【留學甘苦】正中要害

Hit the nail right on the head

這是今早小婆收到莎拉回覆的 e-mail 中學到的

拜鄙得森教授之賜外加小婆雞婆刀馬旦的個性
小婆和莎拉竟產生如「拜把兄弟」一樣的情誼

>.^

上個週末一份課程評鑑（Course Evaluation）小婆《左右為難》不知如何下筆（或者該說滑動滑鼠點選答案）！

然而不填寫這份課程評鑑就沒法子連上學校網路去看鄙得森教授對上週作業給的 Assignment Instruction。

天啊～不看還好，一看更不得了！
因為更搞不清楚鄙得森教授到底要我們交些什麼？

小婆愈來愈佩服鄙得森教授！

一件簡單明瞭的事情，可以寫得如此錯綜複雜。

連莎拉（白人）和自稱是 Wordsmith（擅長文字、舞文弄墨者）的羅伯特，都對他的 Assignment Instruction or Direction 搞得暈頭轉向，那小婆這個非英語系國家背景的，更不用字字推敲、句句解析，試圖去理解鄙得森教授的原意－－白努力。

從來往的電子郵件中搞清楚了－－

莎拉和小婆的結論是根據 Syllabus 的指示寫作業
別管鄙得森教授「風馬牛不相及」的 instruction

別被他牽著鼻子走！

這種傢伙也可以當叫獸？ Orz

Hi, S and R:

I still can't finish my course evaluation.
Do I have to tell the TRUTH or just say WORLD PEACE?
May I know what your evaluation strategies are?

Many thanks.

Hi,

I know what you mean. I answered somewhat truthfully. I was not completely pleased with the course or course instructor. They both need improvement in clearer communication and better focus when presenting in-class material. I didn't go too ballistic as I would still like to get the A or B I deserve for the hard work and time/money that I put into the class. :)

Cheers - have a good weekend!

R

Hi,

I am in the same boat that I can't log in because I haven't posted the eval. I am being brutally honest in my eval. If we don't express our concerns they will never be addressed and students next semester will suffer the same problems.... Just the way I see it.

Hope all is well!!
S

忍一時海闊天空，
海有多大，天就有多大，
別跟自己的分數過不去。

雖然有點鄉愿，
地球是圓的，有一天妳還可以報仇，
也許有一天，是別人替妳報仇。
我是這麼覺得。

●這個世界上有正義感的人常常是最倒楣的人
　享受漁翁之利的都是躲在卡卡角陰笑的傢伙
　小婆直來直往有話就說的個性只適合
　～～頻道接近的人
　那隻鄙叫獸不值得小婆浪費正義感
　小行的意思是－－

　趕快拿到分數要緊)))))))))))))))

　鄙叫獸就留給詛咒去對付就好了。

　^＿～

＝＝＝ A's comments ＝＝＝

My suggestion for AMBA6XXC:

1. Revise the syllabus as needed and prepare the face-to-face lectures in advance to communicate clearly.

【翻譯：為能傳達清楚的訊息，課程表需適度地修訂以及事先準備好授課內容。】

2. Focus on the designed syllabus and the presenting in-class material to convey constructive and concise information.

【翻譯：將授課重點集中在已設計好的課程表和所簡報的內容，以提供簡明扼要且具建設性的資訊。】

3. Follow up the assignment grading templates and rubrics, which have been posted on the WebTycho, to comment fairly.

【翻譯：根據已公佈在學校網站的作業評分指示給予公平／公正／公開的評議。】

4. Review the required textbooks in advance or before commenting on students' assignments, such as the five essential conditions (assumptions) in a problem situation for linear programming to pertain (Chase, Jacobs, & Aquilano, 2006, pp. 51-52).

【翻譯：在評審學生作業前，事先復習所規定的教科書內容，例如：線性規劃的五大重要假設。】

5. Update the operations management software, such as TreeAge Decision Analysis Software for decision tree which has been included in the DVD enclosed in the back cover of Operations Management for Competitive Advantage (11th edition).

【翻譯：更新營運管理之應用軟體，例如：決策樹－－該軟體已附在教科書背面的數位光碟內。】

6. Encourage students to present their explanation for the section professor's incomplete or incorrect comments on their assignments and appropriately review and revise his/her comments and grading accordingly to provide the current and correct managerial concepts to students.

【翻譯：針對教授不完整或不正確的評議論點，鼓勵學生表達意見；根據所陳述的事實，適時地重審和修改教授的評語，以教導最新且正確的管理概念。】


感謝 W.T.、Sylvia、任小行、莎拉、羅伯特和小公指點迷津
