Dragon's Den Season 1 Episode 1 (UK)













So, A11 and A12, is Dragon's Den interesting or what? What have you learnt in terms of presentation? And what have you learn in terms of negotiation? In terms of ideas for your final project?

Remember, when you leave your comments, leave your name, section, and matric number. Thank you.

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!
