Remember that we are a "TEAM" and that I am not the Professor, but the "FACILITATOR" of this course. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, right? Of course, I still determine your grade, but only you can really make yourself learn! Go for it!

Greetings Students!

I just wanted to tell you that your writing is improving! However, we will practice some M.I.E. (Moves Examination Exercises) with your homework that you bring in to me.

BE STRONG!

Please be sure to bring an authentic sample of your writing to class this week. We will have much work to do as we looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook over your examinations.

God(s) Bless You and Have a Happy (American) Thanksgiving!

Dear Esteemed Students:

Your homework, IF YOU WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THE 2005 CONFERENCE, is to write a one-page paper describing the conference talk that you attended and your feelings regarding it.

[ONLY IF YOU WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THE CONFERENCE! I HAVE POSTED THIS ON ALL OF MY BLOGS SO DON'T "FREAK OUT" (become "extremely shocked and surprised") if you were unable to attend the conference ... Just disregard this if you were at work, etc., whatever... Thanks!]

Please leave CONSTRUCTIVE (POSITIVE) COMMENTS, as the ENTIRE FREE WORLD is going to read your comments. If you have complaints or criticism, please either contact the author, discuss them in private with the speaker, or forever hold your peace!

The purpose here of this assignment is to inform the world, and the speakers who worked so hard to prepare for it, were appreciated.

Thanks again to Ms. Joanna Chou and NTUST AFL Department Chair, Dr. Lin Mao-sung, for your efforts in making the Conference the success that it was.

Best wishes,

Dr. J

Hey guys! I found a website that is SUPER COOL! CHECK THIS OUT: :-)
Greetings Everyone!

I just wanted to say hello! I appreciated our conversations last week, and I feel that the SHOCK of transfering universities is almost over ... so don't worry, we'll be doing a lot of correcting. I have an entire pile of papers to return to you.

AND, Sharon, I am so sorry: I saw your note from the previous class list to change your blog address. Sometimes, I'm sort of tired after class and I just now saw your comment. If anyone else has a situation with their blog, please let me know.

Thanks!
