Dear students,
It's time for the second out of three online reflection assignments for English for Science & Technology I:
- Give Andrew McAfee's and Abha Dawesar's respective TED talks 'Are droids taking our jobs?' and 'Life in the Digital Now' 15+12 minutes of your undivided attention,
- write a reflection based on or relating to one of the talks (as a whole or in part, and in as much detail as you like), and
- post your entry on your blog page by Thursday 12 November.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts and reactions,
Andy
PS Tip: all TED talks come with optional subtitles (see bottom of the video clip box) and transcripts (see right below the box) which you're allowed to use to facilitate your work / aid your memory as long as you set the language to English. :-)

Next, read and react to peer entries!
Dear students,
Thanks for the interesting thoughts you've shared so far - keep them coming!
Your next e-mission is to browse online reflection 1 entries via the 'Reflecting students' section on the right and then comment on the thoughts of your next-door neighbours (that is, the one listed right above you and the one listed right below you from 1 October onwards) + at least one other listed student of your choice. You're free to comment on whatever aspect(s) you want (including linguistic ones if you feel competent/confident enough) in as much detail as you like. If your blog is accessible by invitation only, please don't forget to send an invitation to your next-door neighbours and me - thank you!
If your next-door neighbour(s) should fail to meet the posting deadline, it's no longer your duty (but still your right) to comment on their work. As long as you comment on at least three online reflection 1 entries in total by Thursday 15 October, you can safely choose to ignore overdue ones.
Enjoy your reading and commenting,
Andy
