In this class, we learned formal writing for the academic essays. Rab wrote several sentences on blackboard, and we tried to find mistakes in the sentences. By that activity, we could learn...
- do not use "don't " or "couldn't "
- do not start sentences with the word and,but,because, and other kinds of connection words.
-do not use "etc" or "and so on"
-do not use idiom
-do not use personal expressions such as I think, my, and others .
-do not start the sentence with the same word of the last sentence's first word.
-do spell check.
Also, we learned how to use quotes, and reference of it. Quote should be less than 20% of the whole essay.
Regarding as style, the length between sentences should be 1.5-2.0. Formal style should same length of both sides.
By this lecture, I could not only learn about it but also practice again and again to check whether the sentences in academic writing is correct or not.
In that point, I thought the class is effective.

In this class, we learned about how to write essay. Rab told 5A's to explain choosing appropriate topic for academic essay. We should choose topics which is academic, attractive, argumentative, have an access to search information, and achievable one.Also, he told Rules of 3 to explain what structure should be done in academic essays. We should write introduction,3 bodies, and conclusion. In introduction, the important point is three things. That is, get attention, enough background, and thesis statement. Thesis statement has also 3 important things, topic ,claim, and 3 reasons(=supporting ideas). Mentioned in body, we should write each supporting idea with 3 evidences. Regarding as conclusion, it should include summary, conclusion , and suggestion. Also, he told us about title, too. It needs two parts, title and sub title. Title should include some humor, and the sub title should include more explanation and show the position.
I thought good point of the class was that Rab's lecture itself includes a lot of technics which can use in writing essay, too. He get attention by saying Whoa!!!! in class, said several jokes not to make students boring.

In this class, we shared our blogger's address on google groups. Then, we learned about google reader. It can save a lot of URL, make folders, and check whether there is any new article easily. Also, it is useful to search some articles which includes specific words.
I thought the good point of the class was to use a screen to explain how to use google reader. Even though I knew there is a google reader in that class, I could get used to it soon because of it.
One thing I thought it needs more improvement was that some people could not do it as same speed as other classmate. I could do it with other classmate, however, I felt Rab's teaching speed was little fast, too.

In this class, we took a topic of Barna, for the first time. We searched about 3B, Background,Biography,and Bias.And then, we discussed about the content of Barna. More concretely to say, we think about the examples of Assumption of Similarities, Language Differences, Nonverbal Misinterpretations.
I thought the good point of this way of class is to be enable to understand text more deeply. In addition, to think examples is worthy in that we can feel the text at hand. Also, this work can leads developing student's ability of exploiting text's contents in their own daily life.

In this class, we discussed about high anxiety through Rab's example. He told us "Your essay was so bad.3A is the worst class for this 5years I'm teaching in here" Then, we thought what is our impression toward his way of teaching. Most of opinions are negative one. Then, he told us it was joke and he was not angry. Even he showed "I am joking" by winking several times, nobody didn't notice the fact.
The explanation is really simple and appropriate to tell what the high anxiety is. By using the example which is familiar with our life, the explanation became easy to understand.
