I found out dat my fren ( Dada the cat) has post some comments abt the lecture notes.
I agree with wat she said. Thumbs up*
This is wat she typed.
I AM FUCKING PISSED MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay. i'm done. feeling better now after typing all that. esp. having it in caps and bolding it.ok... there are some (most, actually) english grammar mistakes or misconstruction of sentences in the lecture notes. i modified or most precisely, IMPROVISED the definitions in proper english so that it is easier to understand.
1st:
It's Acoustic Performance. not Acoustical. never in my life have i ever heard that before. till now.
2nd:
Economical needs. hey, i'm just particularr.
3rd:
Behavioural mapping and photography. no such thing as photographing.
4th:
One-way escape: 15m (30m if sprinklered) -- and other points similar.
It's if sprinklers are fixed. again, no such thing as 'sprinklered'.
5th:
First cost saving (???) doesn't make any sense. Cost saving, yes it does make sense.
6th:
Same slide. 'Improved' should be 'Improve'. It's kinda like saying, before it improved on the corporate performance for open space planning. now, it doesn't. singlish. grammatical error. open space planning can still be found in most offices, and it does improve on the corporate performance. cos if it doesn't, no point in learning it, right...?
7th:
Poor ergonomics for continuous tasks.
8th:
Inadequate space/furniture for tasks.
9th:
No consideration for people with special needs. Just having a point with 'special needs' stated is too ambiguous.
10th:
Poor wayfinding instead of wayfinding poor.
11th:
High density/nor breaks of people group (?????????????) i'm not psychic.
12th:
Bringing in personal objects instead of brought in personal objects.
13th:
Vasolidation and sweating against hot; Vasoconstriction and shivering against cold. again, too AMBIGUOUS.
14th:
Skin temperature. not temperatures.
15th:Local convective cooling of the body. It depends on... Please, add the it if there's a full stop. or else, you won't know what is being talked about.
16th:
Cooling or heating parts of the body by radiation. one 'of' is enough.
17th:
Having cold feet and a warm head... Lazy to explain.
18th:
Hot or cold feet, caused by... add the 'caused' lah...(this is the last and 19th one that REALLI ticked me off)
19th:
The lecture notes definition:
PMV-index (Predicted Mean Vote) - predicts the mean value of the thermal sensation in that environment of the subjective ratings of a group of people in a given environment. The PMV scale is a seven-point thermal-sensation scale ranging from -3 (cold) to +3 (hot), where 0 represents the thermally neutral sensation.
how many ofs is needed in one frigging sentence ah...? how can i understand!? i'm not a pro lah...
My definition:
PMV index, or Predicted Mean Vote predicts the mean value of the thermal sensation, considering the subjective ratings of a group of people in a given environment. The PMV scale is a seven-point thermal-sensation scale; ranging from -3 (cold) to +3 (hot), where 0 represents the thermally neutral sensation.
so damn easier to understand lor...!!!
20th:
Lecture notes definition:
PPD - index (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) - predicts how many people are dissatisfied in a given thermal environment. In the PPD - index people who vote -3,-2,+2,+3 on the PMV scale are regarded as thermally dissatisfied.
singlish.
My definition:
PPD index, or Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied predicts the percentage of people dissastised with the conditions of the thermal environment. In the PPD index, the number of people who voted -3 (cold), -2 (cool), +2 (warm) and +3 (hot) on the PMV scale are considered as thermally dissastisfied.
wah lau... can't believe i bother enough to type out all the mistakes in the lecture notes. and those are only SOME of the mistakes from chapter 1 to chapter 3. anyways, going to bed now. feeling awfully tired to get pissed off with this kind of crap. well, at least i can look on the bright side now. At least i can now understand the terms and definitions easier. Well, good luck for your quiz.
Seriously.
L0ls This is how she react after reading all the lectures notes.
What i gonna asked is that:" dada, u nvr concentrate during lecture?"
