First of all, thank you for being my students. It's been fun teaching you guys and really entertaining you watch you act out your everyday processes. Anyway, fun and games aside, I know some think the games are somewhat childish (and they are! You're really lucky we didn't play Simon Says, I'd have made you walk like ducks and jump like froggies), some may not even get why we did what we did, but throughout the semester, I hope you learnt something. It does not have to be 10 THINGS though that would so much BETTER and I would feel so BLESSED. It can just be one very significant something that is not necessarily academic.
So what have you learnt? It can be one thing or more. Please comment.
Again thank you, especially for helping me out with the study I am doing with my colleague. If you're lucky, or unlucky, we meet again next semester.

WELL DONE and GOOD LUCK in your coming exams
Finally, assignments are submitted, quizzes are done, presentations are over! Some of you have shown great improvement. I remember watching Asshahidallah presenting and he looked so different from his first presentation. I smiled at the difference. For those who are not so proficient yet you managed to memorize through practice - that impressed me too.
But guys, it's not enough to have 'cukup syarat' or the bare minimum. You need your audience to go back with more than a vague memory of what you have just presented. Some of you, though you learnt attention getter, didn't apply it in your presentations. Those who did really got the audience's attention. such as Amie's group. They started the presentation by highlighting memorable life experiences made the presentation more memorable. Amni's group made theirs memorable with the little sketch. And conclusion, that's important too. It's not enough to say "That's it folks!"
Anyway, mistakes are meant to make you better, so don't be afraid of making mistakes. The road to success is hard work but it's worth it. Some of you are halfway there and some of you are nearer. And guess what, you will plenty more opportunities to finetune what you have achieved so far. Remember a great presenter does not memorise, is not monotonous, is very passionate and is not trying to impress.
So next sem, what do you do? Remember and apply what you learnt this sem even it's just one thing. I always say POSITIVE anything is better than NEGATIVE nothing.

CommentsGuideline
Dear P01 and P02 students!
Posting in your subject blog is something new for you. So you must have many questions on how to go about doing this.
Be rest assured. Here are some FAQs to guide you through this.
Q1: God no! Does this mean I need to have my own blog? Lecehnye this subject....
A: No, dears, you don't need to have your own blog but if you want one, go right ahead, and create your own blog. I will even link your blog to mine. However for this course, all you need to do is to leave your comments in the right post. Meaning, if you are from P01, post in the entry that is meant for you, unless it's a common entry, like this one.
Q2: But if I don't have my own blog, how will I post?
A: If you don't have your blog, all you need to do is post as ANONYMOUS but you need to leave your details like name, and Matric no. Because this is part of your assessment, lecturers will need to know who said what. Even if you have your own blog and your username is Jack Dawson, you'll still need to leave your name and Matric number unless of course Jack Dawson is your real name.
Q3: How many comments do I have to make?
A: You can make as many comments as you want. But the average is 5 throughout the semester. That however, will give you the average mark. Do refer to the assessment scheme for blogging that I will be giving you soon.
Q4: Can I use text language?
A: Do I use text language?
Q5: How long should my comments be?
A: Minumum a paragraph of at least 5 lines.
Okay, so if there are any other questions than the ones stated above, just post them here or in class and they will be entertained. Thank you.

It's been six weeks...what I've learnt so far in UHL 2312 class - P02
It's been six weeks in UMP but 4 weeks of lessons/ learning 'coz we have to minus the first week and last week, our quarantine week. That's a setback but we'll make up for it. So here's a quick review of what we've done so far and what I'd like for you to tell me is what you've gotten from all the activities. If you got nothing, by all means, tell me also why the activity had no impact on you. After all, hehe, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, just kidding; I was going to say, it's not learning if people already know.
Okay, we did (1) SNOWBALL FIGHT, (2) RESEARCH on job requirement and opportunities, (3) Speed Talk and Board games, (4) TEAMBUILDING and MoU, (5) PRESENT - Steps to be an effective presenter (including the video clips you viewed), and (6) Train the Speaker.
Please comment on each activity.

I've been reading...P02 - August
Dear P02 students of mine!
Complete the sentence, "I've been reading..." or "I've read...".
Me, I've read this book by Mitch Albom entitled For One More Day. It's about a guy called Chick Benitto who comes from a dysfunctional family, and worships the ground his father walks on and blames mom when his father left. After a series of failures, he basically tried to kill himself - his biggest blow was when his daughter didn't invite him him to her wedding.
So he decides he's going to kill himself back where it all began, his hometown. In his bizarre attempt to end his life, the guy meets, of all people, his mom! His mom, who's been dead for years and he wasn't there for her. It was her birthday and he didn't turn up. Instead he was trying to rekindle his glory days but it didn't work out.
During this time he learns the truth about his parents' separation, and how he had wronged his mom and how much his mom loved him. Really, it was sad reading the parts where he retold all the times he didn't stand up for her, and how she stood up for him. Made me wonder myself what kind of daughter I am and was to my parents and they must have felt at that time. You know, we can't take back what we've done but we can always try to make up for it, and we must always show and tell our parents that we love them. Even as I write this, I am reminiscent of the impact it made on me and I feel unwanted tears welling in my eyes.
But I guess the point is that it goes both ways, imagine how Chick's mom must be feeling, that she'd failed him to a point that he's driven to take his own life...So did he die or not? If he didn't, how could he meet his mom? Or was it all a dream? Go get the book, it's worth your time, believe me.

However, if you hadn't read this book, it's okay. Don't beat yourself too hard. Basically you can write about anything else you've read, preferably in English. It could be a book, a magazine article, a blog, anything! Having read it, just post your comments here about what you've read, and what kind of reading text it was, how it made you feel and why, what it reminded you of and why.

Calling P01 and P02 Sem 1 2009/2010 students taking UHL 2312!!!
Hi guys and gals!
Welcome to UHL 2312 Technical English. Our first class has been fun, I hope, getting to know each other and friends, as well as the subject.
UHL 2312 is really an interesting subject and you'll be learning so much although on paper it's mainly Presentation Skills, Technical description and Process explanation.
I say 'so much' because you'll also learn to work in a group, learn to be a leader, learn to communicate your ideas and so on. It is my great wish also, that you try to speak more English not only in the classroom but outside the classroom as well. I truly believe that this uni is a training ground for you to equip yourself with skills that make you marketable and in demand when you leave. This is really a place where you should find yourself and your strengths.
All the best to you this semester.

Some announcements!
Dear all!
Next week will be the final week we shall be seeing each other formally. Remember that we'll be having our Innovative Product Exhibition at the foyer of the Sports Complex. It will be during class time and the first half hour is for you to set up your booth and practice. Those who are not presenting, please show your support by going to your friends' booth and ask them questions about their product. Attendance will be taken.
Groups presenting will also have to submit their project report and a scaled down copy of their poster on an A4 size paper.
The aim of the poster is to inform and attract your audience to your product. Your content should include a brief description of the product and benefits of having and using that product, who should use it and so on. It should also have an image/ picture of the product. Add also whatever information you think relevant.
Well good luck! We are all looking forward to seeing what your genius brains have invented and innovated. Remember, the best products will be showcased in July during the UMP Academic Carnival!

Corset anyone? M05
How about feet-binding? You've read the article but did you imagine how small was small?
Or how the feet looked when you took off the shoes?
How about a long neck?
Or heavy earrings that elongate your earlobes?
An elderly Kenyah woman with traditional long earlobe resulted from years of wearing heavy “earrings”.
http://www.rengah.c2o.org/gallery/image.php?identifer=de0227i&collection=3
Isn't it amazing, what people consider beautiful and what they would do to be in that category?
When you read the two articles on the corset and feet-binding, what went on in your head? Me, I thank God that feet-binding is banned, and that present day corsets are not what they used to be. Those poor poor feet and those poor poor children...
Penny for your thoughts....

When You Submit Your Blog Log...
... you also need to submit your blog posts/ comments as well. One way is to copy and paste everything into a Microsoft Word doc. Ms. Marziah has found a way to make it easier for us all. Thank you, Ms Gee. I like, I like.
Please click on the the link below and follow the instructions there. For me, there is no first and second submission. There is only ONE submission; so don't miss it! The due date for the blog log is our last class for the semester.

Reading Entries for March P13
Ooh, wow! How fast time flies! It's now March and soon, the semester will be over, but not without some pain. You guys heard it before, "No pain, no gain!"
Remember, your proposal is due this week. Then be ready to make that invention happen before you can present it to the the world. In between, there's your progress report some time in week 12.
Okay, and for those still unclear on what you need to do when you see this "Reading Entries" heading, here's what you need to do:
- Read anything you like. It could be a book, a short story, a poem, an article in a magazine, or from your nasi lemak wrapper, or an online article, information off a cereal box, anything - but the reading materials have got to be in English.
- Then, go to your own blog or this one, whichever first is okay, and share with us the following info: (a) what you read (b) where you read it from - e.g., if it's from a magazine, state the article title, name of magazine and page of article and if it's an online article, share the link. You may copy and paste the article but that should not be the only content of your blog entry. (c) what you thought about the article - i.e., whether you liked it or not and why OR (d) what the article reminded you of OR (e) a summary of the article OR (f) all c, d and e.
- Sign off with your name, matric number and section.
- Then after you have posted your entry, copy and paste what you've written into the other blog depending on which blog you went to first. If you have no blog of your own, then you just need to come here to post your comments.
Okay? Any questions, ask me when you see me. :) By the way, for the reading entries, you may post as many entries as you like. There's no limit. It all depends on how much you've read and how much you'd like to share with us.

Are you going to finish strong M05?
Watching Nick Vujicic, do you wish you could present like him? Why?
After watching your own presentation performance, what would you wish to continue doing? And what would you wish to change in your next presentation?
As you know, at the end of the semester, there will be another product exhibition, very similar to the one you've done, except only this time, you'll be presenting on a new product, one you have created or innovated yourself!
So are you going to finish s t r o n g?
I would most certainly like to see that. Make me proud, but more importantly, make yourself proud.

Now and Then: Post Presentation M05
It's finally over. Gone are the headaches figuring out how to best present and compare contrast a product in a videoclip, how to insert sounds and convert files.
So, now that you are done, what do you think you have learnt? And when you look at your finished product, how do you you feel? In a few words describe yourself before and after the presentation.
Apart from that, I also would like to know if you think that what you learnt last semester help you this semester. If yes, in what aspects exactly and how much did of what you've learnt helped you this time? If no, why didn't they help you?

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test M05
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
| LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe | RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |
So, which do you think am I?
And which are you?
Is it correct describing you?

SPEED TALK: My favourite opinion M05
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.
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?

UHL 2322
Hi, if you are in this class, CONGRATULATIONS! It means that you have passed UHL 2312.
Anyway, as explained in class, UHL 2322 is an extension of what UHL 2312 was. We expect you to apply whatever you learnt last semester this semester, especially when you present. Hence the reason why Presentation Skills were the very first thing you learnt in English class.
Anyway good luck and happy blogging!
