What is the most interesting thing you have learned since the start of this class?

Giving the presentation was the most interesting thing so far. because I know i'm going to be doing more presentations for this class and this (although I wasn't confident because it was my first time doing something like this in english) was a very good practice for future presentations in LPC.

Glad you found it helpful (Linda).

With which points made did you agree most (in relation to the discussion re mission statements / learner profile/ UWC values)?

I completely agree with the IB mission statement being a lot condescending and saying that the people who take IB must have these abilities and also I with the general consent that the uwc values were much more welcoming and supportive than that of the ib mission statement. I also agree with jason's comment about propaganda

You need to explain why you get this impression. A little more effort to provide a commentary on how the texts work, please! I think this is a misreading of tone (the attitude of the author). Educational organisations have to set goals/ideals. What would you see as 'acceptable ideals'? Is it the values themselves or the content/form of the webpage that is more inviting? What about it, exactly? What about the register? What is the difference between stating ideals/objectives and propoganda? Demonstrate critical thought and put more time/effort into your work (Linda).Show some understanding of the similarities between the documents as well.

With which points did you disagree most (in relation to the discussion re mission statements / learner profile / UWC values)?

I actually don't remember anything that I disagreed with.

Arshia, where is your 'Beloved' homework (author background, publication background, novel's setting)?
