Part 2 of 2. A continuation to this post.

Ethnic Relations - Enjoyed the lectures but not the group presentations. I know these presentations are important. But sometimes I can't help thinking how time-wasting these kind of presentations are. *smiles bitterly*

The lecturer was sometimes funny & I like his way of explaining things. At random times, during 5-minute breaks, he would share his youth's weird stories/misadventures with us. Some were plain weird. Some were TOTALLY weird. And awkward. Sometimes awkwardly gay (reminded me of Nakatsu). A friend of mine once commented "WHAT is he talking about?" with a WTH face. Oh, well~


French Language - I like [my] French lessons. Enough said.


Language and Communication - Killer lecturer. Haha. She said that herself. That's the first time I heard of such terminology.

Even though it's a hard-to-get-A course, it's hard to not like the lecturer! I thought she was a really, really cool person. She knows her field very well. I love her lectures.

Oh yeah. It's also the first time I had a presentation session that doesn't include other students. The lecturer was our only audience. But it was still scary though although she gave us freedom to pick anything to talk about. My friend and I took some risk for our group presentation. It was my idea (Eve, it's okay if you want to blame me later). I was thinking that because she's a "killer lecturer" it didn't matter anymore if we get an A or not. It's better to choose a topic that we (or me only, if Eve beg to differ) were interested in or familiar with. I wanted an unconventional topic that she would want to hear.

And that topic was, "Twitter".

We talked about the effects of communication through Twitter. Well... actually it was more about examples. How fast news (including false ones) traveled through Twitter. How Twitter affected movie-goers (Bruno?). The Kevin Smith & Southwest Airlines incident (actually I'm not really sure if I included this because of the limited time given, but it's in our notes). Eve talked about Bustin Jieber Justin Bieber. How people is tweeting at wrong/inappropriate times (burglar in the house, death of child etc).

She groaned when we told her the title of the topic. I half guessed that some students had presented about Facebook to her. Anyway. She responded to some examples (when we talked about tweeters who tweeted about their abortion as if it's a common thing in daily life), which I took as a good sign - she was listening (actually she was busy on her computer during presentation).
