EX1: Playing Table Tennis (1/2) • A play ground at Building 2 • I can’t play it at all in the beginning • Prof. Chang says “Playing table tennis well is a process of doing research.” • And what he further adds? http://mail.nhu.edu.tw/~shihhsin/
EX1: Playing Table Tennis (2/2) • Benefits: • To know people at playing it • I even play it when I was in oversea • Championship http://mail.nhu.edu.tw/~shihhsin/
EX2: People Asked: What is your research? • My research is doing “scheduling problems.” • I won’t go through the details. • Instead, I will: • Give the most relevant scheduling problems he/she knows. • Discover a lot of examples they can understand! • PS: Our life is also a scheduling problem ; ) http://mail.nhu.edu.tw/~shihhsin/
EX3: Cooking • I can’t cook anything by 2007/9. • Research ability saves my life in UK! • Have a big fun in cooking. http://mail.nhu.edu.tw/~shihhsin/
