Third day in class Aesthetics Design

In this morning, suddenly raining heavily, in a cold situation, of course dint affect anything to continue my classes. Today, what i learned is about Tabula Rasa introduced by John Locke.
In theory Tabula rasa, Dr Tan using rubric for measuring creativity. What is Rubric? In this like it would can explain anything (http://www.ascd.org/publications/books/112001/chapters/What-Are-Rubrics-and-Why-Are-They-Important%C2%A2.aspx). 

Sample of Tabula Rasa

Second, that is step of leaning english. That have 4 level of learning english. The first level is learn basic of english like example alphabet, 800 vocabulary, and grammar. Level 2 that is skills, we have 2 skills to learn english that is passive and active. Passive means reading and listening. Active means speaking and writting. Level 3 (ESP) English for specific purposes like example arts and design. The last level is culture. When we stay in others country from asian to western , normally we will also can speak a good english.  Those level called Norm- referenced assessment. Means that assess performance by comparing one to his or her peers example MUET exam.

Today, Dr Tan suddenly ask us challenge to drawing himself in one minute and pass up to him. All of us rushing to drawing his face and pass up to him, seriously that is really ugly. That have 3 result come out that is A, B and C.  Have 17 people get result A, 23 people get B and 16 people get C. However, Dr Tan call us drawing him again in 2 minutes then pass up, surprise is we can draw more probably compare the first time , All of people get result A and B. WHY, Dr tan suddenly give us this challenge? Actually Dr Tan want share to us is what is Ipsative assessment.  Ipsative assessment means assess' one performance by comparing his or her current performance to the past performance.

This is what i learned today from my classes. Thank you

Second times writting blogger ( Aesthetics Design)

Today is my second times write blogger here. Same title today that I'm talking about Aesthetics Design.  Today in classes, Prof Dr, Tan Wee Hoe share a lot of things to us like what is creativity and innovative. Before i wanna start my main topic, i wanna introduce one men that is Tony Buzan.
Few days ago he visited mine university, this is the proud things happen in my university. Tony Buzan is a mine mapping teacher. BSM invited him to deliver a talk on creativity in teaching and learning. Some more, his fees was RM7500 per hour for speech. Additionally, he limited the number of participants to maximum 200 per person.

Finally, lets start today what i learned from Dr Tan. What is creativity?  When discuss about creativity, our mind will flow out many words like imagine, creates a new things that dint have in this earth or crazy things. Well, being creative means creating something out of nothing. 

What is innovative? Actually that is easy, innovative means that transforming something to become better. In long time ago, Tony Buzam have an idea to measure creativity. This is the key words for creativity like example: NEW, NOVEL, ORIGINAL, UNUSUAL and DIFFERENT FROM EXISTING IDEA. Today lessons I really have learned many things. And I have know who is Tony Buzam.

First Day Class Aesthetics Design

22/2/2017 Wednesday

Hello, everyone, my name is Chow Chan Chong, everyone who know me will call me Patrick Chow.
This pages is my first page for writting about Aesthetics Design. Every week after when I finish my class Aesthetics Design I will write out today's what happening in classes.In daily life I impossible will write blogger. Why I suddenly write blog about Aesthetics Design? That is because this is my assignment given by my lectural Prof Tan. Prof Tan is a good lectural, in my heart , others people I don't know. He likes to chat with us before class start like today almost 1 hour. I know the reason why he chatting, because Aesthetics Design class is full of theories. The important is class start at 8 o clock morning. Just only wake up from the bed. For our new generation students sure is boring, that's y he always will share his story to us to refresh our mind. Today he brief us about assignment 1 and 2. The first assignment is what i doing now. Yup, write a blogger. Seriously, i try to enjoy it.  The second assignment is by group, must be finish by 4 students. In this assignment, lectural will some art project like example:  A painting, handcraft, or a game design to let us comment and write a report about how to let those design or project become more attract and perfect. First classes have finish. I really excited for the next lesson.
