Presentations - More than just boring talk
Its been a boring study break this week.
Though I did revise and attempt my assignment, it was generally a sluggish week.
Usually if the blog starts growing mold after awhile without new content.. it either means I'm hell busy (less likely) or nothing exciting happened (more likely).
However, today was something worth mentioning.
Today, the presentation session for the Final Year Projects (FYP) took place. It went all the way from 9 to 5~ Numerous different projects for the electrical and computing disciplines.
My good friend and housemate Hafiz had his at 9.50-ish. So I decided to drag my lazy bum out to support him in the lecture theatre.
Sheng and I also attended some of the presentations given by other final year students within our electrical discipline.
Some were "omg-that-looks-straight-out-of-the-text?!" kinda standard, whilst others were more of "holy-shit-that's-freakin'-awesome!"
But more importantly, it opened my eyes to how FYP presentations are about.. how they should AND should NOT be done and what kinda terrorizing questions the judges could throw at you. >.<
More interestingly though, today I saw how even the big guns - ie: professors - are just as much capable at arguing between themselves as teaching us!
As the photo (which I secretly toOk) above roughly depicts, during the Q&A session, Prof. A began throwing questions at the student.
All seemed fine and normal..
Until..
Prof. B (who was the student's project supervisor- ie: the guy who helps you) started rebutting Prof. A and the two went at it for almost 5 min!
And just when it seemed it couldn't get more "interesting".. Dr. C came into the picture and all three were challenging each other's opinions and (evidently) their knowledge on the subject.
HAHAHA!
I personally know all three of them coz each had taught me at some point and I must say they ALL obviously know their stuff well. Really good lecturers.
But just seeing those three superhouses go at it was just SPECTACULAR and was sorta like an "exclusive interview between Bush and Osama" - something which you never thought you would actually experience!
The debate/argument/entertainment went on for probably 5min or so.. before another Dr. (facing my camera) finally calmed things down and said something like..
"Alright, i think that's quite enough.. lets end our arguments and actually question the student!"
hahaha~!
All the while, the student was just standing there.. probably secretly giggling.. whilst the rest of us at the back were internally imploding with laughter and whispering..
".. Fight.. fight.. fight!!.."
xD
But I'm sure at the end of the day.. there were no hard feelings between them...
.. or were there?
Apparently, a friend of mine told me such "head-butts" were bound to happen every year.. as did last year when one of the doctors told a professor to..
.."go back and read your textbook!"
omG. Owned biatch!
=O =O =O
So it seems.. going to uni might not be so boring afterall.. sometimes.
lol
That's enough of that.. here're some random pictures of Little Jovie~

P.S: The professors' names were not disclosed for fear of embarrassing them... but more like so I won't get sued or HUNTED down by them! xD
