An Applause Is Deserved For Educators

We meet again readers :)

I guess everyone has their own favorite teacher/lecturer. Well, I have too. His name is Mr. Alan Cheah Kah Hoe. He is the lecturer of UNITEN.

This great man was my lecturer for the subject Basic Skills for Knowledge Worker (CMPF124) during my foundation year and also for the subject Statistics for Computing (CGNB293) in my last semester.

What I like about him is his teaching style. He's not the type of lecturer that comes into the class and then talk, talk and talk until the class end. He's not the boring type. He usually crack a joke during his lecture time. It is always fun to be in his class.

Even though he is a funny person, he is serious about the studies. It can be seen by the punishment he invented in his class called 'Sin Bin'. Okay, the Sin Bin works like this. He will put a chair in front of the class. Then, if he caught someone talking or playing with their mobile phone, he will call that someone to sit on that chair. Lol! It is always fun to see someone being called to be on that chair, but you can see clearly the objective of the punishment there. He wants his students to focus in his class!

The other thing that I like in his class is the challenge he always give to the students. I still remember the challenge he offered to my class for the subject CMPF124. It was on our midterm exam. He offered us the 'Double Dare' which means each question you got right, 2 marks. If you got it wrong, -2 marks but if you don't answer the question, 0 mark. So, students who are interested can take the challenge. In my opinion, he makes learning much more interesting.

I will never forget about him even when I have graduated from UNITEN. He is going to be a legendary in UNITEN.
