Library Visit Debrief -- Momoka

Today, I learned about searching for information. The particular interest were “Basic Boolean Operators”. I didn’t know that I can use “AND”, “OR”or “NOT”when I research something in the site. Also, I didn’t know that “Quotation Marks” and “Truncation” are useful for research. We will give a presentation in a group in few weeks, so I think these strategies are useful for research and they help us to gather reference material.

    I thought Amanda's speech was really simple and she told us important information. Let's do our best for researching for the 15minutes seminar.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

Hi class, think about what you have learned so far this week about the bubonic plague, the cholera epidemic, and the Spanish flu epidemic. What about these pandemics has surprised you the most? Which do you think would have been the most terrifying to face, and why? Are there any lessons we can learn from these pandemics when it comes to ensuring we are prepared for future pandemics? Finally, the clips we watched reported that the pandemics actually paved the way for various positive social changes.

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
