The one after Dashain - Seventh Class

-

How did the class go?

It was the first logic class after Dashain Festival. Due to the festival, I was not in any mood to take the class today. However, I did join the class to my friends presenting on the topic of fallacies. This reminded me that we were discussing fallacies just before the vacation. 

I was feeling lazy and was not actively listening to my friends, rather was letting the presentation play in the background; perks of an online class. 

After their presentation ended, Eak sir asked us about the reflection on the presentation by our classmates. He then wrapped up the class early which was exactly what I was hoping for because I was in no mood to attend a full 2 hours lecture. 

My Reflection

Since it was the first class after vacation, I was feeling lazy to participate actively. I did chime in my opinions when sir had asked for reflection but was not an honest one.

First Physical Class - Ninth Class

-
How did the class go? Today was my first physical class of  Logic. I was bedridden due to Jaundice and have missed the previous two physical classes. My friends told me those two classes were fun because the lectures were short and Eak sir had some interesting games to engage the class throughout. This made me raise my expectations about the class I was about to attend.  The class started with a few failed attempts to get the projector working. Eak sir inquired on whose turn it was to present on which he was responded with the argument going on in our previous online classes as well; Eak sir should teach the topic first before students were asked to present.  Since no one had prepared the presentation, the teacher divided us into group of 2 and asked us to brainstorm on the question 'Is it necessary for an Individual to get formal knowledge about Logic to become good Logician?'  Me and my partner Darpan decided that it is not necessary for an individual to get formal knowledge

Languages and their function - Eight Class

-
   How did the class go? Today, there was a bit of confusion in the class about who was to present. Some students were asking the teacher to give a lecture on the topic first before asking for anyone to present. Since no one was ready with their presentation, Eak sir decided to start a new topic ‘The Uses of Language’. As usual, the teacher asked us our understanding of the topic of Language. He askes us what language is and how languages are different. After gathering general ideas such as language is a means to communicate, Eak sir then started the discussion on the types of words and types of sentences.  He also shared his way of understanding the types of words which I was not able to grasp due to a poor internet connection. My Reflection I was disinterested by the argument of my classmates on whether the teacher should teach the topic first before asking any students to present. For me, student presentation on any topic and teacher's feedback to add any missing points was a we

Riddles, Science and Experience - Fifth Class

-
 How did the class go? Due to the internet issues, I was a little late to join the class. As I joined, I found out Eak sir had presented some riddles and my classmates were providing answers as well as the logic via which they reach the conclusion. It must have been a fun session but I had missed the major portion of it.  Then began the presentation by classmates in which they covered the topic about value of science, scientific and unscientific explanations along with their differences, scientific inquiry, experiments ad hoc hypothesis and such. I had not slept well that day so I dozed off while the presentation was going on. (Both pro and cons of the online class) When I woke up startled, Eak sir then handed over the screen to all of us and asked us to speak about any notable point in the presentation or ask questions. In desperate hope of saving myself from embarrassment, I quickly went through the topic that had been presented and came up with a good enough question.  Eak sir then
