Littelfuse Test

I gave my Littelfuse students a test.

What makes a good teacher?

What does make a good teacher? Is a good teacher an entertainer? Is a good teacher full of qualifications? Here is a Will Wilkinson blog entry on the topic I found interesting. Look at the comments as well.

In the entry, I came across this provocative statement: Teaching should be open to anyone with a pulse and a college degree—and teachers should be judged after they have started their jobs, not before. There are things that can be said in support of this. In the time I have been able to hire people, I have looked at character and personality more than experience.

I am doing a speakers' corner at Seagate during their lunchtime. The topic: Questions you would ask famous people. The simplest topics can generate the best conversation if you ask the proper questions.

Seagate, a manufacturer of Hard Drives, is our biggest corporate client, and is keeping us very busy these days.

New Trainer arrives this afternoon.

We have a new trainer arriving this afternoon from Brisbane, Australia. We welcome Harry Moore to the HyLite team of foreign trainers.

Lite On Golf Event 3

It was standing room only as spectators watched the putting tournament.

I didn't have much advice to offer the participants but I kept accurate scores.

Below, the tournament champion sinks the tournament's final putt. He was disappointed to learn that I was exaggerating when I announced a million rmb prize for the winner.

But the world will know Paul won the tournament because of this blog.

Lite On Golf Event 2

Before the tournament, yours truly had to give a little lecture...

And a demonstration. I didn't have the heart to tell them, I was at least a 40 handicap.

Lite On Golf Event 1

HyLite held a Golf Event for our Lite On corporate students Friday night.

Something amused them.
