Exam Grades and New Teams

New Cultural Diversity Teams

I will upload your exam grades to the gradebook in the next hour. Although there are some A students, there are also many Fs. Some students did not take the exam at all seriously. Even though they knew what the exam would concentrate on in week one of the semester i.e. the glossary, they still did not bother to learn the meaning of the words. Some students got below 20%

I will be introducing the final project this week. This is worth 30% of your mark. As there has been many drop outs on the course the teams need to be reorganized. There can only be four in a team. I advise you to think very carefully about who you have in your team. Someone who got a 20% in his exam is not likely to benefit your team much! Of course you are going to need the glossary words in your final presentation.

Please give me the details of your new team by your next class

CGK Future Centre Visit today

Hi Everyone

I have agreed to meet you at the Future Centre. You may have breakfast at the mall but please do not be late.

Cultural Views

Speaker	Quote	Meaning
	A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
	All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.
Sheik Zayed		Any country that doesn’t value its past, can’t appreciate its present or future. This country, thanks to God, has a rich past, does well for now and its expected future.
	Every individual is a meeting ground for many different allegiances, and sometimes these loyalties conflict with one another and confront the person who harbors them with difficult choices.
	A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.
	Traditions deserve to be respected only insofar as they are respectable – that is, exactly insofar as they themselves respect the fundamental rights of men and women.
ML King Jr.		God doesn’t care about skin color. God cares about freedom for everyone.
	My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Frank Borman		Looking at the earth from space, one wonders why we can’t get along decently.
	The love of one’s country is a splendid thing, but why should it stop at the border?
DD. Eisenhower		If people of the world can’t get along, nothing will work.
	Many countries go to war and then towards reconciliation. The history of mankind is full of stories of wars between people and states that have come together after fighting for long. Why can't Arabs be like them?
	I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
	For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free.
