Some Kind Of Bliss

Today there wasn't any class but we had to do some forum discussion on Ole for our attendance to be marked.

I posted a reply on Boolean operators, saying how they may be useful, but time consuming to construct a search query with. I also added that as not all search facilities may understand Boolean operators, it doesn't really pay to get too use to them.

I feel Ole forums is a good way for the lecturers and fellow classmates to monitor each other's progress and understanding. Sharing our views is also good as one person may see the same thing differently as the other. And it is good to know what other are thinking.

However, I feel that face-to-face discussions in class are more appropriate and gets answers immediately if everyone is receptive. Sure beats refreshing the screen and waiting for replies.

I felt this exercise was not as meaningful as it was supposed to be. Since most were doing it only to get an attendance mark. I feel perhaps it coiuld be tuned so that students may learn and not have a chance to slack off! P/s Saying this from experience!
