studentsCollege physicsThe last week of every term is the most stressful week of the term, not only to students but also to teachers like me. After encoding all quiz and other results and computing the final grades, the teacher should have enough energy to face the reality that many if not majority of the students in the class fails the subject, especially if its physics or math. I don't want to express my opinion here on why students find physics and other mathematical subjects are hard. Gusto ko lang sabihin yung ilang mga karanasan ng mga teachers pagdating ng araw bago i-submit ang grades.
On students' comments; book reviewsNabasa kanina ni Ayna ang ilang (negative) comments ng mga students ko last term. Di ko alam kung galit siya sa akin o sa mga students pagkatapos niyang basahin. Sabi ko yung mga positive comments ay hindi na kasi sinusulat kaya puro negative lang mababasa niya.
Lab reportsKatatapos ko lang i-check ang mga laboratory reports ng mga students. Buong araw yun lang ang ginawa ko at hindi madali. Hindi naman mahirap pero nakakainip lalo na na isa o dalawa lang talaga sa buong klase (of around 30 students) ang marunong magsulat ng report, in English. The rest, bokya sa grammar. Well, ako din hindi naman ganun kagaling sa English pero when it comes to writing, at least I can edit my work to check for grammars (tedious process for me sometimes kasi nauubusan ako ng vocabulary!).
GyroscopeNapag-usapan namin kanina sa aming klase sa Experimental Physics na poproyektuhin ang paggawa ng gyroscope. Tatlong grupo ang nabuo. Bawat grupo ay dedesinyo at gagawa ng gyroscope. Ang gyroscope ay maraming gamit. Karaniwan itong ginagamit para magbigay ng oryentasyon sa direksyon ng isang tumatakbong sasakyan o bagay sa three-dimensional space tulad ng eroplano, submarine, spaceship, at missile.
