapter(then he explained a little and told us what to look out for..) So, as you can see, like all the other chapters, this tutorial you just look at the question and sub in all the values for the various questions and then you get it.. Any questions? Don't ask too much lah.. engineers no need to understand too much maths theory one.. just learn to apply can already..
(Then a China girl asks some weird question abt alternative ways of solving and then he always gives the unwilling scornful look at her before saying.. Can.. you can do like this but nobody gives you marks..Engineering maths do blindly can already.. need to understand so much for what? I don't understand why you don't understand... Use the formula can already what...
Practise sessions which is like a mini test: I show on the OHP the formulas, you all just use can already.. sure get full marks.. then I pay rise.. you all happy.. I happy..
Haha.. funny guy, maybe you will only find it funny when I re-enact his actions.. haha.
This week is still not bad.. Up to schedule with most things, although I missed a tutorial and 5% as a result because of really bad scheduling in row times in the morning by our vice-captain. In anycase, I realised that like the year before, I trained more on other crafts than the actual craft which I am supposed to be training on. Sigh.. lazy to update liao.. goodbye..
