Day 14 - Free

For the first time, we have free time today! In mandarin it's normally known as 自由活动, which is commonly "celebrated" when the teacher is sick and a strange teacher you never met before enters class and says teacher is on MC, you can do whatever you want! 

In our case, they call it "Project Time", in which we have to rush to prepare our presentation at the end of the month! So it's seriously time management, organize our own discussions, even rehearsing what we are gonna say! And there's so much chances to procrastinate, but we will rather complete our task for the day than to bring work home. A good chance to practise the healthy culture of "work during working hours, rest during off-working hours".

Have you ever wondered why some of our lecturers type in notes under some slides in their Powerpoint lecture files? It actually has a purpose. Most of us will project our monitor to the audience, which then exposes what we're clicking before actually starting the slide show. But there's a way to be more "professional"! Check this out :

We picked this technique up when our mentors conduct their sessions here. So much better than showing a dead blue screen or showing people what you have in your thumbdrive!
