What did I do this week/session?
I have had to memorize a presentation, which I will do tomorrow. I have made amendments to original powerpoint show, in order to remember the statistics a bit better. I also wrote up notes for Communication for Jerry, using the Cornell method, which although rather interesting.* I also looked at the character of Frank and his advice on essay writing for Literature.
What was the most interesting thing I did for this session (mark it above with an asterisk) - why was that?
Using the Cornell method was useful, but I found it a bit complex for my liking. I can write a bit of short hand and find that easier rather than this. However it may just be a case of practising.
What were three main things I learned from this session?
I have learnt about the Cornell method, and how to make a powerpoint effective in order to remember certain facts, on top of the imperfect subjunctive.
What did I previously think was true, but now know to be wrong?
I found the word of mouth programme on languages very interesting. It has made me more aware of the different ways of which we can unconsciously switch to and from a language.
What did I not do that I expected I should have done?
History revision, that'll have to be tackled tonight.
What was new or surprising to me?
That it's taking me so long to get round to history revision, I thought I would of at least started it over the weekend.
What have I changed my mind about, as a result of this session?
I have decided to introduce myself to researching a bit about the fall of the Inca empire for my history investigation, seen as originally I was going to do it on Irish history.
One thing I learned in this session that I may be able to use in future is...
Not to set things in stone to much, I am now doing my presentation for Spanish tomorrow, but thought I'd of done it by yesterday.
Ideas for action, based on this session...
To research history topic.
What I most liked about this session was...
The fact that I passed my first Spanish assessment, and have passed literature essay.
What I most disliked about this session was...
I still feel like I've not done much.

Thoughts after watching presentation
Generally speaking I am an exceptionally nervous person and personally find the form of presentation as most problematic one. The only way to change this, I assume, is to practice more. Nevertheless, in my opinion it is hard to change ones character and suddenly turn into a confident and socially open person even only for the time of presentation (unless a shot of sth stronger would be allowed). Like most of my colleagues from the course, I felt embarrassed while watching my presentation as it is hard to be critical to ourselves.
