Punctuation is Powerful

A professor wrote the following on the blackboard: "A woman without her man is nothing." The students were asked to punctuate the phrase.
Some students wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."
Others wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing."
How would you punctuate it?

Laughter is the Best Medicine: Teacher

"If there are any idiots in the room, will they please
stand up?" said the sarcastic teacher.

After a long silence, one freshman rose to his
feet."Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an
idiot?" enquired the teacher with a sneer.

"Well, actually I don't," said the student, "but I
hate
to see you standing up there all by yourself."

Online Hearing Test

Thanks to Daniel Micallef (Year 2 MD) for this free online hearing test. The site also provides some information on hearing, speech and musical instrument acoustics.

Another interesting site regarding hearing: http://www.hear-it.org/

Heart Sounds Tutorial

Another free site with wonderful examples of various normal and abnormal heart sounds with matching physiological explanations. The animations are basic but clear. There is also a testing mode to make sure that you got it. Good revision for Year 3 to 5 students.

Testing, Testing, One, Two, Three...

You should by now be testing yourselves regularly to make sure that the material you are covering is moving from short-term to long-term memory. This website will help you do that by asking you to match structures to their name, and then label them yourself. Fifteen minutes each day should do the trick. Try it!
