on friday, i attended my first ever tutorial over at science. my my my... culture shock lor. haha... a few things that made it very interesting for me:
1) it was held in a computer lab. i'm too used to classrooms, where the whole class sits in a circle
2) nobody talks! i mean, only the tutor is yapping away the whole time. almost like lecture again lor. haha...
3) there was no self-introduction. all my uni life, every first tutorial will include a self-introduction. like the bilingualism class, we talked about what languages we spoke etc.
4) the cutest bit was this clicker thing (see below). you click to give your answer to the tutorial question, and then this software collects everyone's clicks and collates the data and shows how many got it wrong or right. i was laughing my ... hmmm... (no vulgarities here) laughing very very hard. haha...
so you click your answer, then this small black thingy at the wall picks up the remote signal
how do you noe if your signal got picked up? the number seen on the screen must correspond to the clicker's number (so if your clicker number is 5378, then you see 5378 appear on the screen, your answer has been recorded)
of course, at the end, must collate all the answers and voila! a graph....
this is so amusing for me. call me a arts student. :)
