Session 11 on 12/15/2015: Presentation Feedback and Discussing Research about Positive Self-Talk and Taking Care of Your Time

Summary: It was certainly an exciting class. You all got anonymous feedback and reflections on your presentations. Many students got great ideas for practical applications to use about how the way you speak to yourselves can improve little by little. 

Nevertheless, we dove into some serious-talk when we spoke about the new quarter system for English classes, which does not allow for excused or unexcused for more than two weeks or your grades will be affected, nor for make-up exams, and your English teachers must grade your classes during your 2nd quarter orientation week. Hope you can ask questions to student services soon as the new policies could limit your chances of taking English classes, because most of the university will still be on the semester system. 

On a brighter note, you shared your research and gave feedback, and your pair asked questions and comments using my original Ii Ii Ii feedback system written on the whiteboard:

Interesting! Why? 

I want to know more, because..... (including the use of more current research)

         I don't understand. Could you run this by me once more?
                                        "       "    please explain that again?    
                        

Finally, you wrote reflections about our session. Have a great rest of the week and do join the ERC holiday party on Friday, the 18th.
