注意事項

1. Blog 訂閱的功能正在請教資訊老師解決。目前只能自己加入我的最愛或將此blog放置(link)在你的部落格，隨時就可以看到新訊息。
2. 同學必須針對自己的主題找資料(網路上、坊間書籍都有這些主題的敘述)，然後做成投影片，上台報告。上台時請勿看稿唸。老師這邊也有些原文資料，我會把它交給小老師 (日小老師可找惠風老師拿)。同學真得找不到資料時，再求助小老師。
3.如果校長室隔壁的會議室不開會，我們就在那上課，否則就必須在語言教室。小老師必須事先找校長秘書確定。
4. 製作投影片，可參考此PowerPoint例子1，例子2 (夜106 Vincent的作品)。

Syllabus of Research Project

Second Semester, 2009

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION
Research Project is a course that helps you experience methods of discovery, critical thinking, logical analyses, and problem-solving and even reach the demands of the community. It is a course that offers you a chance to go beyond what you know and think and incorporate ideas by others, and to present your integrated products. To involve in the course, you will need to choose a subject and do a series of studying and researching. You will need to access the Internet, to check out books from the library, and perhaps to interview several people to discover information or reach a new understanding. Most important, to present your integrated works, you will need to polish your writing and oral presentation skills. The class activities this semester will focus on the skill of presentation and video/audio projects.

Final Reminder

Dear all,

Since it is time to the end of the semester, I am sure each of you is terribly busy writing your final paper. However, it is impossible for me to revise your paper and discuss with you right after you hand in your paper because of my tight schedule and too many papers handed in at the same time. Thus, I can only suggest you send your digital file or write emails to me if you have questions or problems writing your papers.

Cheers,
Chris
PS.
欲參加論文比賽的同學請告知老師，以便寒假時你我一起修正及討論你的paper.
論文繳交包括紙本及電子檔。

Here Comes the Conclusion!

In the conclusion of a research paper, we usually start with restating the theme of the project, the steps throughout the process, and the issues that affect the research. Also, we have to report the results or findings and explain how and why. Most importantly, do not forget to write down our implications. Try to put something that we have made in the certain context and show how our research is related to issues in the greater world.

Sounds familiar? Right! Why not take a look at this formula?
Conclusion = a summary of the introduction, the thesis, and the findings + your implications.

Remember what I mentioned in class: “Your small step could be a giant leap for the society and for the world!”
