Class 3/19/2009
Class last week was focused on semantics. We broke into groups and talked about specific lexical semantic groups such as hyponyms, part/whole relationships, synonyms, and antonyms. I thought these terms were pretty understandable in the reading. We also talked about practicing for our final assessment. We talked with our group members who we are supposed work together with for the practice writing sample. It is good that we were able to meet and talk with them because it keeps me organized and focused. Also the practice writing sample with be a good opportunity for me to prepare for the final assessment and give me a chance to practice what I have learned so far. My biggests concerns with class is working out technology bugs and also keeping track of group members. I feel often times that I am in too many groups and it is hard to keep track of which groups I am in for different activities. The online class makes it harder because I do not have a face to put with the name.

The small group discussions were a bit crazy last week. It seemed like our group waxed and waned in number a couple of different times.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we are able to practice with the writing sample also - although I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I am also having a hard time keeping track of which group I'm in, and who I need to work with - I rely on D2L where they are posted.
ReplyDeleteYou two are not alone in tms of keeping tracking. There are lots of things to do.
ReplyDeleteGood feedback about the problem of keeping track of which group you are in for what activity. My rationale was that I wanted you to get to know everyone in our class. I will keep this in mind for the future.
