A Huge Thank U

早上进入办公室之前，向信箱里望了一下，看见里面有一张粉红色的卡片和一包“吉百利”巧克力。心里有些纳闷：是谁送礼来了？

打开信箱，卡片是一张A4纸对折而成的，上面写着“A HUGE THANK U DR. CTK”。卡片显然是自制的。

打开卡片一看，左边有一个用Java编写的class，它是这么写的：

package Lab_1;

import java.util.*;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Thank you so much!!");

System.out.println("Finally we PASS...:-)");

if (not because of your guidance)

System.out.println("Extend sem");

else

System.out.println("Currently doing thesis 1");

System.out.println("We are so thankful");

}

}

*DONT RUN THIS CODING. DEFINITELY GOT ERROR(TT)

看到这里，我不禁哑然失笑，这肯定是Data Structures课的学生了。再看卡片的右边，写着：

“ENJOY THE CADBURY. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO GIVE, THIS IS THE BEST WE CAN THINK OF."

下面是两个学生的署名。印象中到上个学期为止，她们已经是第三次报考我教的这个科目，好不容易终于过关了，兴奋的心情可想而知。

Data Structures是学院里本科生的其中一个核心科目，考不过会大大影响学生们学习的进程。数个学期以来，已有好多学生栽在这个科目上，如何教和严宽之间的拿捏始终让我头疼。上个学期我尝试了不同的教学方式，再观察学生的表现，最后的成果还算让人满意。

其实，学生学得好、考得好，老师的兴奋是不亚于他们的。
