Organization--Monday Class
Hi ,everyone:
We will meet in Room 59
I had a nice conversation today with the bedel. At the beginning of the semester, the infrastructure situation is hectic & fluid. It settles down after a month or so.
This means that for the time being I'll bring to class my notebook and use it to show the PP presentation. If two of you take turns bringing their notebooks, we can all comfortably share the presentation in small groups. I guess you might upload the PP presentation on your Blackberry or Ipod too and be able to look at it while we discuss the topic in class. You can also print the 66 slides on big colour pages but it's rather expensive
The PP presentation means that we can all look at the same map/whatever at the same time instead of manually circulating many books with pictures, maps, etc.
I'll also bring the electronic materials on a pen drive so that you can save them in your notebooks. If you all bring pen drives you can all save the electronic materials for unit one during the lunch break.
The lunch break will be from 12 to 12:15/12:20. You can bring your sack lunch or we can order from the delivery service on the corner. (It's working, I checked). If you arrive in class after 12 & want to order lunch make sure you place your order with a classmate.
About Wednesday class, we all three thought long and hard about our predicament and decided on the lesser of two evils/a compromise/six of one and half a dozen of the other/the greatest happiness of the greatest number or, in short, it's no use crying over spilt milk...
You are 18 people, and if you make exactly, evenly--AND WE MEAN IT (YELL)-- 2 (two)groups of 9 (nine) each (from 10-12 and from 12-14) you will have a privileged experience that amounts to a private class with Ana & Claudia. You will move faster, everybody will have a chance to speak, read in a loud voice, ask questions, even write in class. The atmosphere of the class will be less awkward too. However, such highly personalized instruction means that if we don't keep up with the assignments and readings for each class there is nowhere to hide and the pressure to participate is enormous both on the students and the teacher. However, the benefits outweigh the pressure (when I took my EFL Teacher Education Program we were 6 students in all taking all the courses in the junior year. What luxury at a public university!)
We will finish compiling the Wednesday list on Monday at the end of the class.
Have a nice weekend

IH1: Wednesday classes_Final decision
Hi everyone,
After analyzing the whole situation about history classes and tutorials, overlapping with another junior course, we decided to have two sessions for our class + tutorial on Wed.(10-12 & 12-14).
Be nice, flexible & cooperative, we need even groups! So make your choice and write two lists tomorrow at Marcela´s class, please. Smaller sessions require harder work and stronger commitment to participate and keep up with your readings. We will also include tasks and exercises devoted to tutorial work in those sessions. We consider this is the best option for all of us.
Cristina will confirm those lists on Monday.
See you next week, Ana
