Today is the official Math Special Project meeting day. Dr. Frank, Simon, and me meet at ATC309 at 3:50pm. We disscuss the possibility of finding an euqation with dependent variable 1-B, under fixed M, a, and standard deviation. Dr. Soler did a problem to find equation of N, with given M, Ma and standard deviation. It's simple, but very interesting.

I also started to love Mr. Logvinenko, largely to do with his encouragement of creativity in class. He gave extra points to students whose questions chanllenge his lectures, and also some problems applying theories from the book in different ways. Whay moves me the most was once in class people started laughing when someone asked a real basic question. He was pretty serious, "Stop!Stop!Stop!Why are you laughing at him! You guys pay to learn here and you make sure you learn everything. Questions are good! There may be stupid answers, but there are never stupid questions!"

I was pretty moved by the last sentence. In my accounting class, my professor once said in front of the whole class,"I'm amazed you ask that!" Since then, I remain silent in that class for the entire quarter and felt confined being creative, being an active learner on the basic level. There are no stupid students. Are there stupid teachers? Bad ones, I'm sure there are.
