Kamusta Readers,
So far, this week had been the most erratic, thanks to non-stop rain. When you thought it was over, it would start again. Thanks to the rain, the nite run was canceled, and the offices were closed.
I only had 1 day of class observation. Monday was a holiday in honor of national hero Jose Rizal ( turning 150 years old ), and Friday was declared Faculty Day ( which was eventually canceled because of the rain ). During Wednesday's class, I worked with Student E ( discussed composing concerns, who focused on grammar first before content ) and Student R ( discussed brevity and redundancy ). The writing process was reviewed, Philippine English ( especially the idiom "Green" or "Off Color" ), and plagiarism ( which will be enforced until graduation ) were discussed.
While in the office, I reread a revised article for the Center's commemorative book celebrating 30 years of Best Practices due for a September 2011 release. I read keeping in mind the general criteria in addition to the editorial board's suggestions. Most of my suggestions dealt with developing the section about "Problematizing the practice."
I also discussed with Secretary V the tasks for a new project that concerns data gathering about the Center's activities from the last 5-20 years. My task involves perusing evaluations and flyers to categorize types of conference themes, workshop topics, and suggested topics. Analysis will be made by Project Manager M.
Outside the office, I revised the UbD article I'm planning to submit. Director N suggested that I change most of my prose from a 1st person point of view to a 3rd person point of view to achieve distance and objectivity while retaining audience's attention. The Editing Project is finally rolling. I helped Runner J create an outline ( so we can see the overall picture more concretely ), and we discussed the Abstract and Chapter 1 of his work.
