PW Public Speaking Workshop

2009-05-19T06:34:00.000-07:00

Dear C1 Students,

These are the finalized dates allocated to your class for PW Public
Speaking Workshop. For those classes not allocated the dates of your
choice, you have the option of doing your workshops in July, but at
a different time (11th July, 18th July from 1330 - 1730). If you
prefer, please look for me personally and I will arrange it for you.

29th August: 09S6A, 09S68, 09S7K, 09S73

What to prepare:

Upon discussion with the vendor, your PW tutors have decided that
the vendor would focus on your oral presentation component of PW as
a PW group. As all of you already have your groupings, it is
therefore necessary that the entire group attends the workshop
together. For students who are unable to make the dates assigned to
your class, you will need to talk to your PW groupmates about it as
the entire group should be changing dates.

When you come for the workshop, come with the material that you have
already gathered for your PW. Have some slides ready, and be ready
to present your work to the trainers that are coming in. The
trainers will then provide you with feedback and they can be quite
critical since all of them are qualified Toastmasters. How effective
and useful the workshop is for you all depends on how ready you are
to treat the workshop seriously and make use of the opportunity that
has been provided for you to run your work through an independent
3rd party.

As with all other core modules, failure to attend will result in the
issue of demerit of points, payment for module and possible
blacklisting for other activities organized by the Affective
Education department. This includes the list of students recommended
for scholarships in the future.

Best Regards,
Miss Chua
(Coordinator/ Student Development)
Affective Education Department

This is something funny

A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.

The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks “What do two plus two equal?” The mathematician replies “Four.” The interviewer asks “Four, exactly?” The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says “Yes, four, exactly.”

Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question “What do two plus two equal?” The accountant says “On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four.”

Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question “What do two plus two equal?” The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says “What do you want it to equal?”

An economist is a trained professional paid to guess wrong about the economy. An econometrician is a trained professional paid to use computers to guess wrong about the economy.

Three econometricians went out hunting, and came across a large deer. The first econometrician fired, but missed, by a meter to the left. The second econometrician fired, but also missed, by a meter to the right. The third econometrician didn’t fire, but shouted in triumph, “We got it! We got it!”

Economics is the painful elaboration of the obvious.

I asked an economist for her phone number and she gave me an estimate.

“I’m thinking of leaving my husband,” complained the economist’s wife. “All he ever does is stand at the end of the bed and tell me how good things are going to be.”

There are two things you are better off not watching in the making: sausages and econometric estimates.
— Edward Leamer

On the first day God created the sun - so the Devil countered and created sunburn. On the second day God created sex. In response the Devil created marriage. On the third day God created an economist. This was a tough one for the Devil, but in the end and after a lot of thought he created a second economist!

--------------------------------

Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists.

--------------------------------

The First Law of Economists: For every economist, there exists an equal and opposite economist.
The Second Law of Economists: They’re both wrong.

We have 2 classes of forecasters: Those who don’t know and those who don’t know they don’t know.
— John Kenneth Galbraith

An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.
— Laurence J. Peter

How can you tell when an economist is lying?
His lips are moving.

They say that Christopher Columbus was the first economist. When he left to discover America, he didn’t know where he was going. When he got there he didn’t know where he was. And it was all done on a government grant.
