The last class of this semester was extremely brilliant and joyful as I expected.  It was truly an impressive class for everyone involved.

It was also the fourth time for students to deliver a speech of their individual concepts and group concepts on stage.  I don’t know if students now can distinguish the difference between them.  We’ve spent two weeks discussing about group concept, and spent the other two weeks on individual concept.  I think it’s easier for students to deliver individual ideas after group discussion, because they could use the knowledge that shared by other classmates.  It also helps to eliminate their distractions and indecisive thoughts in the early stage of creative concept.

I did see the progress and efforts that my students have accomplished.  Their design did reach my anticipation, but it would be better if they add in more creativity.  I was kind of surprised by the amazing amount of design they made.  Congratulations to everyone! You’ve made great progress.  Practice makes perfect, so keep on practicing and one day you will reach your goal.  Although we arranged design courses in the last four classes this semester, I believe it didn’t affect students who were working on their artworks. Just do it step by step and keep it going!

Within less than three hours, we did many things, including a course on design, a bazaar, a collection of exhibits and a small award ceremony.  We actually did many things together at the same time. I saw the efficient team works of students and everyone was highly cooperative with each other, just like what they always did through 18 classes in this semester.  I felt very appreciated and honored seeing this.

In fact, it’s like a microcosm of lifetime learning.  24 teachers worked together and built the opportunity of learning compassion and wisdom.  It pushed students to eliminate bias and allowed them to work in harmony. It’s not a simple thing to do, but we made it!

Best of luck to everyone!

See you next semester!
