Blog 8: Prof Chew's last mathematics class for us

    In all my bridging course there is one man standing out
on the horizon of my memory like Mars at perihelion.  Last Friday,
we finished our mathematic curriculum and Prof Chew informed
that we have learned all the math contents of bridging course and
math curriculum came to an end.  Watching the big "END" at the
buttom of the notes, I felt that my heart was touched by
something.
     I still remember the first time I saw Prof Chew.  In

October last year, Prof Chew, representing NUS, came to Xian
Jiaotong University to collect us.  Surprisingly, his clothes were very
old and he looked very ordinary.  Moreover, during the interview,
he was extremely quiet, because he seldom asked any question
and just smiled. 
     After coming to Singapore, we got to know that he would

teach us mathematic and it is proved that he is really a kind
professor.  In the class, he taught us detailedly and tried his best to
make problems easier and simpler.  It is easy to follow him.  After
class, if we asked him questions, no matter how stupid or difficult
they are, he would explain questions patiently.  As to the exam, he
gave the last year paper.  And I know he spared no effort to
complete all the contents in the exam paper but limit the difficulty
so all students will be able to pass it.  He is very tender.
     Perhaps, he will never teach us, but we will remember

him for his good quality and significant help.  Hopefully, most NUS
teachers are very kind and helpful like him.  Like what my senior
said, all of them have morally good quality.  Finally, do hope Prof
Chew surgical success.

  1. I really like prof.Chew's class, which is quite interesting. What's more, I can also feel his ethusiasm in teaching Mathsmatics. As he told us in the last class, he loved mathsmatic and he felt excited while teaching, which made me really touched.

  2. Yes, I agree with you. I also think that Prof Chew is one of the the best teachers that I have met and I respect him very much. He is such a kind person and treat every student well. Moreover, I like his style of teaching which is easy to learn. He always translate some difficult English words into Chinese so that we can learn them better. What moved me most is that he chose to go to the hospital after he finished SM3 math classes. I feel sorry about his illness and I do hope he can recover soon.
