2:55 pm on the 13th of September, 2006I’ll cover it quickly because I’m tired.
I took a second year class for some knowledge (they don?t like knowledge) on timber, introducing hard and soft wood. It?s a bit boring and fairly bland but I tried to spice it up by using some photos from Peru last year and it seemed to get their attention. I used it more of a distraction from the booklet I?d run through with them before they set about doing some work - the intention being to see how much they?d picked up by asking questions after showing them the photos. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It?s a great class in any case, they just get on with things.
S5 PCS, nothing much to say,
Next helped cover an S3 class, working through some written work on lathes, we were given the runaround a bit, this class are particluarly noisy and doing written work in a practical room never helps.
S3 - took the lesson on ergonomics and anthropometrics. This is pretty much the first time they’d heard of the terms so just spent the time making sure that they had some understanding of it.
S4 - folios in library, some discipline problems but nothing too out of hand, there was one incident with another staff member but it was dealt with well enough and I wasn’t involved.
