My first lecture yesterday with prof R was a success! I didn't stone *grin* Somehow the small LT also reminded me of my stats lec with the other prof R, where it's harder to not pay attention in class.
But prof R is giving so much work for this course - readings from 2 txtbks, plus journal articles for both lec and tuts, coupled with grp presentation and an individual report - help! Knowing prof R, this amout of workload is kinda expected and unsurprising. She is someone who teaches well, and expects alot from the students in return.
So far the Ado txtbook looks nice - the cover looks interesting, small-sized bk, and interesting case stories to read. And best of all, it's a single column of words for every page (so you don't feel like you're reading twice the amount of readings). Unfortunately there are no pics to brighten it up.
Although this week is slack - only lec, no tuts - I forsee this sem is going to be hellishly hectic.
3 courses have projects, plus another language mod which needs hard work too. Hopefully things will get better mid-sem =D
I'm longing for the life of GTech ~~~
Still, it's lovely to bump into so many people I know, the juniors, seniors and friends. Hopefully I get to see more of them around the campus!
