mind mapping

i missed the tutorial class which is about the topic of mind mapping, as what i know is mind mapping encourage creative problem solving.

Mind Maps are also useful for:

• Summarizing information;
• Consolidating information from different research sources;
• Thinking through complex problems; and
• Presenting information in a format that shows the overall structure of your subject.
  
• It is good when doing revision by related the main topic to the subtopic.

What's more, are very quick to review as you can often refresh information in your mind just by glancing at one. In the same way, they can be effective mnemonics: Remembering the shape and structure of a Mind Map can give you the cues you need to remember the information within it. As such, they engage much more of your brain in the process of assimilating and connecting facts, compared with conventional notes.

ad hominem circumstantial

Last time when i'm in high school, my friend told me that maths teacher could teach us english since she speak good english. But how can a maths teacher teach english subject? This can't be true. My friend is making as hominem circumstantial fallacy.

One day the 18 kids make a meeting to discuss about their family. they want to separate the parents and lived like before.
they did a lots of mess to separate them for example the man like the house to be neat well as the lady like to mess the house. so there is an argument between them .. after awhile both of them blaming each other and and pointing fingers.

scholarship interview :D

The Picture I took was in the lecture class after the interviewed. :)

Today interview pleased me and to the interviewers too! Lol..When I got a called from them that on last Friday that I shorlisted for the scholarship, I was enraptured. I didn't believe that I got selected, I would said I was trying my luck. It was because there are many potential students than me, haha..
Since I going the interview I feel excitable, as I went in today, the office was so beautiful and many corporate member there. I feel this is the real workplace that I will pursue after I am graduate. And as I go into the room, there were two interviewers welcomed me and I start to relaxed myself before they interviewing me.
I remember yesterday my mom told me, to get prepared for the interview questions they would asked.

She Said, if you want to get this scholarships, you need to present yourself well by fluently in english as well as have a good communication skills too and remember to eye contacts when you talk. If you didn't, you will lose your chance and did not get any scholarships. This makes yourself unhappy as well as you are wasting time.
My mom is doing ad populum fallacy of false Dilemma by warning me.

BBQ on Sunday

Followed my sister, Florence to join her friends farewell on Merdeka Day. many people were there in one of her friend house. As i walk into the porch, many people were standing and some was squatting to burn bbq. My stomach was empty on that time, the bbq chicken wings which burning makes me hungrier.
after we had some chicken wings, satay and sausages, they also serves us some liquors. my sister had many glass of the liquor with sprite, so did I but i know the limit and she doesn't.
SO i told her this

Me :hey Florence can you please dont drink so much
Florence :No. I need more, right Jia Ju(her friend)?
Me : okay this is your last glass, deal?
Florence : why do you telling me this?
Me :You cannot drink so much, if you have so much, you will get drunk. When you get drunk you will puke out. If you puke out, you will mess the place. If you don't want to mess the place, you cannot drink anymore. In this case, we can see the A circular argument.
Florence : Jia Ju, this is my last cup. My sister didn't wants me to drink so much. :(

Tuition Teacher( On Sunday )

I have been a tuition teacher for few months ago. I enjoyed being a teacher since all the kids are still young and cute and not only the cuteness but how eager they want to learn.

But being a teacher is not an easy jobs. Why? Because if the kid didn't excel well in their subjects that I teach, the kid parents will point the finger on me and it makes me feel unpleasant. I have one student that I'm really give up to teach him but because he is still young and still a beginner in English and Bahasa Malaysia subjects, I feel that he still have a chance to learn . Since he is slow learner and much surprise to me, on that day he did a good job for english subject. while he read the passage i told him, he read it without anyone to guide him( except he did pronounce wrongly but at least he did improved)on last Sunday.

I was pleasure and I told him, You can beat your other friends if you try harder next time. Remember to read often and you can get A for english for next test. And I will spend you to have treat in Pizza Hut. <=== Apple Polishing
he was so happy, he read it again loudly to everyone.. Well Done!! :D

On the Aug29,2008. Managerial Maths Class

Attend class in the morning, I always took a quick bath and arrive in class on time. Today chapter was tough as usual,what i know was we need to do many practice to score an A in this subject. I'm absolutely give up since i knew that my mid term for this subject will get a LOW marks. I did a lot of hard work to the mid term exam but ...sigh! My carry marks will be low and i need to do my best in my upcoming quizez and final exam to aim a B.

Though i weak in this subject I will never give up as this is my principles when i'm achieving something. My younger sister told me once, since sometimes she will teach me this subject *blush* She will always use sometimes to scared me so that i will able to do my maths well. By she using ad populum appeal to indirect consequences = If you think you can do this subject well, then you no need me to teach you and you can do it yourself. But if you can't do it, you will fail in your final exam and resit this subject. So do you want to practice your maths and understand the theory?

She is making myself felt the pressure and scared, and makes me wanted to learn maths, pushing me to get to understand this subject better. WELL I'm still half way learning this subject. But I knew i can do it. :)

Critical Thinking Subject

What is critical thinking?

That’s was the question given by the lecturer during the mid term exam. I supposed to define it, we should think of how critically we think. I thought the exact phrase to use what critical thinking is. It was no one always acts purely objectively and rationally. We connive for selfish interests. We gossip, boast, exaggerate, and equivocate. It is "only human" to wish to validate our prior knowledge, to vindicate our prior decisions, or to sustain our earlier beliefs. In the process of satisfying our ego, however, we can often deny ourselves intellectual growth and opportunity. We may not always want to apply critical thinking skills, but we should have those skills available to be employed when needed.

But actually, there have many meaning of critical thinking are! One of them is we must become rationally do the right things without relying on emotion but reasoning.

Self awareness it’s another way to influence our motives and bias well recognise the assumption we made.Honest is when thinking critically when we recognize emotional impulses, selfish motives, nefarious purposes, or other modes of self-deception. Open-mindedness to evaluate all reasonable inferences, remain open to alternative interpretations, do not reject unpopular views out of hand, consider a variety of possible viewpoints or perspectives, accept a new explanation, model, or paradigm because it explains the evidence better, is simpler, or has fewer inconsistencies or covers more data, accept new priorities in response to a reevaluation of the evidence or reassessment of our real interests.

After much research on critical thinking, I found that critical thinking make me feel we must be discipline and when we do judgments we must always avoid any snap judgments (but recognize the extent and weight of evidence). Always resist the manipulation and irrational appeals and exhaustive ways.

This is for today BCT diary, I found attractive to do this blog. It makes me feel creative since I have no any blog before. Well done to the lecturers!!
