MCQ Week πŸ“—πŸ“–πŸ“•

 The first MCQ exam was philosophy and it went well. To be honest I am attending an exam after a small gap and was a little scared. Later, we had Joju sir's class, sir completed the presentation on 'Role of Teacher in the Digital Era'.

The second exam was psychology and the questions were very easy. We had Deepthi ma'am's class after the exam and we discussed about the behaviorism. I've heard a couple of times about Pavlov's experiment with his dog Bierka (which ma'am forgot during the class πŸ˜‰) in movies and series (The Office, Big Bang Theory) but never thought I'll have to learn about it.  

The third exam was 'Technology' and it went well. Later we had physical education class where sir demonstrated Shalabhasana, Noukasana and Dhanurasana.

The third exam was an optional subject and we all did pretty well. Later ma'am discussed about constructivist lesson plan.

The fourth and final MCQ tests were for optional subjects. Fortunately, all the exams went well and like that we have come to the end of first semester

Day 31 of Online Classes

 Today was the logo release and inauguration of the social science association. They have chosen the name 'ഐക്ΰ΄― ' which means to become one. The name is a good reminder for these times where the world is divided in the name of religion, caste, race, resources etc.  The chief guest was Arya Rajendran, the  mayor  of Trivandrum and is the youngest (22 years) to hold that position. Felicitations were expressed by singers Mrs. Veena Haridas and Mr. Ravishankar. The surprising fact was that there were almost 100 participants throughout the program. The effort taken by each and everyone of the class (as well as from other classes) could be seen.  

Coastline Paradox

 Ever wondered how the perimeter of irregular surfaces (like coastlines, borders of a fern leaf) are measured and compared?  For example, let us consider a coastline, you can see that as we zoom in on the picture more irregularities pop up, there is no stage of zooming in where we'll finally reach a straight line. So, if I had to measure the coastline using a 15 cm scale, it'd obviously ignore the small irregularities which lie beyond the scope of a 15 cm scale. If I measure the coastline using a 5 cm scale, then it would accommodate comparatively more irregularities, as a result, the length of the same coastline will be more in this case. This means as the precision of the scale increases the length of the coastline increases. Comparison of coastlines between different regions becomes difficult due to this dilemma. This is known as the 'Coastline Paradox' or 'Richardson effect' and originally the problem was framed as, "How Long is the Coast of Britain?...

Prime Numbers in Nature

 Prime numbers are one of the easiest concepts to understand and learn in Maths. But some of the complex problems in Maths belong to this branch. Never would have imagined an application of prime numbers in nature. Thanks to the book 'Weird Maths: At The Edge of Infinity and Beyond' which introduced me to this along with other weird applications of Maths. There's a particular species type of cicadas found in the US called the Magicicada or the 'periodical cicadas' who stay in their larva for 13 or 17 years. Imagine staying inside for over a decade with no connection to the outside world and coming out in the year 2021. People wearing masks walking all around you, smartphones, oh, the shock!🀯 It is the primality of these numbers which interest the mathematicians. The reasons are quite interesting. As the lifecycle of the prey changes, the population cycle (pattern in the population for a period of time) of their predators also vary due to the change in the availabil...
