If I was to do anything in front of the class (i.e exercises or tutorial) it would be okay for me but only if I am well prepared. I am so embarrassed today. My lecturer just pointed at me and asked me to do a derivation of formula. Trust me; you don’t wanna know what the formula is. He first asked us to pass up the assignment he gave yesterday.
Okay first, I(we) didn’t know that it was an assignment. Secondly, I was 5 minutes late and the first thing I knew when I entered the class was the tutorial is needed to be passed up that time. He(my lecturer) was away then to get some coffee. To make things worst, I just knew that my answers were wrong. So it left me no choice but to just copy from my friend.
Zack (my classmate) was the first victim. Zack gave me a ride to class and he’s late too and technically, he did the same thing as me, copying other people’s work. He then was asked to re-do the assignment question at the board in front of the class but unfortunately Zack was unable do it because Mr. Hafidz did not allow him to bring any reference papers in front.
After asking few of my classmates to try and solve the question in front , he then proposed another method of solving the question which is by deriving another formula.
I was sitting at the front table, and he pointed at me..
“Okay, the guy in blue. How can you find T ”, he mumbled( as he always do).
I was shocked coz I didn’t expect him to ask me that.
“Isn’t that ‘T’ is supposed to be the ‘T1’ ? ”, I replied with hesitation.
Mr. Hafidz: Which ‘T’ do you mean? Okay go in front and show your working.
I went blanked. You have no idea how much I hate this. I however just went in front and show him what the constant value is and what the unknown variable is. HENTAM lah that’s all I know. But still I’m so embarrassed coz at that point of time I know nothing and it’s very obvious that I looked nervous.
Somehow, it’s a good thing that it’s not only me who’s in the same shoes with Zack.
