批判性思考

前幾天上「心理與人生」
老師要求同學在課堂上做一個計時三十分鐘的性向測驗
測一個心理學家做設計出來
用來測試應試者「批判性思考」的能力
這個測驗指出批判性思考大致上可分為五種能力
演譯 (Interpretation),分析 (Analysis),評量 (Evaluation),推論 (Inference),解釋 (Explanation)
當然自我調整 (Self-regulation)也是批判性思考的一環
但是那個測驗沒有測到這項(很難測吧)

這個測驗的題目有有點少(40題吧,印象中)
台科大歷屆選修這門課的同學平均分數是27分
標準差是4
意思是大部的人都落在23~31之間
取樣空間兩百多人

我很認真作答
結果是33分
嗯...或許我的批判性思考能力還ok
或許大部分的人都是隨便作答

換句話說,我對文字龜毛的程度在這兩百多人中屬於偏高的那一群......



最近轉SOHO了
公司會定期Assign一項或多項工作
然後會針對每項工作按雙方同意的時間給 Pay
計價方式是以每小時新台幣(消音)元計算
有比以前多
但是時薪換算下來會不會真的達到那個數字倒是未知
Anyway,我還算滿滿意這樣的工作方式
之前在公司做的時候
都是每天或是每幾個小時就被 Assign一些鎖碎的小工作
然後還會有人三不五時過來催(話說那個人現在也不在了)
思緒會一直被打斷
花在 Coding 跟修改的時間比 Design 的時間多n倍

這樣可以花比較多時間(零碎的時間)先做 Design
靈感來了可以先把它記下來
等到雛型出來,有時間再去 Implement
就像平常在做專題跟作業一樣!

Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This lover’s day was my 42nd single valentine’s day, ha ha. In Taiwan, we have two lover’s days every year. It’s supposed to be very easy to spend a lover’s day with a lover if we spend half year on the same person. However, it seems that I haven’t had any romantic relationship with a girl long enough to celebrate the Valentine’s days. I won’t talk about how many girlfriends I have in my life here since I don’t know either. Not because there are too many girls in my life, but because there are too little girls in my life, maybe about 4, and I can’t tell which of those relationships are romantic ones or which are merely kind-of-affair ones. According to my brain cells can tell me, I have kept my life single, quite, peaceful, steady, and solitary for more than 3 years. All right, to be honest, in my adolescence, not including those junior high school years, technically, I have only escaped from single club once, and it wasn’t longer than one month. That because I am busy at taking care those things I do really care – or I have no choice but taking care my own business. Thanks to that no girls are interested in me. That leaves me a lot of time to deal with myself, to develop myself, to know myself, and to enjoy spending time with myself. Nonetheless, the truth is, as human always do, I also feel lonely periodically. And the worst thing is that this kind of emotions is unavoidable. Considering my experiences and the man I seem to be, if luckily I don’t die in a near future due to karoshi or acute fulminating hepatitis, it’s most likely that I will have more nights to enjoy my solitude. I should’ve deepened and widened my hobbies, and I shall do, that could be my New Year resolution every year.

新年快樂

祝大家新年快樂


發生了一件很囧的事...

回到我的小房間後,打開電腦收email,我才發現我們公司也是12號才開工,結果我10號晚上就跑回台北了...

我等半天沒等到275,就從台科走回住的地方,拖著我的行李箱走福和橋,還走到台北富邦要去自動存款機存錢,結果不能用...


早點回台北也好,本來計到要在年假看完 The Lord of The Rings -- The Fellowship of the rings (魔戒 I 英文版)跟Disign Patterns for Dummies的,結果只有魔戒翻了幾頁,DP4D只翻了第一章...

HBO、AXN、Cinemax、Star Movies、東森洋片台陪我過了初一到初四...

天氣冷,整個很不願意離開房間,只想窩在被窩看電影...

如果不用上班上課,每天只要躲在被窩發爛多好啊(整個宅...)

尾牙

尾牙去吃「出一張嘴」,感覺不錯
有吃飽...

還有紅包跟摸彩
雖然年終不多獎品也不是什麼貴重的東西
但是奇摩子還不錯
至少有在聽員工的心聲辦了尾牙而不是本來要辦的春酒


大家輪流講新年新希望的時候我很誠實地說:「希望每天都不用加班。」

哈哈哈...

961

96學年度第一學期,我在台科的第三學期

這個學期不同於其它學期的地方在於

我發現了除了 Reading 及 Coding 以外的另一個嗜好,Writing


這學期的專業我只修了兩門:資訊安全(都在講密碼學)跟行動計算

這兩門課我這學期幾乎都沒什麼在唸...囧
資訊安全六次作業跟行動計算的兩次作業都是在前一天晚上才爆肝在寫
資訊安全的專題也是花了三、四天晚上下班後爆肝 Coding

而行動計算就更慘了,期末考前一天睡到六點爬起唸唸作業就就去考試了
期末的Paper討論報告是花一晚爆肝 K Paper兼做投影片...
下課的時候還被教授約談
因為學校搞什麼工程認證的關係
所以系上要關心一下為什麼我在這門課的表現不佳(因為沒時間沒力氣準備...)

專題的期末報告被教授退了兩次,第三次才簽名讓我們過
前兩次報告做得的確很爛沒錯,如果能拿那份最終的報告去推甄,說不定就可以上台清了....
(為什麼當初書面不好好做....)

最後,專題90,資訊安全84,行動計算75...(這門課沒有被當真該感謝教授仁慈)


這學期我另外修了五門英文課:國級職能認證英文高級班(92)、美國流行文化(89)、英語會話(95)、創意寫作(94)、英文寫作(95)
其中流行文化、會話跟創意寫作是外籍師資

嗯...我好像唸錯系了......


比較有趣的地方是
創意寫作前後有兩位外籍老師
他們說我文章寫的不錯,第一位說她喜歡我的 Style(我的文章有什麼Style我自己都不知道,到現在還是不個道)
英文寫作的老師她也滿欣賞我的文章
這種是我還真是第一次聽到(難道我的英文文筆比中文好?)
不知道是我的英文文筆真的不錯,還是他們只是想鼓勵我(後者的可能性較高)
不管怎樣,把 Writing當興趣來培養也不錯...

話說回來,我記得我國中的時候也還滿愛寫東西的樣子
愛寫一些無病申吟的東西
國中的時候還買了一本日記,只有寫過幾頁
之後再寫就是專一暑假時的事
專一暑假那時候會寫是因為剛從跨校合辦的社團幹部訓練(三天兩夜百人大聯誼?)回來
喜歡一個學姊(當然是對方學校的學姊,明志只有學長)
常跟她聊即時通(那是一個 MSN 還沒有取代即時通的年代)
所以寫那本日記來錄一些有趣的對話紀錄(好吧,對我而言是有趣的)
還有一些在心裡面沒有送出去的 OS
不過這種自以為浪漫的舉動在那個夏天就結束了

之後又開始寫東西,大概是創 Blog 之後的事了
創 Blog 是想寫一些讀書心得(嚴格說來應該是摘要,我不太會寫心得,唉)
還有寫一些 Memo,一些關於自己的事(畢竟人最關心的還是自己)
不過我很懶,很少更新
反正只是寫給自己看的也不需要太積極(有其他人在看嗎?)


大學只剩一個學期
是該把握時間多培養一些興趣的時候了......

Spend Time With One or Two Close Friends or With a Large Number of Friends

This is the final exam topic of English Composition.


“Some people prefer to spend time with one or two close friends. Others choose to spend time with a large number of friends. Compare the advantages of each choice. Which of these two ways of spending time do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answers.”


To spend time with a large number of friends has the advantages of more funs, and less complaints shared among people. On the other hand, to spend time with one or two friends has the advantages of being more touched and being much closer to each other than the former choice. When we hang out with a large number of friends, we seldom talk about our bad moods or our difficult situations, we are ashamed to share or open ourselves too much to a big amount of people. That means we do not have to suffer others’ problems, and we also have to deal with our problems alone. If we do not share the most concerned thoughts of others, we will not be able to come closer; we will not know each other better. However, we will have more funs. If we are with a large amount people, we tend to become happier, or easy to get high. We are ashamed to act too wild when we are alone or when we are with only a few friends. But being with a crowed of people can free us from our self-restrictions. On the contrast, when we get along with one or two close friends, we can talk everything, every tough stuffs head in our lives. We can share the things which are not going in our expected ways to friends. Those friends will stand with us; they will help us or saying something to comfort us. That makes us feel better. We might have more funs and act more wildly that usual when we spend time with a large amount of friends, but after the joyful period, we have to face our problems alone and no one understand what we are suffering. When I am going to celebrate a special event, such as New Years Eves, I prefer to spend it with a large number of friends since I do not want to ruin others happy moods, and others will not ruin mine, too. Most of time, I prefer to spend time with one or two close friends. I think sharing our things deeper can help us develop better friendship. Most of all, few close friends are the best treasure in life, thus I prefer to develop friendship with few close friends than a large mount of general friends or strangers.
