Final comments to level 8


I think level 8 is a very challenging but doable. I felt like real university courses with respect to the course work. Not only the research project is similar to university requirement with respect to searching library, writing and presenting, but also reading articles, text book project, evaluating the novel, writing summary and attending formal lectures (public lecture) are all good preparation for university.
Blogging was a really good exercise, not only because of writing but also experiencing doing assignments online is very important because many school now use internet for teaching. I really recommend this level for anyone who wants to attend university as a good preparation.

With respect to unite that I like the most is male and female communication. I was interesting topic. It creates good discussions and I learn how male and female are different in communication. Also ‘Looking for job’ was also an interesting unit. I leanred how to write good CV that has important information but not too much. In addition, animal experimenting was good topic that makes a lot of discussion including the debate. Happiness unite was also interesting and we learnt how to read two different papers and summarize them and state their differences and similarity. This was good learning training.
With respect things that I think should be replaced, I think the international marketing project should be changed to more general one. The exercise was ok but only the topic is not easy and too specific.

Finally, I notice that I learned listening, writing, reading and speaking all together which makes the learning more interesting rather than studying them in separation.
