Week 13’s class (4/9)

First, we were divided in groups examining the given sentence based on Grice’s Maxims: manner, relevance, quantity, and quality. Each group also defined and explained the categories of speech act. Later on, we moved to discuss our trial final project. It seemed that I needed more time to read other group’ postings before this discussion. I cannot read it fast. It would be better if we could be informed of reading other groups’ positing before this class. Or at least I can know what we are expected to do in dicussion. I can prepare it in advance.

I like the idea of playing a game. It is always fun in class. I think it’s quite interesting and entertaining to me because we had to recall what you learnt from the textbook and applied it to these questions immediately, especially we had to type fast (in short seconds maybe). Classes are toward the end of this semester. I feel a little stressful because all things come together. But I know I will just be fine.

  1. I'm sure you will be fine. I think you are very responsible! :) I am stressed out, too, but it seems like it always come together in the end.
