ARW Review on 26th, 10.

we discussed the our essay almost all of the time, because lots of us didn't go to Rab's tutorial in this week. However, I could discuss other group members about the essay content or structure. Giving help each other makes better idea, and I hope some of my idea would be a deal of my friend. Beyond the range of task, some of other essays which is concerning about my favorite topic such as Israeli issue or immigration issue provided me new interest towards that field. I'm so thankful to these friend.

We learned how to use pictures or graphs effectively in our essay. Including something symbolize the essay at the first makes reader easy catching that essay's topic effectively, and some use of statistics or graphs also make reader easy understanding about the confused information which is treated in the essay. Finally i decided not including the picture or figure (graph also) on this time. But Rab's lecture gave me some ideas to show essay more effectively.

We have more or less prejudical view towards everything. For example, in my case, I unconsisously have prejudical view that U.S. navy development on the Pacific is no problem, but China's equip of new and first aircraft is very problematic. It is very amazing thing for me, and it was also good thing for me to discuss political or deplomatic issue which is now controvercial or which is very familiar with us.

We learned essay structure and essay annotation, and also discussed the legitimacy of ELA reader. ELA reader certainly has a great value, but it is so heavy and so expensive, and contained materials are not up to date was the main topic of our discussion. Rab merely use ELA reader, and I love that kind of teaching style. ELA reader is not convenient to use and carry because of its scale and height, and its capital of material is soooo small and makes me really terrible feeling while reading it. RCA of course using it naturally, so I have to bring it university almost everyday because RCA task also requires the existence of ELA reader!!!

We learned about using Evernote effectively. When I learned it at R&P class, frankly speaking, notebook or handwriting would be better for me to take some information from books or internet. However, Rab’s talk makes me change! Evernote has very nice functions such as paste all of articles of internet, take in videos, and edit it freely. And, it is also helpful for us to work with Zotero. Zotero and Evernote will be my friend of technology.

We learned about Essay Structure. I noticed that it is important to make a wave of pro-con side in the essay like music. Certainly, essays which are organized in such a way will be evaluated and also very easy to read/understand.

We also learned how to presentation! Presentation is Rab's very strong sales point, actually, but it is the very first time for us to learn about presentation skill from Rab. I want to know more detail about presentation skill.

Today, I canceled class because of my attendance to IMF annual meeting in Tokyo. So today, I write  about brief information on meeting.

IMF's 2012 meeting now holds in Tokyo, and there are three meeting halls; TIF (Tokyo International Forum locates in Yurakucho, near Ginza), Imperial Hotel and Hotel Okura. I attended three meetings, and two of them are held in Hotel Okura. I met several foreingn persons, for example, from Malaysia, Angola. There were many African people, including  South- Sudan's man. The reason why I can recognized his nationality was that he fasten lapel pin which figures South-Sudan's national flag. Unfortunately I can't talk with him, but I certainly feel African power and Africa's potential in the economic perspective.

Seminars also very interesting for me, but because of using lots of terms in economics I can't understand sometimes mainly in the seminar about sovereign risk and euro crisis issue. Youth dialogue was also held at the meeting, and the topic of that seminar was the role of Asian nations and IMF in the global economy.  Panelists' nationality is Japan, Korea, China, and Thailand, so that was very interesting and stimulating conversation. I met some students who are now studying economics or international affairs, and was surprised by their high level English. I have to study English more and more.

I'll attend that meeting 12th and 13th, too.

We cannot use technology well such as Rab. But, we didn't have an attitude that to use technology massively. We are living in modern "technological" society, so it is inevitable to use technology. so, it is more comfortable and smart to use it in very useful way.

However, I have also problem with my working essay mainly caused technological reason. Now I'm editing my essay's references, and my Zotero doesn't work at my Word 2011 on Microsoft (Not Word 2011 on Mac). Although I installed add-in for Zotero working in my Word, it doesn't work. Furthermore, computer says that add-in for Zotero working in Word 2011 has been installed correctly and successfully.  Is anybody can solve that problem.????

It was last September's class. It is too fast to pass the time.

We learned connected with Fisher. We see three videos :Japan's shape ( with English transcription), Australia's CM which abuse Japan, and very scared video walking the man called Road of King. Our impression toward first one is somehow positive, because it is very funny thing for us to interpret our culture such a way. However, considering the existence of eniglish transcription, I had a little care about spreading misunderstanding about Japanese culture or habit. Second one has very political color, and we noticed that some Australians percepts Japanese as eating whale nations (savage tribes). Third one was very interesting, because the man who taking the video camera didn't take care about his life, and maybe he didn't precept that is dangerous action.Eventually, "perception is up to us".
