today's clinical trials lecture was fun...

so there was this introductory lecture by a female prof. i think she's from medicine or pharmacy. can see she's trying to mingle with the youngsters and treat it not as a lecture theater but more of a teaching class. in other words, she's teaching with the passion of teaching rather than going through lecture notes so that she can throw exam questions at us.

she went through the lecture class on an individual basis, asking everyone their field of research for their FYP. There's a few interesting answers..like how a guy didnt really bid for this hot module (the points needed was high and alot of appeals were made) but went through the backdoor of another coordinator to secure the module (OH..the DARK side....) and also how some people are doing more unique work outside our concentration of BMS (such as animal conservation which caught the prof by surprise and algae work).

then my lab mate tried to make a joke saying his field is in Japanese studies. It was meant to be a joke, but it caught the LT off guard and everyone was kinda slow in catching in. Was a funny but awkward moment..

and the prof made us come up with a CLASS REP. at university/tertiary level..and out of 100+++ ppl, we're to come up with a class rep. Quite secondary sch i felt. In the end, a guy (ahem..all too ready to be a teacher's pet kinda guy) was sabo-ed and he accepted it. Reminds me of Mr J back then in NP.

yup..was a different lecture where the prof tries to interact on a more personal basis with us. it turned out to be more entertaining than interactive though..haha

oh well..got to start focusing on my FYP..

outz`sense a nightmare coming....be prepared!
