EX1: Playing Table Tennis (1/2)

A play ground at Building 2

I can’t play it at all in the beginning

Prof. Chang says “Playing table tennis well is a process of doing research.”

And what he further adds?


EX1: Playing Table Tennis (2/2)

Benefits:

To know people at playing it

I even play it when I was in oversea

Championship


EX2: People Asked: What is your research?

My research is doing “scheduling problems.” I won’t go through the details. Instead, I will:

Give the most relevant scheduling problems he/she knows. Discover a lot of examples they can understand!

PS: Our life is also a scheduling problem ; )


EX3: Cooking

I can’t cook anything by 2007/9.

Research ability saves my life in UK!

Have a big fun in cooking.


EX4: How to improve the traffic jams?

A big city may encounter this problem.

At least 10 approaches.

It is your “show time!”


EX5: Programming

Teaching and Applications

Research

C

Java

C++

C#

VB.Net


EX6: 1st Year Teaching at NHU

Something different

We treasure creative ideas
