We got some information and handouts about summarizing and we were given an assignment to summarize an article we are going to use for our research paper. Try to use information given in the handouts for the summaries.
We missed 12/10 and 15/10 Classes due to our teacher's illness but we are going to have some make up classes in order to catch up.

Today we concentrated on how to make summaries and we started working on making a summary for an article we've found for our research paper.
Before summarizing:
1) Read the article fast
2) Go through the article again carefully
3) Highlight the important parts
We'll continue next time.
Oh a notice- We are going to hang out in glyfada this Friday at around 19:00, i hope everyone joins us.
(I'll be a bit late, i got classes till 18:00)

Heya!
Today we were given some papers about the research paper, we had some absences so if you weren't in class make sure to ask for a copy! Oh, and add in the papers that you need to have in your final research paper your draft and 10 note cards you decided not to include in the end.
We also talked about making a word club... Hmm... I hope I get the time for that...
Let's do some activity altogether too!
Personally I'd like to try some paintball or something...
Hmm so to make things easier for people who want to find out what to write in their comments... What would you like to do?
My vote's for paintball~
(Had so many friends saying how cool it is never had the chance to try it myself!)
What do you guys think? What's your suggestion?
Also you may contact me at aeon7 ( at) hotmail (d ot) com if you have an MSN Messenger account for anything you might need~

Today we discussed the bibliography which would be appropriate for each essay.
For example, for a topic like Legalized Gambling it's easy to find information in psychology books and weekly magazines whereas for a subject like Divorced parents sociology books would provide much information.
If you want suggestions on where to get more resources for your paper place a comment here and let's discuss.

New Month, a step closer to 2008... to be honest I don't really want 2007 to end.
Today~ We analyzed yet the parts of our argumentative research paper.
We concentrated on the opposing oppinions of our paper- how we should accept and refute it successfully. We mentioned we should avoid using words like "never" "always" "everyone" "noone" etc.
I hope you visited the library by now, if not you should soon, although I think I shouldn't have borrowed 5 books already- you can only keep em for 2 weeks after all and I only had the chance to read almost one of them.
Just click on "add comment" in order to say anything to wish in this blog, or ask how you can add your very own entry posts as well.
Till next time~

Today we reviewed what we've seen in EN1010 about essay structure but we generalised the format for our research paper.
We start with our topic - thesis statement where we include our main supports.
Then- We distribute our pages and give for each of them one of our main supports and we analyze it, then move to the next one give it some pages etc.
In the last page before the conclusion we have the refutation of the opposing claims on our subject.
The first thing we have to look into is our opposition, bear it in mind through our whole research paper and refute it in the last page before the conclusion.

Today we talked about our progress up to now for our research paper.
Also we examined some research papers other people wrote.
Ideally a research paper should have
1 Title page
1 Outline page
Around 6 Body pages
Works Cited pages - mentioning resources directly used for the research paper.
They around around 8.
Bibliography - mentioning resources indirectly used and inspired us in our research paper.
Then all the material used follows in photocopied pages, only the material that was actually used not texts that gave us ideas.
Till next time. Plan going on the uptown library soon since we'll be regularly saying what we did for the research paper in class. I plan going on Tuesday since i got midterms etc but I'll order some books to be brought in downtown library for me to pick up in the meantime- you should try the same if you can't easily go in the uptown library.

Today it was the 5 minute presentation day for a person we admire.
There were some very interesting persons introduced to us through each other's presentations.
We have to write till next time what is the thing we think we lack and what are our strong points in the presentations...
We came across something else too, the moral of the class was :
Be more aware of your surroundings, people around you, the world around you...
A side note- The debate club was quite interesting, I found it quite inspiring for today's presentation but I think if I was out there I would add some more points on "Why rules are made to be broken" which was their topic.
I mean, after all rules are created to serve a current purpose, when that purpose no longer needs to be surved, they have to be broken and it's not always about when it has to be broken but by whom and for what reason...
till next time...

Today we discussed about our research papers in general.
Sharing some of my notes
>First Draft must be ready by 25th of November and 2 weeks later we'll have our final paper.
>It has to be 1500-2000 words long and have:
"Contains"
"Title page"
"Outline Page"
"Body Pages"
"Works Cited Page" (I hope I didn't spell this wrong)
"Bibliography Page"
"Photocopies section"
We'll get more info about each of them in due time but by then we should choose our topic.
Some topics I noted down are:
Gifted Children
Vegeterianism
Children's Fantasy Litterature (for/against)
Aggression & Environment (born aggressive or become aggressive?)
Does Pornography cause violence (I actually took a note on this one just because noone will actually have the courage to write a topic about it :P)
Should Legal Gambling (lottery etc) be banned?
Multiculturalism vs monoculturalism
Hypnosis - Successful treatment or not
Juveniles - death penalty or not
Euthanasea (I mispelled this one too didn't I?)
Don't forget, Wednesday we'll be again in the Library in Xenias building and in Friday afternoon we should meet in Agia Paraskevi... I got lucky my Business law class tutor that I had at 17:00-18:00 will be missing so I'll be able to join ya there ;)

Hello World!~
"Hello World" is the first thing that appeared in the screen of the world's first computer when the programmers finished working on it so I decided to use that for our blog as well.
To be honest I'm pretty shy in real life and since it seemed most people in our class are and since we are meant to work as a team I thing this webpage can help.
We can say what we discussed in class for people that missed it as well as ask for each other's oppinion for our research papers etc.
Just reply in this first message and I'll give you access in order to place posts etc as well!
It's fun 'n easy ;)
