Teaching Methods

I'm out of school for the OC course.... I wonder why, since I've not thought about being the head honcho in NPCC. In fact, I'd try every means to wiggle out of that. Mdm Kua is doing a fine job; I think we should maintain the status quo....

The first day is really boring (don't I sound like a typical student whining about yawn-inducing lectures?)... powerpoint after powerpoint of endless words and even more tedious self-introductions. For all that use of technology, the most interesting lesson came from a low-, in fact no-tech method of chalk and talk, in the most humourous way! Peppered with anecdotes about his personal experiences about love, courting, napping rapists (including a case with a top 10 TCS actor) and wry remarks and playful recollections of disturbing suspects, ASP Lim (did I get the rank correct? can never register such things) regaled us with his stories and dissipated any ounce of lethargy induced by the lunch. (delicious food at the canteen, cheap too! especially the western food. Can we just go to Home Team Academy to have lunch? can adjourn to Qian Hu fish farm after that)

Sadly, his name is not on the agenda for the next three days. How can I maximise the time? I can't mark - that's too conspicuous. I can't read, since I tell my own pupils not to read during my lessons....

I'm missing school (can't believe I said that!)
