Things to do on 5/17

Dear all,

1.Log 7 is the last log you need to write. So some of you are done, and most of you are about to finish logging, too.  You are almost there!

2. From reading your logs, I believe that most of your self reflection can be used in your final projects, so that your effort is all worthwhile. What you need is, again, to make your written projects more organized, communicative, and accurate in language use.

3. Your concept maps should play a guide to lead you to the end of your reading and writing. And concept maps can be revised too. For example, if it is difficult to elaborate any part, you delete it, or you can add some points not originally planned during your writing process.

4. I'll give another example, telling how flexible this project can be, with my own thoughts and weaknesses exposed to you, just to show you how one's inner reflection is important for one to grow and mature.

5. Then I'll reply to your suggestions and comments on this course by showing how college reading and writing is valued and practiced in the United States (if we also talk about European system, your work load is like nothing). Some clarifications should be done directly.

6. If time allows after we do 4 and 5, you can still come conferencing with me about your personalized project and reading/ writing for your project.

PS. Let's do presentations from 6/7 to 21, so we don't have to hurry. Let you learn from each other's project directly. This time, let's also include Q&A, not only me asking the questions. The deadline for your written projects is 6/23.

PS2. I have also given comments to some of you. Sorry I didn't manage to reply to you all.
