1. Get the Japan Times (JT) on the morning of Saturday, September 29, 2007 at a newsstand of a train station near your house. Note that the JT is a morning paper and that you cannot buy it in the afternoon. If you should forget to get the JT, go to the JT by the next class and buy a copy of the news paper. See here and this map for info about where the JT is. You should call their Sales department first before you go there.
2. Use the JT and finish Handout, pp. 3-4.
3. Read Handouts (pp. 5-6 and 9-10) and prepare for the next class.
4. Start thinking about the topic of your first presentation. Your presentation date comes a lot faster than you think!
1. Check to see if you have all class handouts (pp. 1-12, 15-18 + 6b) and put them in a folder or a binder.
2. Read Handout (pp. 5-6) and finish the following homework:
(1) Homework in Section III on p. 6
(2) Homework #2 on pp. 7-8.
3. Read Steps 1 and 2 of the OP#1 (the first presentation) on pp. 9-11 and start preparing for your OP#1 little by little, according to the schedule in the Schedule section of our homepage.
1. Read the Presentation Technique Checklist (Handout, pp. 13-14, and all handouts that are related to this checklist, pp. 22-35) and review Study Skills presentation techniques for your first presentation (MOP).
It seems that we had a really good baseball game between Keio and Waseda on Sunday! I hope many of you enjoyed it at the stadium. Since the weather is going to be sunny tomorrow on Monday, it is quite likely for us to have the important baseball game tomorrow. As you know, if we have the game, we will NOT have our class. You should go to the game and cheer for Keio, so that we will win the championship! As for our presentations, we need to postpone all of them by one class. If this happens, make sure that you change your schedule, especially for your presentations. If we do not have the game tomorrow for some reason, however, we will definitely have our classes and presentations according to the schedule, of course.
