Cultural Trip to Yingge
Int’l Jury Meeting 2
| While students from the participating countries were exploring the unique beauty and exotic cultures of Taiwan and getting acquainted with other foreign students, all the mentors and observers worked exceedingly long hours on questions of the written test. In order to have a short but sufficient discussion, the Scientific Committee arranged this meeting into three stages. During the first stage, Dr. Chang and the Scientific Committee went over all the test items rapidly to see whether there were any suggestions on any particular items. Next, all the mentors were divided into three groups in accordance with their specialty. In this stage, the mentors had to revise all the questions that had been previously marked down. At last, all the mentors began to translate all the finalized test items for their students. The mentors did not hesitate to voice their opinions on test questions for they were eager to help come up with flawless test questions. The meeting began at 3 p.m. in the afternoon and finally ended until over 1a.m. in the next morning. Joining in this meeting was as though running a marathon. Nevertheless, all the teachers showed their persistence and extreme patience throughout the whole process, with every intention to make this competition a successful event which will be worth remembered for many years to come. |
