Post Class Reflection (Week 4)

-


    Today, we got to attend our Technical Communication class after a few days gap with a heart full of excitement and extremely hopeful eyes expecting to learn something new. But before seeing the presentations, today we learnt to write acrostic poems, a part of literary writings where certain letters of a word spell out a word, sentence or meaning. I would definitely share mine at last. Then our teacher showed us a video on how the Internet works. In the previous weeks, we used to play quiz but this time it was something new and equally educative. Our classes have been virtual since the beginning as a part of new normal but still it is as effective as the regular classes.


 First of all, a group of my friends gave presentation on “Scientific Journal Articles”. This can be really important for scientists and researchers as some studies and findings might not be completed or discovered within their lifespan. So they can publish their studies so that others can read it and take their research on that topic further. But while writing these, one must be always careful about the copyright issues as one should be aware enough to publish his/her own work. The journal papers should include about the procedures and methods used in the research and also the apparatus used in it. This type of writing has many rules and aspects that one must take care of while writing. The journal articles must be self-explanatory about the entire studies so that the readers can understand it.

 

Then a second group gave their presentation on “To know a Fly” written by Vincent Dethier, which was about a scientist and his interest in the field of science. And after this presentation, we further discussed a little about the Toulmin’s Model and its importance in the arguments. Then Eak sir explained about the arguments between the intellects and the role of Toulmin’s Model. Many of my friends presented their opinions. And after a brief session of interaction, the class concluded.

So here goes my acrostic poem,

S = Sincere

A = Ambitious

R = Reliable

 I = Invincible

 N = Nice Learner

The Unwanted Parcel

     It was a snowy Saturday morning in the chilly cold month of December somewhere in Dehradun, which was about 241.4 km from Delhi, capital of India. I came here all the way from Lalitpur, Nepal with my parents to travel around Dehradun, a popular tourist destination of India. We also had a plan to visit a Medical College named Dehradun College of Medical Sciences, a renowned college of India, for me to study MBBS in it the following year as I was studying in grade 12 that year. We had rented a small house that belonged to some local rich man. The house was a kilometer away from the college hostel, and we stayed there as we could not find any suitable lodges in the town and those available were quite uncomfortable and dirty. It had been 3 days since we got here. My mother had just ended a phone call with my maternal grandparents, who were in Nepal. They were quite upset that they could not come along with us as the winter in Dehradun was quite unbearable and they w...

Post Class Reflection: Week 8

Today, on 2 nd September, 2020, we attended one more English Class. I took today’s class with same joy and excitement like the previous classes. There were 2 very interesting presentations lined up for today which made us happier. All of us were eager to begin today’s class and so were the presenters to present their presentations.   The class began with two of my friends presenting on a short story named “Mr. Know All” written by William Somerset Maugham. This was a very interesting story that was presented in an even more fascinating technique. This story deals with the theme of “ Never judge a book by its cover” , with the mentality of people who still carry thoughts of racism. The story tells us that the outer appearance could never unveil the inner reality. The various aspects of this story were presented by the presenters such as the racism that had been shown within the story and various other angles of the story that made it even clearer.     After this, ...

Post Class Reflection: Week 6

  “Knowledge is a treasure that follows its owner everywhere.” So with this positive note, I would like to begin post class reflection of today’s English class, which was as spell binding as the previous classes. One and half hours of learning with equally interesting interactions and discussions with Eak sir was all I needed to write this blog. Today we mainly discussed on Technical Communications part, where we learnt how to write “Incident Reports” and “Lab Reports”.   Firstly few of my friends presented on “Incident Reports”. It was a type of report which was written by the observer of some kind of incident especially damage of physical property or some kind of mishap. These kinds of reports had to answer all types of Wh-questions i.e. what, where, when, etc. regarding that incident such as place, time, cause, effect and damage caused. A reader of the incident report had to understand the entire scenario of the incident and its effects. It had to be completely different...
