Angeline Tsui:
We had a mathematical exploration class in the morning. We learnt the game theory and think of strategies of winning a game. It was fun and extraordinary. We had a cardiovascular physiology class in the afternoon. We learnt about the cardiovascular system. We had learnt the components and the function of cardiovascular system. Moreover, we dissected animal hearts. The experiment helped us understand more about the structure of a heart. It was interesting and informative.
Annie Xia:
I really liked both lessons, Game Theory and cardiovascular physiology today. Our teachers were both really informative and ready to answer all of our questions and do many activities with us. I can only hope the rest of my time at Stanford will be as interesting and amazing as today’s lessons were. I am also looking forward to the college
panel later as I have lots of questions to ask the panel members regarding university.
Beatrice Lai:
In the morning, we had our math strategy lesson. This maths lesson was slightly different from that in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, we only study basic maths skill but today we learnt ‘game theory’ which shows how to get a higher chance to win a game. After our lunch, we studied physiology. Each of us dissected a heart of a pig. We learnt a lot from today lessons.
Candace Kwan:
As a person who is not really good at Mathematics, I expected “Game Theory” to be a bit boring. But it was a mathematical exploration that really opened up many worlds. I would never have guessed that games have strategies that can always ensure victory no matter what moves another player does. It was really much more interesting than any Mathematics lesson I have ever had!
Candace Lo:
Today was filled with lessons. We did some physiology and math. I like the ‘Game Theory’ lesson as I really had fun playing the games and exploring the strategy of winning! Dr. Smita and Dr. Eon were very nice and informative.
Cheryl Yuen:
We had our Game Theory lesson this morning. I had learnt a lot of strategies for winning various games. I enjoyed the lesson a lot though I did not totally comprehend them. After lunch, we had the physiology lesson. I was exposed to new concepts and terms like the structures of the heart and Hematocrit, which describes the percentage of the blood volume that is due to Red Blood Cells. We dissected animal hearts afterwards. I could not really identify the structures of the heart, since I did not get enough sleep last night and could not concentrate at class. However, I still enjoyed the process of the heart dissection. I should get enough sleep tonight, so that I could pay more attention in class tomorrow.
Cynthia Yip:
We had our math lesson about game theory in this morning. I learnt some strategies of wining the maths games. Although I didn't understand the concepts well at the beginning, but after listening to the teacher's explanation, I began to grasp the key of the games. After having our lunch, we attended the physiology class. It was the first time I had ever dissected an organ. I found that heart dissection is very interesting.
Ellian Cheung:
This morning, we had Mathematical Explorations. We learnt about strategies of winning a game, and I found them very useful. Later in the afternoon, we had cardiovascular physiology lesson. I had never dissected a heart before, and I thought it would be very disgusting. However, it was way better than what I had expected. It was great that we can apply things that we had learnt to complete the heart dissection. I am very grateful that I am given this valuable opportunity to learn in such a good university.
Ingrid Ng:
After breakfast we walked to our Mathematics class. We explored the basic winning strategies for various games. It was quite complicated because we had to think of all the possible outcomes of a game. We had fun thinking and solving problems. After lunch we took the Line-B bus to the medical centre. We met Dr. Eon, who taught us cardiovascular physiology. We inspected the hearts of pigs hands-on. I found out about the valves, aorta and pulmonary arteries and veins. It was satisfying. At night, we had a talk with the college panel, which was quite interesting. I hope I could become better at thinking up winning strategies in games.
Iris Chang:
Today I've learnt a lot from the heart dissection experiment during the Physiology lesson. This is a valuable experience for me as I had only dissected a bull eye before in form 2. I had never seen a real animal heart before. This has expanded my horizons. However I was not careful enough to handle the heart. If I have another chance to do these dissections again I would be more careful.
Janice Sung:
Today, we had our physiology and math lessons. I learnt different strategies of winning math games in the former lesson while it was the first time for me to dissect a heart in the latter. Both lessons are so meaningful to me.
Jessica Chow:
This is the forth day of the Stanford study tour. We had our Mathematical Explorations lesson in the morning and Cardiovascular in the afternoon. In the Mathematical Explorations lesson, the teacher taught us some game theory, which is the strategy to win a game. I found the skills really useful because I won many times in the game after I applied the strategy. I was glad with my success. I am looking forward to the activities that we are going to have tomorrow.
Jessie Tsui:
We had the Mathematical exploration lesson today in the morning and we learned about the Game Theory which was intriguing. The games were intellectual as well as delightful. I learned that we should tackle problems from different perspectives and try to think for alternatives to solve problems. We had the Physiology lesson in the afternoon and I was so excited that I could dissect the heart of a pig! I learned more about the cardiovascular system and I enjoyed the dissection which was so impressive.
Kennes Hung:
We got math lesson in the morning. I learnt some game theory which taught us about winning strategy of some games. After lunch, We had physiology lesson. I learnt many things about heart such as arteries, veins and valves. We dissected animal hearts after that. My knowledge on physiology was widened through the meaningful experiment.
Laetitia Wu:
Lots of things can be self-learned. Before this trip, I studied a bit of cardiovascular physiology by myself first to prepare for this class. It turned out that I could totally follow what Dr. Eon said during the lesson and I was able to answer most of the questions he raised in class. I believe that learning is limitless and therefore we should never wait until something to be taught but commit to our own learning. My philosophy was well proven today!
Larissa Tang:
This morning, we went for a Math lesson. It was more fun than those we had in Hong Kong as there were less calculations but thinking practices. In the lesson, we played mathematics games. We had to think about different winning strategies, which I found it really hard as it requires a lot of high-order thinking skills, but I still found it interesting and challenging. After the lesson, I learnt that I had to remain focus so that I would not be distracted. In the afternoon, we went for heart dissections. I had never dissected anything before, so this dissection was really exciting for me. I was so jubilant to know how our heart works and got to know its structure. I thought mine was not a perfect dissection as it was only my first time. I will seize the opportunity whenever I have in the future to improve my dissection skills. The day was both fun and exciting as I had tried something that I had never done before.
Linda Cheng:
Today’s lecture on Game Theory was really interesting and it’s different from the mathematics lessons we usually have in Hong Kong. Instead of being spoon-fed the information, we had to analyze from trial and errors and make a conclusion. I enjoyed it a lot. It reminded me that strategies to solve problems are really important. We also attended a lesson on cardiovascular physiology. We mainly learnt about the circulatory system and the structure of the heart. Most importantly, we dissected pigs’ hearts! I had never tried this before and it was quite an experience.
Pinky Kwan:
In the morning, we attended a Math section. Our teacher taught us through playing games. Our mission was to find out winning strategies for various games. I did quite well in the first game but was not good at the others. I think I should improve my thinking skills to be as smart as my classmates. We had a Physiology lesson, which we could try dissecting a pig’s heart. The lesson was fun, especially for a science-fan like me. I was so pleased when Dr. Eon praised me for doing my dissection well. We observed the internal structure of the heart and it really helped my learning. I understood more about how our hearts work and I hope that I would have more chances to do dissection in my future.
Rachel Kwan:
In the morning, we had mathematics exploration. The teacher told us that there was a winning strategy for most of the games. She motivated us to find out those strategies through playing with our classmates. In the afternoon, we had physiology lesson. This is the study of the processes and functions of an organism. Dr. Eon explained some basic concepts such as the circulatory system to us. We dissected hearts of pigs after that. I really enjoyed it. By looking at the dissected heart, I understood the structure of the heart better. It is really more practical than reading that from our Biology book.
Renee Yeh:
What I enjoyed the most was today’s cardiovascular physiology course. There were a lot of new terms and concepts, such as ‘vena cava’ and ‘homeostasis’ but I think our class grasped it really well. I was looking forward to dissecting a heart, and I was definitely able to learn a lot from both our experienced teachers in Math and Cardiovascular Physiology. I look forward to more educational times at the beautiful Stanford University.
Rosa Li:
During the morning session, we attended a lesson on Game Theory. I had not learnt anything about it before, Dr. Smita showed us ways to win different games. After today’s lesson, I know that a strategy is crucial. If you just play the game without any strategy, you will lose. With a good strategy, you can take control of the game and win. In reality, all kinds of tasks require a clear strategy. From today onwards, I will try to analyse each and every situation before hand, and use the best strategy to finish them so as to achieve maximum efficiency.
Selena Leung:
We went for the mathematics lesson which was about game theory this morning. We learnt the skills of winning various games. This is the most interesting mathematics lesson that I have ever took. And this further aroused my interest in mathematics. In the afternoon, we went for the physiology lesson, we learnt about circulatory system. And I tried to dissect a pig heart, it is quite disgusting but I had a lot of fun. This is my first time to dissect a heart, I really do not know what to do with the heart at first but I can finish the dissection at last.
Stephanie Chow:
I should say today was exciting as yesterday even though I had to stay in the campus for lessons for the whole day. We first had a rather “different” math lesson in the morning. We were not working on our calculators for answers, but really doing some thinking and linking the knowledge that we learnt since primary school to achieve various “Winning Strategy”. It was not easy. We had to find the definite way to win the game while playing it. Sometimes, I got so involved in the game that I forgot about my original purpose of playing. I had to remind myself to focus on my goal and stay away from distractions. In the afternoon, we went for heart dissections. It felt special holding the cold pig heart that was just taken from the box of ice. The heart’s muscle was firm. I could see the capillaries of the heart very clearly. I observed real rocks yesterday; I dissected a real heart today. They were all things I had never done before.
Theodora Yu:
The maths game theory was truly an inspiring lesson. The teacher, Dr. Smita, taught us about different winning strategies, using simple but important maths concepts. Throughout the games, I had learnt to think in different ways, even considering the opponent's thoughts. To win a game, the players would have to debate in their own minds the one-way path towards winning and also the opposite one's moves, so that the whole strategy is flawless and effective. I had learnt to think in other's point of view, instead of restricting our minds to our own. The Physiology lessons was the highlight of the day. From Dr. Eon's lecture is professional. He explained the procedures of dissecting a heart patiently to us. I was amazed. I learnt that one must have passion into what he or she is doing. If one has passion, one would be devoted to his work and therefore be 100% involved and hard-working. I would try my best to discover the subject I am passionate with and pour all my heart to it.
Tiffany Tsah:
This morning we had Mathematics lesson. We learnt strategy for winning games. It was interesting and awesome. We then had cardiovascular physiology lesson in the afternoon. We learnt a lot of things about animal’s heart and the cardiovascular system. It was the first time I dissected a pig’s heart, it was so amazing and I am really looking forward to the next dissection.
Valerie Tang:
We had the Game Theory lesson today and it was a lot of fun. I learnt about winning strategies of different games and the process of learning those strategies really made me think. I realized that I actually enjoyed math quite a lot. Then in the afternoon, we learnt about cardiovascular physiology, which includes different systems of the body, various vessels, and the structure of the heart. I learnt a great deal and I also enjoyed the pig’s heart dissection part as well.
Vicky Cheung:

Victoria Chan:
We had our math and physiology lessons today. Both were different from those we had at school. During the math lessons, we learned about the strategies of winning a game. I am truly interested in it and I also learned how to solve different math theory games. During the physiology lesson, I got my first chance to dissect a pig’s heart. It is really helpful for me to observe and feel the texture and the structure of the heart, this experience is really good for me to further my studies in biology.
Victoria Kwok:
In the morning, we attended the mathematics lesson about game theory. I had never thought of there would be any winning strategy for the games. It was so interesting. Think twice before you take action was the lesson that I had learnt in this session. In the afternoon, we learnt about different systems in our body and how our hearts work. After that, each of us dissected one animal heart. It was a great experience that I could apply what I had learnt in the lecture in the experiment.
