Participation in the Seminar is a very important part of this course. It is the one chance that you have each week to interact with your classmates and your instructor real-time. Seminar is a great opportunity to cover course material in a fun and dynamic forum where you can discuss what you’ve learned in each unit and ask questions about topics that you don’t yet understand. Students should actively participate in each seminar. During each seminar, the instructor will be asking students lots of questions from the reading assignments, so there will be many opportunities to answer and to make additional comments or ask questions of your own.
By far Ms. Peacocke had me on the edge of my bed reading about her analysis of Family Guy taking her time out to explain the show in real life situations and using it in everyday life was tremendous. She is very persuasive throughout the article she comes strong with concrete examples from the show, exploiting every aspect. Peacocke uses her analysis skills to show specific examples of how Family Guy intelligently mocks modern American society and she causes the reader to question their ethics, emotions, and sometimes even their motives. Following this further, we see that Peacocke explains her perspective with different concepts; she expresses a good amount of different rhetorical appeals in this article. One of her first comes from an episode

Assessment Briefing Cosca Counselling Skills certificate course Module 1 | | Marie Rodger 2014 This Essay is given from my own perspective of the course so far. The initial class intro gave everyone a chance to express what their individual needs, wants and most of all expectations regarding the course were. It gave the tutors a chance to explain the foundations of the course its aims and limitations from their position as trainers and the introduction of a “working agreement” between us the students.

If everything fails, my only option left is make her sit in front of my desk. The other option I have available is to change my teaching methods to suit this particular student. I know that she is very outgoing and talkative; I can use this to my advantage by having more class discussions and by assigning more presentations for homework.

Slattery December 21, 2011 IDS/Creative Voice Final Exam: Dream Curator INSPIRATIONS As I sat in front my computer prepared to write a paper called the “Dream Curator” and thinking about all of the art projects that were presented in class, I have to say over all they were very inspiring.

At work there are many sources that could help me to learn the most that I can so that I can grow to the best of my ability.
