Eid mubarak!

 I don't know, is it just me or does anyone else feel like these days time is flying ? This week again we only had four working days as it was Bakrid on Wednesday.


In Ancy ma'am's class we were divided optional wise for group discussion. The Malayalam optionals were the first to do their presentation on 'The University Education Commission'. They did a detailed study on the topic and the presentation was short and informative.

In Joju sir's class we finally decided on the topic for our tool creation. Joju sir always makes it a point to include some current events in his class. This way students who are unaware of theses events will be curious to read more on it.

In Giby ma'am's class we learned about the reasoning, especially inductive and deductive reasoning. I never forced myself to think about these two reasonings beyond Maths. As ma'am and few of the students shared their thoughts, I began to realize that each and every thought or principle in our life is due to inductive or deductive reasoning.

In Maya ma'am's class we discussed about the barriers of communication. the transactional analysis and finally  the topic 'Vidya, Vaidya & Shanti'.

We took our optional hour to discuss about constructivism and the associated lesson plan.

Day 31 of Online Classes

 Today was the logo release and inauguration of the social science association. They have chosen the name 'ഐക്യ ' 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?...

Sports Meet 2022

 Finally, the day is here. We've been scheduling the sports meet for quite some meet. It had to be postponed due to unexpected rains and finally, it was conducted on Sep 12 and 13 soon after the Onam holidays. We had shotput, javelin throw, 50m, 100 m etc. The involvement and participation in the second years were a little low compared to the first years. Events like shot put, javelin throw, 50 m race etc had good participation. The selection of students for the finals of each event was done on the first day. The finals followed by prize distribution were done on the second day. I was supposed to run the100m race but had to pull out due to previous complications in my leg injury. But I got to participate in the march past which was totally unexpected. By the end of the day, we were dead tired from the scorching sun, but it was all worth it.
