Polymer Synthesis Quiz

Arrrrgh! I can’t stand an exam or quiz that is mostly memory intensive.

I came across this somewhere:

Some journalists asked Albert Einstein what is the speed of sound. He soundly said he don’t know the answer. The journalists were stunned! Albert was supposed to be the smartest scientist in the world. How can he not know such a simple answer? Albert coolly said, “I don’t memorize stuffs that can be found in the textbook.”

The story that I phrase above is not exactly the same that I read before, but somewhere along the line. You get what I mean?

Exactly! Why must we memorize stuffs that can be found ALL in the notes or textbook. I think it’s a total waste of time. Although I complain about it, I don’t have a solution for it. I bet all those ministers also can’t come out with a good solution. The education system has been the same after so many years.

Yeah, maybe injected some “creative” modules in some of the classes in primary, secondary or JC, but overall is still much the same. :(
