Through This Course

Through shi course, my difficulty was to keep up with the bloggs and reserch paper. I always forgot to post the articles and the most difficult one is summarizing Shackleton's book. Because of lack of my English ability, I tend to use the similar words with the original. I looked up the dictionary, but I still cannot find the appropriate words. Weblio, the web dictionary which works Japanese-English and English-Japanese translation was so useful because it has a lot of examples, and synoniums.
To make the post more comprehensive, using web articles was good way. Finding the similar ideas from Shackleton's book, and try to find the most interesting or important parts. This helped to express my English and summarize good points.
Reserch paper was though, I do not want to write it anymore. Since I borrowed a lot of books from the library, I thought my works cites have to be the borrowed books, but it was easier to use web resources because it has more English documents than those in library. I regret I should use web resources in the beggining.I also regret I should have taken RW in spring term because I forgot how to do citation.
The interesting topic was how to make good impression on people. Making good first impression is important in human-relationship. I feel my first impression became stronger. Actually, my impression is a little bit strong originally.
I would like to practice all those I learned in this course and develop my skills as leader. Also, I need to improve my English skills, too.

  1. Hi Hiromi,

    Thanks for these posts and especially a great summary post. It was insightful for me to hear about your challenges with the Shackleton book and your use of Weblio, which is new to me. And yes, web sources are easier these days, especially when you have the ability to search them easily for what you need. The problem is that there is so much information that it requires good knowledge about how to organize the information.

    Finally, I am glad that you like the bit about interpersonal communication. I encourage you to develop your skills further, especially with smiling more! That will open more doors for you in life I guarantee it.
