TWC 11th lesson!!

It's the last second week of the class. This is really a hectic week for me with pretty much of projects deadline coming adding on top of the pile of homework that needs to be done.

Today's lesson is mainly on presentations where 3 groups will talk about their web report.

However, I would like to first talk about an interesting quote shared by Prof at the start of the class.
"Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.”

This means that if you understand something, you’ll be able to put the concept in simple words. If you can’t do it and have to explain in complicated terminologies, it’s highly likely that one does not truly understand it. I have the exact same thoughts when i was in secondary school. I always believe explaining something in technical term is difficult to understand and students may find it hard to grasp. When i really understood something my teacher was teaching back then, if i was about to understand it and my peers don't, i'm able to explain them in simpler terms that is easier to understand. Hence, I believe textbooks should be as simple as possible in order for people to learn easily.

On the group presentation part, generally i think all the websites are really well done, especially the first group that does Technology and the Arts. Their website was really well done, informative and included many pictures as well. We can see considerable effort put into the making of the webpage. Seeing all the groups with their completed websites (well after presentation there were a few more improvements to be made), i realized my group's website is quite far from the norm. I dedicate this to the absence of anybody with prior webpage design knowledge. We have lots to do and improve on for our website and hope we can do a good job next week during our presentation! :)

Overall, this lesson was educational, allowing us to know slightly more in depth to a few topics covered by the different group. However, it was pretty monotonous during some parts of the lessons.. but it was good overall. :)
I rate this class 8/10.

Cheers! :)
