Anyway, here are the mirror links for the Coverage PPT’s.

Coverage for 3rd yr

Coverage for 4th yr

First, coverages can be downloaded from links. (Clue: the links are named ‘Coverage for 3rd Quarter’, including for what year level that file is for.)

Second, some of the lectures were already part of the coverage powerpoint, which is obvious if you’re listening during the discussions (Clue: it’s the same PPT that was used and you were told that THIS powerpoint will be uploaded).

Third, some of the lectures were not uploaded online because all the details are on the book, and no extra info was added to it. This was indicated in the post.

Ever heard of intentional illiteracy?

For the lecture on Song of Roland, the exam will only cover details found on your book. That is why I won’t upload any lectures on Song of Roland. I would just copy the book. The same with Nibelungenlied and A Filipino Candidate in Hawaii. For the literature domain, you just have to be prepared with your insights regarding the stories.

Linguistic features and Logical Fallacies already included in the coverage file (4th yr)

3rd year students: I basically explained to you guys about our intensive grammar lessons that will transpire during the rest of what’s left of the 3rd Quarter. Aside from that, there are some section-specific reminders here:

• New Zealand: Your assignment on our composition class on irony plus an oral reading of your essay. Your PEW (Peer Editing Worksheets) is due on Tuesday. Please pass it along with your original essays and your revised essays.
• Australia: Obviously we won’t meet on Monday. PEW’s will be passed on Tuesday. This will be your last chance to pass your assignments. Again, please attach your original essays and your revised essays.

On Tuesday we’ll start our discussion on grammar basics. I hate doing remedial lessons but seeing that this will all benefit you especially next year, I tried to pursue this project.

4th year students: Since there was a misunderstanding on schedule last Thursday, I wasn’t able to meet Antarctica. Anyway:

• Antarctica: We’ll discuss linguistic features on Monday.
• Europe: Oral reading of your essays.

May I remind you guys that when I’m not around, that would be your chance to catch up with your theses. Some of you, as I’ve observed, were doing their assignments during my time. I do understand your situation but please do remember that you’re doing it during my period, when you’re supposed to be doing tasks that I expect all of you to do (and home works are supposed to be done in your homes).

Chapter 2 of your theses is due on December 18, 2009. On Monday I’ll give those groups whom I haven’t given research articles things that I’ve research in UP. A little help for your chapter 2.

All students: I’ll uploading our lectures from our previous meetings. Your 3rd Quarterly Exam according to the Academic Calendar is scheduled on January 14-16, 2010. Oh, and don’t forget to attend the Battle of the Bands event. Please do look up http://www.sjbschoolofrock.co.cc for more details.

While browsing the internet, I came across this site that freely gives scales for researchers. The scales measure the following variables:

• Attitude towards women
• Authoritarianism/Rebellion
• Hassle
• Body Esteem
• Body Awareness
• Dieting Beliefs
• Loneliness
• Gender role identity
• Self-esteem
• Perceived Social Support
• Procrastination
• Satisfaction with Life
• Driving Anger
• Trust (in a relationship)
• Cognitive Failure
• Computer Anxiety

Also, this site freely distributes scales that measure personality, music preference, and personal space. I haven’t checked all of these scales but they might help you in finalizing your topics.

3rd year students: I was impressed with Australia’s performance in their preparation for the discussion of the reading selection. Kudos to all of you guys and please continue doing so.
