1
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,310
YEN-JIE LEE: Yeah, so I
think a sense of humor

2
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:14,180
is really a very, very
good tool in the teaching.

3
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:19,580
So I usually insert interesting
figures in my slides.

4
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:22,700
Then people will
be really focusing

5
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:26,180
on your slides and your
lecture because people

6
00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:27,570
don't want to miss the joke.

7
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:28,170
Right?

8
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:31,790
And also, that makes the
lecture much more enjoyable

9
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:36,420
as well because everybody
wants to learn things happily.

10
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:37,610
Right?

11
00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:42,710
And also, those jokes I
insert, most of the time,

12
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:47,420
they are relevant to physics
interpretation of those jokes.

13
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:52,430
So that's actually my idea
to make the lecture much more

14
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:56,720
enjoyable, and also keeping
the students very focused

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,700
on the material we cover.

16
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:05,960
So my idea is to have a much
more relaxed classroom so that

17
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:09,890
you can actually-- then people
will feel that they can ask

18
00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:13,580
whatever question they
have because I'm not, like,

19
00:01:13,580 --> 00:01:19,040
super serious, I mean, asking
for everybody to keep quiet

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,670
and cannot react to any funny
things that I have been doing.

21
00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:30,226
From here, actually,
Maxwell see the light.

22
00:01:30,226 --> 00:01:32,920
[LAUGHTER]

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,690
Can you see it?

24
00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:37,150
Maybe not yet.

25
00:01:37,150 --> 00:01:41,020
Maybe we are slightly
slower than Maxwell.

26
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:46,520
But-- but we will see that
together in this lecture.

27
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,850
First of all, I will
feel very relaxed

28
00:01:48,850 --> 00:01:53,150
because I can do whatever I
want to help the students.

29
00:01:53,150 --> 00:01:55,675
And also, the students
will feel that their stress

30
00:01:55,675 --> 00:01:58,840
of asking questions
were greatly reduced

31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,846
if the instructor is actually
very funny, and very,

32
00:02:01,846 --> 00:02:02,840
very humorous.

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,330
So that's actually my idea,
which drive me to the decision

34
00:02:07,330 --> 00:02:12,480
to insert a lot of interesting
pictures and the jokes

35
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,280
during the lecture.
