1. Narrator: Why did we say again that every establishment like hospitals, schools and business units should have the computerized information system? Once again because of the immediate information it provides that are very relevant in making timely decisions that are crucial in a company or a school's operations. Timely decision makings are needed to be done to get ahead of the pack of industry competition and to be able to operate effectively and efficiently. Let's have the school perhaps to prove this point. Imagine enrolling to a school that process their data manually. It would take them a minimum of one week to be able to accumulate all the needed pieces of information from the students and another one or two weeks to process them. From this type of information system many departments will also be idle waiting for them to be processed. For example in the accounting department where in tuition fees and miscellaneous are computed, they cannot be accomplished immediately without the data on how many units a certain student has enrolled. Question: According to the passage, which system is more effective and efficient?

Manual Information System

Automation

Computerized Information System

Internet Based System

5. Narrator: We have an example for today's discussion. This would be computing how much would be the fare in a bus of eight students and two adults if the students fare is $7.00 and the adults fare is $10.00. You have $100.00. Now, how much will you be paying for fare and how much would be your change? I want you to calculating this in your sits right now and I encourage you to enjoy solving this because I do believe that most of us apply this logic unconsciously in our daily lives. The problem why most of you are failing in this subject is that of your wrong notion. You'll automatically perceive it as difficult without giving it a try. You all have the ability to analyze so it only a matter of fostering it. You know, when you level this question as difficult, your mind will respond to it accordingly. So it is essential to have a mindset of treating algebra, calculus, geometry and the like as interesting subjects. Question: According to the passage, when do students perform well?

9. Narrator: Let's have a review of yesterday's class, what make up the nervous system? It is made up of the sensory nerves, the spinal nerves, the cranial nerves and the um….what's the fourth one once again? It is the autonomic nerves right? And what kind of nerves are specifically for motor nerves only? Is it the sensory nerves because when we say sensory, it controls of our senses thus affecting or rather enabling us to move? Hmmm…I got your point there but then, the sensory nerve's main function is to carry information towards the central nervous system and then bringing it to the brain, lastly to the spinal cord. The motor nerve will then carry the processed information to the glands and muscles for appropriate action. So from that, it means… nerve other than sensory nerve will do the dissemination, we call them the autonomic nerves. Am I making sense here? Question: What do you think the teacher is expecting from the class when she said: "Let's have a review of yesterday's class?"

That they are attentive

That they will give her correct answers

That they will discuss the topic instead of the teacher

That they are experts of the topic already
