Dear students!
Welcome to Technical Writing aka UHL2322. If you haven't heard of me, or seen me before around campus, great! Sometimes it's nice to be a mystery and that makes us even. `Coz prior to this first class, you are all mysteries to me but as we go along, we'll peel every layer of onion skin, like Shrek (love Shrek!) and get to know the pages behind every cover. I hope the mixing of metaphors aren't confusing you; but isn't that exciting about learning English and all its little nuances?
Here are my expectations:
NUMBER ONE
It's easy to get an A in my class; but you have to deserve it. For example, when you do your presentation, and you are so well prepared that I can't even minus any points off you. You are facing the audience, interacting with them, your visual aids are gorgeous, your language flawless, your content and organization makes me speechless. Hey, you might even get an A. And if you do, you deserve it. That's how you get an A in my class.
NUMBER TWO
Cellphones are allowed but do keep them silent. Keep them in your room if we have exams.
NUMBER THREE
I am very fair, but I am not to be stepped on.
NUMBER FOUR
I dress up for class, I expect you to be in your best dress as well. I like having Posh Spices, Professional Spices, Geeky Spices but please keep your toilet slippers in the toilet where they belong. Let's not have any Toilet Spices, okay?
NUMBER FIVE
But most of all, open your minds, learn something new and have fun!

Learning Styles: MUST DO THIS FIRST!
Please go to the link below and do the survey. Then post what kind of learner you are.
http://www.metamath.com/multiple/multiple_choice_questions.html
Guess what's my style?
You learn best when information is presented auditory in an oral language format. In a classroom setting, you benefit from listening to lecture and participating in group discussions. You also benefit from obtaining information from audio tape. When trying to remember something, you can often "hear" the way someone told you the information, or the way you previously repeated it out loud. You learn best when interacting with others in a listening/speaking exchange .
Strategies for the Auditory/ Verbal Learner:
Join a study group to assist you in learning course material. Or, work with a "study buddy" on an ongoing basis to review key information and prepare for exams.
When studying by yourself, talk out loud to aid recall. Get yourself in a room where you won't be bothering anyone and read your notes and textbook out loud.
Tape record your lectures. Use the 'pause' button to avoid taping irrelevant information. Use a tape recorder equipped with a 3-digit counter. At the beginning of each lecture, set your counter to '000.' If a concept discussed during lecture seems particularly confusing, glance at the counter number and jot it down in your notes. Later, you can fast forward to that number to review the material that confused you during lecture. Making use of a counter and pause button while tape recording allows you to avoid the tedious task of having to listen to hours and hours of lecture tape.
Use audio tapes such as commercial books on tape to aid recall. Or, create your own audio tapes by reading notes and textbook information into a tape recorder. When preparing for an exam, review the tapes on your car tape player or on a "Walkman" player whenever you can.
When learning mathematical or technical information, "talk your way" through the new information. State the problem in your own words. Reason through solutions to problems by talking out loud to yourself or with a study partner. To learn a sequence of steps, write them out in sentence form and read them out loud.

Hi there!
Who would have thought, time flies so fast? Anyway, I hope while classes lasted, you had a good but educational time which brings me to this question. So if you had learnt something, anything, what are they? Can you tell me ONE thing you learnt from English class that you'll remember FOREVER. It could be a word, it could be grammar related, it could be a skill, it could be non academic. It could be just anything! If it's more than ONE, hehe, even better! So share with me what you learnt.
Thank you for being an energetic lot. I love it when you yell READY simultaneously that I have to give all of you the same points. I hope that that energy and enthusiasm stays throughout your scholarship here.
I'd also like to take this chance to apologize to anyone in case I stepped on your toes, said the wrong things, as it was never my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. and lastly, THANK YOU for being most cooperative and enthusiastic in class.
P.S. Remember we have a date tomorrow.

USING TELL ME MORE
Finally, the time has come for you to have a go at the language software we have in our labs. For students who have yet to give it a try, you will soon. Get your username and password from your respective class representatives. Your username depends on the programme and section you are in, and the position you are on the attendance list. So say for example, you are taking UHL2312, from section P13, and you are the 3rd student on the name list, your username should be UHL2312P13S3. If you are S3, then your password is S3.
Please be careful logging in as the username and password are case sensitive. Do note that the username and password are in ALLCAPS or UPPERCASE.
Once in, please click on the chosen level, in this case, it's either Advanced+ or Business+. You can choose to do any one first. Then click on the green check button, then choose the FREE TO ROAM mode, then validate by clicking on the green check button again.
You have been given a Tell Me More assessment form for information on which activities to do, as well as to fill up once you have completed the activities. Remember you need to hand in this form once the allocated time for TELL ME MORE is complete. We advise you to finish all activities first before attempting to re-do any of the activities. Also bring your own headphones, as the headphones provided in the lab might not work.
If you are having problems with the PC, or the headphone and mic, please inform your lecturer so that your lecturer can report the problem to the lab manager. Or call our lab managers at 095492461.
Here are some troubleshooting advice:
1) If the PC you are using has a headphone that does not function, please do an activity that does not require the use of the headphone yet, e.g., Grammar Workshop. Grammar Workshop is the third icon after the HOME icon at the bottom left corner of your screen. Choose the relevant Grammar Workshop activity to do. Once done, trade PCs with a friend who has done the speaking and listening part.
2) Should you want to change PCs or go to another PC, please log out by clicking on 'change user account' instead of clicking on 'Quit TELL ME MORE'. If you simply quit the programme, chances are when you use the other PC, the remark that you are logged on on another PC will appear.
3) If at any time, the PC gets stuck, then you will need to turn it off and then on again. Same goes, if you can't get into TELL ME MORE, please restart the PC.
Okay, if you have any questions, you can direct them to me. Thank you.

SNOWBALL FIGHT!
On the first day of class, it's the all important get to know each other session, as well as getting to know the lecturer and course.
Technical English is all about Presentation Skills, Technical Description and Process Explanation.
1) What kind of Technical Description did you give about yourself that allowed others to recognise you?
2) Who found you?
3) What question were you asked?
4) Who did you find?
5) What was the description given and was he/she easy to find?
6) What was your question and what was the answer you received?
7) What did you think of the activity?
8) What was something you learned in class that day? I think this topic is self explanatory. Basically discuss what you learned in class regardless if it has anything to do with English or not. E.g. Today I learned that there's no such thing as a stupid question....

Another new beginning
Dear all,
This is a note of welcome to usher the new semester and new students of UMP into the big, delightful world of UHL 2312 Technical English.
This is your first semester and the beginning of a new journey which you determine the end from the choices you make. I always ask my students the reason they come to UMP, whether voluntarily or simply because, they have no other choice. Use the four years wisely developing yourselves as this is YOUR journey of self discovery, where you discover your strengths, your interests, your skills, and so much more. Might even discover your future life partner here though I wouldn't put so much emphasis on that. :-)
That, is just a bonus. You won't die not having a boyfriend or girlfriend. And having one can either make or break you. Some people have successful constructive relationships where they inspire each other to excellence and some people have failed relationships, move on and learn from them, while others attempt at suicide.
As I said, it's during these four years you learn who you are and what you are made of. I hope UHL 2312 will have a hand in that process and help you develop yourself so you can bloom fully. Nobody can mistake a rose no matter what it's called.
Therefore it is my wish you enjoy yourself as much as you can while soaking in what UHL 2312 has to offer.
Thank you.

THE END A12
Hi people!
It's the last week of the semester. You had your work cut out for you but all of you rose to the challenge. It's been fun, yeah, English classes? Anyway, I hope they were, and I hope that you learnt something too, not just have fun (that is if you had fun); or be stressed (that is if you were stressed). So if you had learnt something, anything, what are they? Can you tell me ONE thing you learnt from English class that you'll remember FOREVER. It could be a word, it could be grammar related, it could be a skill, it could be non academic. It could be just anything! If it's more than ONE, hehe, even better! So share with me what you learnt.
Anyway, it's been an experience. I love your energy when you yell READY and I love your enthusiasm that if you yell READY and you're not chosen, you are disappointed.That's because it shows you care and that's why I love it. I try to let you all have a chance to share your answers and opinions. Anyway, I'd like to apologize to anyone in case I stepped on your toes, said the wrong things, as it was never my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. and lastly, THANK YOU for being most cooperative and enthusiastic in class.

The Missing Link
Hmm I know there's something else i need to upload or share with you. But for the love of God, I really can't remember what it is. Anyway, in this post, i call all team leaders of both sections or the team reps who went to MTE. I invite you to share your experience and what you learnt from the little excursion we made to KL. Was it interesting? Was it boring? Were you inspired? Were you not? Why? There is no right or wrong answer. Just share your thoughts. Remember, in week 13 and 14, it'll be your TURN to showcase your work. All the best!

A12's Wall: Unload here!
Please leave any comments or feedback here. You can write on any or all of the suggested topics below.
1) On Speedtalk:
If this is your first experience doing Speed Talk, what do you think about it? Do you like this activity? In UHL 2322, there is a little twist in Speed Talk, Speed Talk this time asks you to prepare a question inviting or soliciting opinions, rather than asking for information like we did last semester (for those who have done it before last sem).
So, what was your question? What were your own thoughts on that topic? And out of all the opinions your friends gave you, which answer did you like most and why?
When we swapped roles, and you were on the receiving end, which question was most interesting to you?
2) On Opinion Headlines:
a) Which Opinion Headline was most interesting to you?
b) What attracted you to the Headline?
c) Was the story behind it as interesting as you thought it to be?
3) New Words: What new words have you learnt today? What was interesting about the word that you remembered it?
4) New Readings: What have you read today? What type of reading text was it? Was it a poem, a story, a magazine article, a play, a summary? What did you like about it and why?
5) New Movies: What movie have you watched recently that you'd like to share with others? Was it a good movie that you'd recommend others to watch?
6) Something I learnt in class today: I think this topic is self explanatory. Basically discuss what you learnt in class regardless if it has anything to do with English or not. E.g. Today I learnt that there's no such thing as a stupid question....

UHL 2322 again with new students! New faces!
Hello and salaam to all!
This semester, blogging is not compulsory because us UHL lecturers are not as heartless as we seem. We know your gripes including the internet access being unstable and all etc., etc., etc. So many of us decided not to make it compulsory to give way to the amount of writing you'll be doing and the invention you'll be inventing. Isn't that just very kind of us? I do however invite you to leave your comments whenever you feel like it. Treat it as an outlet to vent your frustration, show off or just to give your opinion and feedback on the activities we've done. In fact, after this, I'll post two new posts with the title: A11's Wall and A12's Wall where you can say whatever you like, whenever you want, based on the section you're in. Have fun and learn something new this semester, okay?
Here's to always wanting the best learning experience for you!
