Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I have only one more final exam to talk about (or two, but the point is that both of them were special exams and not regularly scheduled ones), then there is course card distribution day, of course, to talk about but again I will be postponing that (just as I had skipped over some pending topics in the student version) to talk about a few of the more recent happenings that I wanted to be able to give a lot of detail to because they are fresh.

In this case I want to talk about the college faculty workshop that we just had.

First of all, the executive vice president talked about the possibility of having multi-disciplinary practicum or theses projects for the fourth-year students.

Some of these he had linked to the several of the system president's projects in line with the upcoming centennial celebration of the school's foundation in the Philippines, such as the one million trees goal to be planted by all of the students, employees and alumni.

The EVP, whose academic specialization is neural networks, also listed some of his pet projects, like graphical maps that show objects that are related being clumped together, and going through a "line" between to seemingly non-related objects to see how they are connected, much like the network linkage in those friend sites.

We also had an open forum - brought about by the recent student-centered education seminar - with the most recent observations and complaints about the students (such as plaigarism, which strangely enough, everyone attributed to the students not caring or trying to see how far they can push the teacher instead of merely on common laziness and working on the eleventh hour), and some ways we may be able to curb them next school year, like repeated information about the class and school policies both inside and outside the classroom.

I will detail these suggestions more (and what I think of them)next time.
