Sun 9th - Thurs 13th Dec

Hi Everyone

As I expect you all know by now. I went home to England for a short holiday to see my family but my father who is ninety-four was rushed to hospital. We have now brought him home to die as the hospital can do no more. Therefore, I will not be in class next week.

You are very lucky because we had completed all the classwork on time and you now just have to prepare for the presentation.

Steve Alison, the supervisor of Cultural Diversity knows everything about the deadlines for your coursework and presentations. He will be looking at your hardcopy PowerPoint presentations. So please have them in the box by Sunday.

You must come to class next week on time with a charged laptop as Steve Allison will be coming around to do the course evaluations. Remember what I said to you - sometimes the things that you think are hard, actually turn out to be the best for you in the end!

Steve will also be organising a timetable for the presentations. You all must be on time for your presentations with everything completely ready. Every team member must speak for at least five minutes.

As I will not see you before the break, I hope that you have a lovely holiday and return refreshed to start the new semester.

Warm regards

Frankie

Classes this week

Hi Everyone

Good news! You do not need to come to class this week.

However, you must get together in your team and produce the powerpoint that you will use in your final presentation.

  • The first slide of the PowerPoint must have all the names, IDs and photos of the team members.
  • The second slide must be the contents page and list what you are going to cover in the presentation
  • The report for the powerpoint presentation (PowerPoint notes) must include the name of the person who is presenting that part of the presentation and a summary of what the student is going to say.

Please remember that although it is a team effort and all members must know about the whole presentation, students who do not perform well will get a lower mark.

A hardcopy of the PowerPoint presentation and notes must be in the box on my desk by Sunday 9th December.

Good Luck

Frankie
