Week 1 - A New Semester A New Start (1104B)


            Welcome back dear students!

            I believe this brand new semester is crucial for each and every one of you as this is your final semester. Lectures will be tougher, assignments would be more challenging and it seems like you just do not have enough time to manage all of what semester 3 will hold for you. Fear not for those who are hardworking shall be rewarded with the fruit of success by the end of the semester.

            In this semester, FEE1323 English III will offer you an array of speaking and writing activities which requires your active participation in class. As usual, our syllabus will be based on IELTS but from time to time I will introduce some MUET activities to cater for those who will be sitting for the said exam this July.

            As part of the requirement of this course, you are required to respond to ONE blog journal on the issue that I will post on this blog every week. You are also required to respond to at least ONE of your friend’s blog entry. Your respond need not be too long (approximately 100 words will do). This blog journal activity will take place throughout the 14 weeks and your participation in this blog will contribute to your carry marks for this subject.

            For this week, I hope to hear about your expectations on this subject. Specifically, you may respond to these questions for this week’s blog:-

1. What do you wish to learn from English III?
2. What are the learning goals that you have set for yourself this semester?
3. How do you respond to the course requirements? (Test 1, Final, assignments)

            Happy blogging ^^
