Reflection
Mr Wong is a passionate lecturer. His lecture style is more based on active learning. He encouraged us to ask questions and involve in discussion of the lecture topic with him. Other than the lecture notes, he always expose us to wider knowledge of being a quantity surveyor ex. FIDIC contract, RICS professional guide, Construction project management...). I can't adapt his teaching method in the beginning (too brainstorming for me), but I believe that when you get used to his teaching method, you will become smarter (:
