Q1:I think that is truth. On the whole, the youngster in this generation, indeed, is inferior to the previous generation. But I think, just like the writer of this article said, 草莓族exist in every generation and situation. However, in this generation, youngsters lose their motivation to strive for their future career since the global recession, the disappointing education system and the strong desire of material life. When the graduators realize that they can not find jobs or a job with high payment, they may be unconfident to themselves and the future. The politicians manipulate the whole educational trend and corrupt the education system. When people do not take diploma seriously, students will lose their momentum to improve themselves. So I think the environment and time background take important role behind this kind of stigma.
Q2:I don’t think those descriptions match my self-identity and realization. Those critics, including without enough compressive resistance stability and perseverance, are because of insufficient working experiences. It can be well-trained after a period working time. Also I think youngster in this generation seems to be more creative and open-minded under the influence of well-developed internet and the comprehensive knowledge resources. They can use more tool than the people in old generation to express themselves and gain knowledge. However, I think youngster in this generation is lacking of moral principles such as respect others and be punctuate. In my opinion, the attitude and how serious we take toward our work are more important than capacity. Learning to keep our promises and being responsible to what we said are always above a perfect diploma.

week6

1. People hate making mistakes and try their best to avoid it. So do I. Usually, when I make mistakes, I will feel frustrated and helpless. Those setbacks often depressed me for a while. However, eventually, I will tell myself that I must find some way to break the deadlock. During the process of figuring out the problems, I will obtain quite a few experiences and knowledge. Also, I can find out my weaknesses and improve them.
2. To me, mistakes just like the symptoms of illness. They can reflect my lack of ability and the disadvantages mine works just like the symptoms can reflect the ill of our bodies. Through making mistakes, we can understand ourselves better and suit the remedy to the case.
3. After listening to Prof. Pausch’s speech, I got some different views when we deal with those so called” setback” and “difficulty”. The idea which impressed me most is that the brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things. The walls exist for those who are not want things badly enough. The outlook did broaden my mind. From now on, whenever I meet some frustration, I can be faithful to myself and faced with problems confidently.

1. The picture is about the sequences and the methods of group learning. First of all, they start with posing questions. And then they have some brainstorm and peer discussion. Finally, they make conclusion and maybe they will do further presentation. The feedback of their performance can be the points of their introspection and the motivation of making improvement.
2. My favorite part of collaborative learning is” generating multiple perspectives”. Through this process, many innovative ideas will be inspired and it can make the group member closer. While expressing our own thoughts, we can feel a sense of ac achievement. At the same time, we can broaden our mind through learning and accepting other’s opinions.
3. I think the most difficult part of group learning is “making informed decision.” It’s hard for all the group members being in tune with one another since not everyone is tolerant enough. When everyone all want to have their idea be adopted, there is a hard time to make conclusion. Especially, some group members tend to be dominative and then control the whole group. Thus, some thoughts may be buried.
4. When I was in senior high school, we have a team for a presentation about classical Chinese literature. During the process of brainstorming and concluding, we did meet a lot of difficulties and have some quarrels. However, we learned from these discord and the group members’ opinions became my experiences.
