- Autobiography Review--Making a world of difference-The Kai-Fu Lee Story_part 2 During Mr. Lee’s Doctoral research, he made a major breakthrough in voice recognition system. In the beginning of this research, he followed his professor’s instruction.However, the accuracy rate was disappointly low, and researchers couldn’t find a way to raise it. After a long contemplation, Mr. Lee decided to use statistics, a brand-new method, to solve the problem. When his professor knew his decision, he said to Lee” I disagree with you, but I support you. In the face of science, nothing is absolutely right or wrong.” Lee was deeply touched by professor’s reaction. His professor provided all the resources Lee needed, his magnanimity was beyond words. Lee said his professor’s attitude and the spirit of ”I disagree with you, but I support you with all my heart” influenced him when he was a leader. Being a leader, to respect employees’ opinions and to support them is so valuable but rare. I believe if leaders became more open-minded, employees would endeavor to their work more. Lee’s father was born in Sichuan Province, China, and he retreated to Taiwan with KMT. His father kept in mind to improve the poverty in China, especially his hometown Sichuan, and kept reminding Lee of his wish.which Lee never forget. Lee often gave speeches in Chinese colleges, to give them suggestions of life, to share state of art computer science researches, educations, meaning of life. Lee also founded a website called 我學網, on which Chinese students can directly write to him, and he responds these letters ,gives them suggestions. His determination to help Chinese students is firm. If Lee’s father had asked him to help Taiwanese students, Taiwanese students would have benefited from him greatly. What a pity! Many people like to ask Lee how to possess the wisdom of choosing. The answer is follow your heart: to repetitively ask yourself, to see further and not be confused by the lures in front of you. Lee’s lifetime moto is” Imagine two worlds, one with you and one without you. What’s the difference between the two worlds? Maximize the difference. That’s the meaning of your life.” I suppose this is his wisdom of choosing.
October 31, 201500 - Autobiography Review--Making a world of difference-The Kai-Fu Lee Story_part1 This autobiography details Kai-Fu Lee's fulfilling and brilliant life. Mr. Lee was born in Taiwan, and at the age of 11, he went abroad to study in the US. Then, he received a bachelor degree in computer science in Columbia University, and a doctoral degree in Carnegie Mellon University. He has worked in Apple, Microsft and Google. In 2009, he decided to quit as Vice president in Google and found innovation works-a company that helps younger generations with start-up bussiness. Beside all the seccesses in his life, Mr. Lee also had frustrations, and he faced them with courage and honesty. In the U.S., college students don’t have to choose their majors in freshman year. For the first 2 years in college, students have to take liberal education courses such as art, history, music philosophy. Through these courses, they grow open-minded, conscious of their opinions and judgments, reflective of their actions; moreover, they can cultivate hobbies. When Mr. Lee was young, he considered politics and math as his favorite, and he planned to study either of them. After having few politics and math courses, he surprisingly found out that he was not fond of neither of them. He soon turned to cumputer science, for which he has great passion in his entire life. Luckily, with the freedom in American college, students are more likely to find their favorite and to change major easily. Taiwan, on the contrary, set strict rules for changing majors. When students choose the wrong major, they can hardly change majors.
October 31, 201500 - Book Review-teach for the future_part2 The second step is to assign by the student, and there are several advantages of it. For example, by teaching students how to design questions , teachers can embed the knowledge in students mind; students make effort to design good problems in order to impress peers; they don't copy homework anymore. The final step is to grade by the student, which means teachers need to let go their power of grading students. In the past, teachers were respectful and strict, students obeyed them and cared about their opinions. Nowadays, teachers' status has changed, and students care more about peers' opinion than teacher's. As a student,to receive lousy grades from classmates would be such a shame. On the other hand, students also learn when grading. A new era of leaning arrives, people can learn any subject on websites like MOOC and courera at any time anywhere for free. So, our educational system shouldn't remain unchanged. If teachers still regard themselves as lecturers, they could be substituted by online courses. Teachers should guide students, help students to discover new knowledge by themselves. Taiwanese educational system is fossilized. As a Taiwanese who has gone through all these exams, I feel regretful that I failed to learn critical abilities such as building knowledge by oneself. Year by year, children are getting more stressed. However, our competitiveness wouldn't progress if the way of teaching don't change.
October 8, 201500 - Book Review-teach for the future The book-Teach for the future-is about how flipped-classroom learning works and how it influences students learning attitude. It's written by Professor Yeh, an EE professor in NTU. In 2010, Prof. Yeh was awarded the NTU best teaching skill prize(台大教學傑出獎). At that moment, he was so content and he deeply beleived in his flawless teaching skills. However, the day after that, several students nodded off during his class. He was so shocked at the fact that how those students could nod off in such interesting class. He didn't blame the students, on the other hand, he reflected on himself. He finally figured out that what students need is motivation. No matter how good he teaches, students wouldn't be eager to learn without motivation. To create learning motivation is an all-time goal for every teacher! In one course, Prof. Yeh invented "BJT-online", an online game to replace traditional homework. He seperated students into groups. Each team designed problems and solved problems which designed by other teams. The team that solved the most problems wins. This method prevents homework copying and lets students understand textbook theories thoroughly. Pro. Yeh was the first professor who ran presentation and expressing course(簡報製作與表達課) in NTU. He thought that most Taiwanese college students have professional know-hows, but lack of expressing skills. Furthermore, the final grades were given by primary school students, which was a very pioneering decision. And why did he do so? He mentioned that the most difficult presentation in the world is to present to those who are influential but ignorant. Let's get back to the topic. The spirit of flipped-classroom is to learn by the student, assign by the student, grade by the student. Learning by the student is to cultivate the ability of building knowlege by oneself. Unlike traditional teachers, a teacher giving lectures, flipped-classroom teachers assign a problem and then encourage students to use any learning tool they could find to solve it. During the process, students may make mistakes, they may figure out by themselves, teachers can give little help as a guide. Afterward, teachers explain the problem, students would be more impressed when the a-ha moment stikes.
