With the Physics too, I did quite well, but can you imagine: stupid me forgetting what a potentiometer is used for and I was even confusing the total emf of cells in a series with the total the emf of cells in parallel!

I could only think of the reasons for my lapses to myself but not tell to my supervisors to justify myself. At least, I was informed of the topics to prepare for..
Or is it anybody's fault that the last time I opened a Physics textbook or manual was sometimes last year or that I was unable to prepare for the tests.. lol

Well, they were really understanding (they did not condemn my mistakes) and still considered me for employment...
In summary, even if you're confident about something, there's no harm in double checking. No one is perfect!!...

Have you ever been in such a tight situation?
Me i went to an interview for the post of electromechanical engineer
I did well in the test. So during the interview i was asked to introduce myself.............immediately i mentioned i have worked in water production company na so d interview pulse me and asked what an IMPELLER is...impeller koh impeller ni...me dat have forgotten. I was just beating about the bush....so he asked if we have bole hole at home, i said yes. Has d pumping machine developed fault b4? I said yes....he now said as an engineer when ever we call the technician to repair it, y dont i ask question.. i was just there looking at him ...although i answered every other questions well but he used dat first question to knocked me out.
I got home to search for joting note i used den...low nd behold everything about IMPELLER was there.....was so mad at myself.
Always try to prepare b4 goin for any interview and dont say what u cant defend both orally and on your resume

Thank God. The subject I teach is not something most schools understand or know much about. So whenever I'm called for micro-teachings like that, I'm not shaky because even if I "tabon", no body will notice. grin.

Sometimes I confuse them with my British accent that they give up looking for faults. Lol..

Luckily for me, I've never made any mistakes.
What subject pls?

Woah.
It seems I'm living up to my name , "OlodoGraduate".
So, I dropped an application in a school about 2 weeks ago. I got called yesterday to come for interview. I was given a written test. I believe I did good in the test. Then, I was asked to come for a microteaching today.

I was given the topics to prepare for - in Mathematics; bearing and in Physics; Electricity.

I got home and didn't work towards crosschecking my mastery of these topics as I made my self believe that I would get no glitches in teaching these topics and I also got this crazy headache. I just took drugs and slept all along.

Today came, I quickly came up with a lesson note and proceeded to the school....

Since the school is on holiday, the SSS 2 and SSS 3 were together for lessons. I was asked to teach Bearings first. I began quite good and after a while, I was given a question to solve with the students.

It was a past WAEC question on calculation in Bearings. I was able to make out the diagram, but then I knew outrightly that something was wrong..

I knew what was wrong but I was unable to rectify it. I was just there in the front, blanking out of options....
Thankfully, I was put through by my supervisors {in fact, I really appreciate them} in a polite way and one of them even asked to students to applaud me.

I managed to appeal to the students and explained that "such happens at times".

The supervisor also tried to buttress my point by sighting an example of a case where examiners with over 30 years of experience couldn't solve a certain question — probably not to let me feel hopeless. I wanted to hold on to that as a panacea, but then I snapped out of it "shame on me".
Are you a graduate of physics or mathematics because generally physics students know maths more than Mathematicians

If it's a pilot job & mistakes or flops occurred mid air , will aeroplane comprises and pamper u, or if it's practical electrical & you forgot & touch 1000volts will your supervisor ask the students to applause your dead body? any way I congratulate u it's an inconsequential teaching job.Poor boy.

Yours is even better that is solving , mine was spelling and I stylishly hand over the maker to one of the students' na so I save my face that day than making further fool of myself .
I actually wrote a lesson note but then went with the wrong one though I remembered the topic but there were too much that day cause I taught many classes than I should have so my head was really full for the day .

Indentation is a blank space (gap) before a paragraph.

Paragraph is a written composition or probably a group of words discussing a single point.
Bro, thanks a lot of for this. Just learnt something new from you and I have researched it myself. Turned out you are 100% right. I have been fixing a square peg in a round hole all these while thinking I know the meaning of paragraph. Good thing about nairaland.
