Today Aaron, Leping, Ling, Stephanie, and I were sitting in the front of computers taking this online class together on the basement of the library. Isn't it interesting that our small community is getting bigger and bigger?
I like the idea of using powerpoint as a visual aid to help us with some certain questions we have. It really bettered my understanding of it. Afterwards, we’re divided into small groups to discuss the given linguistic technical terms. I like the group idea because it makes me recall what I’ve learnt from the textbook immediately. I figured it out that I had a hard time explaining some technical words well despite the fact that I finished the reading before I came to the class. Is that meant I do not gain the meanings completely so that I cannot use my own words to describe that in detail well? I felt a little disheartened.
Hey Lilian, I think it is interesting too to have a small class out side of the online class;)
ReplyDeleteWell don't worry, we are on the same boat, I also have the problem of those new names...I think I understand the meaning and concept but just too much new vocabulary suddenly coming out at the same time.
As I mentioned in Leping's blog, the review you will read in Freeman Ch 3 should help. Also, remember that you can go back and reread parts of Finegan Ch 3-4 and the PowerPoint as well. It will get easier.
