TS 10/4/20

             I met with Saad today and we tried to mix it up a little. Today we focused on some useful skills for graduate school and reading academic articles. We discussed a short article I found that gives some tips on summarizing an article. We also talked about skills to use for skimming and scanning a text. How to manage your time properly was also something he wanted to talk about and the importance of organization. I closed our discussion on the importance of making sure you understand the main ideas of an article. That rewriting the main idea in your own words will really challenge your comprehension of an article and it will help down the line when you have to write a paper using the article.

CP 10/9/20

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
