Quite a course!

I was glad that I read some of the required reading materials for today's course. I found this unit course interesting as well as very useful. I wrote down on my profile sheet that I would like at the end to be able to create a good worth implementing curriculum. I did mean it.

My lecturer was very kind and clever. He was good at explaining the lecture and patient enough to listen to students' views and comments. He didn't claim students wrong instead encouraged them to freely express their thoughts. I noticed that my lecturer was well prepared and much better from my previous ones, yet this was still the first meeting and probably it was too early to judge.

Overall, during the class, I was happy and could follow the flow well.

till next time

Wanna be the biggest loser?

What an interesting title when I saw the tv ad 'big loser.' I firstly wondered what that would mean? Had people already lost their mind of competing to be losers than winners instead? What on earth did it mean?

Finally, I watched the series and felt more to sympathetic than confused. Good for them who keenly tried to be the biggest losers, 'go on' I whispered almost to myself.

There were some couples of very fat people competed to lose fat or more appropriately to gain ideal weight. They did sacrificed many things from time, hobbies, habits, appetites, and so many other things I might couldn't imagine at the moment.

Congratulation for those who finally or could I say half the program, had lost up to 42 kg of their fat. (:

So, do you wanna be a big loser???

First day of first lecture

It's not exactly what I expected before attending the lecture, but to be honest it was awful and I was a bit lost during the lecture. I already read one very important article for today's lecture, the lecture slides and some hints from the unit guide, but from what I understood, it was a confusing lecture. I sometimes lost listening to the speakers' accent and words, most probably because they spoke real fast with some very often new vocabularies.

I could hardly understand the talk' ideas of the three workshop speakers, and I couldn't judge whether other students experienced the same as me, I kept silent. After an hour workshop, we proceeded to the lecturing room and were divided into three groups with different particular lecturers. It was obvious that the three group lectures were all about research, yet with their own very specific study. In my case, I chose the reading, interpreting and communicating research instead either t the qualitative or quantitative ones.

Time went so fast and the first confusing lecture finished earlier thirty minutes from the allocated time. It was quite benefited me because I could rush home for dinner and avoided getting home dark. Luckily, this autumn the sun really set around nine pm. The class dismissed after my lecturer, Mrs. Mary Lou gave tasks to do for the following meeting.

Though my first day lecture was not at all amazing but confusing, I could say it was because it was the starting point for more confusing lectures to come. So, I better keep myself aware and be ready for the coming lectures. I still remember filling the form my lecturer gave the class with a commitment to study more diligently and read a lot. I'd like to commit on doing that, I do hope and will really try.
