LLA CLASS May 14th

LLA CLASS in the mac room!:)whoop!

Rab taught us about 'segmentation.' Personally, I think this is one of the biggest problems in traditional Japanese classes. Today for instance, I experienced a class where the teacher would just continue talking straight on for 70 minutes, alone. Some may say that it is in our responsibility to keep our attention in class to consume everything we can out of the time. However, that is extremely difficult and also has a limit. During class, I too lost my concentration for a second and started looking around the class. At first sight, you can see some students looking at their phones, some sleeping, some talking and very few people actually listening to the teacher. With just a little bit of effort and creativity thrown in, this class could be just as exciting as Rab's. (Well maybe not just as exciting since that is almost impossible.)

We learned how to make citations with just one click of a mouse. Although it seemed so easy when watching Rab do it on the screen, I found it somewhat difficult and confusing when I did it. I guess I just need some time to getting used to. Then, I could cite TED, youtube videos, imdb and a whole bunch of other cool sources on to my essay in just three seconds or less.

P.S.
Thank you so much for your email Rab! It made my day:) I hope it's sunny tomorrow so we can have that class on Bakayama!
