Autumn term was really exciting for me. I spent busy but fulfilling days. I had two games in October so I practiced lacrosse hard. After the games had finished, I had to prepare for ICU festival to sell Okinawan doughnut with BGs and taiyaki with lacrosse club. It enabled me to find time and manage it effectively to do enormous amount of assignment, and also to read and write faster with no hesitation.
Concentrating on one essay was a good experience. I had enough time to choose appropriate theme and narrow it enough. I learned how to find good sources both in English and Japanese. I was able to review how to do citation.
The class with JLP students and 20×20 presentation gave me lots of ideas for my essay and improved my communication skills to convey difficult things related to my essay topic.
Now, looking back this autumn term, I enjoyed ARW classes. It was challenging. Thank you very much, Mark:) I’m going to develop what I’ve learned in this term and do my best work in winter term too.
Hi Sakiko,
ReplyDeleteNice final ARW reflection! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the class and are eager to develop your ability further in winter term.
I'm glad you benefited from the 20x20 and JLP Exchange. Those are two types of activities I am trying to spread throughout the ELP.
On this blog, you have written thoughtful summaries and reactions on almost all of the readings and left a record of the step by step process of your essay as well. Nice work!
It was a busy term, but I hope you were able to learn many things from Autumn ARW to take forward to your future!
I hope you will continue to blog like this and record your reactions to what you learn day to day!
Mark
