I thought "well, after graduating from high school means I might at least enjoy some freedom?"
The real thing is just the opposite!
Though I grumble a lot of my homework given by seniors during the tuition in my high school, I realized that I am doing the right thing.
Perhaps by doing some homework, I will learn something new and also benefit my time than wasting it for unnecessary routine of scrolling for new updates in Facebook.
Furthermore, my curiosity doesn't ends there!
I also spend some time joining the massive free online courses provided by many famous universities in Coursera! Credits to my beloved additional mathematics teacher, Pn. Hoe for introducing it to all of us in our class!
I've signed up and enrolled in few courses that hooked up my interest. For example, I've been trying out the Calculus One course by The Ohio State University and it is FUN and easy! The tutor team made it so well by preparing useful, resourceful and interactive video for the better understanding of the students! Moreover, they have invented the Mooculus website to enable students practice their mathematics understanding.

Other than that, I've enjoyed attending the lesson Fundamentals for Human Nutrition (probably because I have some interest in dietitian and starved to get to know more about how we can care for health in the most simplest ways!). In this course, you will learn about how to use the online food tracker tools and website to record and calculate your daily calorie levels at a daily basis. For example, livestrong.com. And as a plus, you can get to know whether you are eating adequate amount of essential nutrients and be a diet counsellor!
Critical thinking skill is also a must-have skill nowadays, especially teenagers like me as more and more employee and boss likes young workers that have a piece of mind including the rushing adrenaline that is unbeatable sometimes. So, to be one of them and to invest yourself, you should also try out the Critical Thinking in Global Challenges free course by The University of Edinburgh.
In conclusion, if you are the fan of biology and life sciences, you might want to discover the courses such as Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach, Introductory Human Physiology, Synapses,Neurons & Brain and Medical Neuroscience. However, if you are the business-typed, you can search for Developing Innovative Ideas for New Companies, Grow to Greatness: Smart Growth for Private Business and Foundation of Business Strategy.
Now, go to Coursera and use your time to the fullest!
I'm really glad that you're finding Calculus One to be fun!
ReplyDeleteSir, I felt so honoured that you came across my blog! A BIG THANK YOU to you and the whole team in Calculus One! I really enjoyed the Calculus One that you are conducting and it is one of the MOST joyful learning mathematics lessons I ever participate! I treasure and appreciate this oppurtunity a lot for it is very RARE for a teenage like me to be able to learn some real calculus here in MALAYSIA (a small Asia country) without joining the universities or paying HIGH expensive fees. Love it and keep up the good work!
DeleteYou're very welcome! It's certainly been a lot of fun for us to produce the content and for us to talk to everybody taking the course.
