Hi classes, please be reminded that the class test will be held on Thursday (03/04/2008). Topics are Chapter 2.4 and the entire Chapter 3 (Simple algebraic fractions). Calculators are allowed. Please revise and be well prepared for the paper. You should be able to do well if you prepare sufficiently.
106: Group presentations for Chapter 13 Transmission of Heat
Hi class, please start working on the group presentation that is due on Thur (03/03/2008). Each group will be given 10 min to present their ideas. As there are 2 groups working on the same sub topic, you can further spread out the workload.
S/no 1 -10: Conduction
11-20: Convection
21-29: Conduction
30-38: Convection
Do use the textbook as a reference. And feel free to use the internet to get more information. Not to worry, i do not need to see beautiful animation. More importantly is the content of the presentation. At the end of the lesson, i will correct all the mistakes/fill in the necessary gaps in your presentations. And then we will move on from there. Do not worry if you think you have not prepared sufficiently. More important is that i want to see the team work in the class and also give you an opporunity to be in the shoes of a teacher.
All the best! Feel free to approach me if you have any queries regarding the topic.

Doing the right thing (for all my students)
Another nugget of advice that i have for all my students.
It is never easy to do the right thing. What students and young people face are the tremendous peer pressure from other friends when they try to attempt to do what is right. Young people, do not be afraid to do so! Stand up for what is right. Though others may laugh at you, you have a clear conscience as you know that what you are doing is right. Do not think that the majority is always right. Sometimes, the opposite is true instead.
Another thing is the choice of friends. As the saying goes 近朱者赤, 近墨者黑. How true is this saying! If you are able to overcome the peer pressure and make friends who are more academically inclined, i'm sure you will learn the good things from them, and your attitude towards learning will improve. If you choose to make the wrong friends, i'm afraid that its only a matter of time before you learn all the wrong things. Having said all those, i'm not asking you all to break away from those friends who influence you the wrong way. You can still be friends with them, but you need not be on too close terms with them. Win them over with your determination to study, and i think they will be in awe of you, rather than laugh at you.
In fact, all that what i am saying stems from my belief, which is Christianity. The world may think that those who are doing right are fools, but they are actually loved in the sight of God. That is why i am determined that all of you learn the right things and not the wrong things. Education is supposed to make you a better person both in head knowledge and in character. No use having a student who is smart but does not have a good character. I just hope those who have been falling behind can awake to their senses and think about the future ahead should you continue to wallow in your current bad state.
