8:56 pm on the 15th of November, 2005Education first thing, covering equal opportunities and inequalities in relation to gender, hurrah! To give you the just of it, girls are better than boys and that’s that. Live with it.
And the a short design meeting, who’s initial ideas are the best? I work in a different way to my partner, my ideas sheets are just filled with little scrappy sketches and lots of annotation, whereas hers are much more focussed. I’m not saying one way is better than the other but there is a definite difference in the sheets, which will be very stark in the the folio for anyone outside of the process.
Teaching Technology presentation next - Low tech in the classroom, excellent, got to look at NetOp sometime. Didn’t get chance at the time because we got collared by people wanting to see out ideas. We seem to be ahead of the rest of the class, but to be honest I feel as though we’re a long way behind where we should be, so I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.
Education and Assessment lecture got cancelled because her laptop broke or something, which left us with two hours to kill before the joyous event that is Understanding Energy. So off to the snooker hall in the GUU. I refuse to play, I’m far too bad at any game like that, but it killed the time quite well watching Craig get comprehensively beaten by Derrick.
And then Understanding Energy, I’ll say little. It was disappointing to see only 9 people turn up, but that wasn’t helped by the cancelled lecture earlier. The topic has the potential to be really involving but the way it is presented if rather disengaging, and the amount of lecture time compared to the number of credits doesn’t really work out in a way that makes you want to go all that often. Oh well, at least we were out before 5, gave me time to get to STA travel and book our flights to New Zealand!
