TO ALL CLASSES REGARDING EXAM/ESSAY PICK UP


Hello All,
I hope that you are all very happy now that the exams are behind you.
I know I am - now that all the grading is behind me. It took me countless hours at various coffee shops to finish, but finished it is.
You can pick up your exam sheets (IEC classe), graded essays (ECW classes) and your 'tiny' folded presentation evaluation sheets (PRES class) from my mailbox on the 8th floor, opposite the elevator. There is my last name TURALIJA (wrongly speelled in hangul, ghhhr) on the box. I will leave the box unlocked starting today, Thursday Dec. 21st, till next Friday Dec. 28th.

I won't in my office tomorrow, Friday. I already notified you about this in my previous post. However, should you need to contact me about the grade (if there's a mistake or for whatever other reason), please feel free to do so by calling me or sending me an email.
Have yourself a Merrry Little Christmas and a Happy Big New Year.
P.s. This a Xmas tree in my house last year. This year, I've been too busy, so no Xmas tree yet. Sad, eh? Next week...

ALL CLASSES: Pick up your written work Dec. 20th on

Dear All,
- if you want to pick up the corrected exam sheets and know the grade for your final oral skit (IEC)
- if you want to pick up the final written assignment corrected and commented (ECW)

You can do so.
How?
By coming to my office on Dec. 20th (Thursday). I will be in my office from 5:30 - 6:30p.m. (I had to change the date from Friday because I have obligations with my Korean class)
If you had enough of me and don't want to see anymore of me, but still want to get your papers/evaluation, check my mailbox on the same day, Dec. 21st. I will leave it unlocked all day long with envelopes clearly marked as IEC day, IEC Night, ECW Day, ECW Night, Presentatio. Find the one for your class and pick up your stuff
Happy Holidaze

HU Seniors' Party for Profs! A blast!










Wow! Our seniors threw a truly wonderful party for professors. It was so much fun: from delicious Samgyupsal, over dozens of beer pitchers at a small yet cozy bar to dancing and singing at a norae-bang. Thanks a lot, seniors. I will miss you so much! Some of you I've known since you first day at Hansung, which was also my first day at Hansung. What a connection. Don't be a stranger, please! Contact your old teacher. May you be happy, healthy, wealthy, loving and loved, now and always.

ECW Last Two Weeks (Dec 3/4, Dec 11/12)

WEEK OF DECEMBER 10/11th no class.
Submit your final assignment by putting it inot my mailbox on the 8th floor of the Professors' Building (Yeonggukwan).
Submit:
1. brainstorming sheet
2. outline
3. final draft of final assignment
4. peer evaluation form of the last assignment (if you were absent the week of Dec. 3,4 you don't have this)

PLEASE, READ THIS NOTE:


Dear All,

first of all, thank you so much for all your hard work. Wow! So much writing, right?
I hope you learned something.
I just had a bit of time to look at your evaluation forms. Your opinion about my teaching is more important to me than anybody else's because you are the ones directly affected by it.
Once I look at the forms in more detail, I will respond to your concerns individually.
Please, check the blog after the semester ends and the grades are posted.
Thank you so much for all your kind words and wishes. A teacher is the happiest when students appreciate her hard work. I especially thank those students who included constructive criticism and suggested ways to improve the class with honesty and enthusiasm.
I will try to incorporate your wishes in my next semester's ECW class.
I also hope to have a much smaller writing class. Having 29 students in a night writing class, many of very different levels of proficiency, is a recipe for disaster, BUT thanks to you, the class was quite successful and enjoyable to teach. Good job!

I will really miss you! Don't be strangers. If you need help with English, or just want to chat with me (or help me with my Korean homework, hehehe), stop by my office. I'd love to see you.

Have yourselves a great, greatest Holiday Season ever.
Youre magistra
