I'd like to thank those who braved the snow today in order to meet. I appreciate your determination. I hope everybody I saw today arrived home safely. By the time I left, it was turning to rain near BCIT, but when I made my way to New Westminster, the roads were in very poor condition.
It seems that three students were unable to make it to their oral presentations. I will expect we can listen to them next Saturday as we'll be in the computer lab. I will schedule the presentations for AFTER the final exam.
Remember, your final exam takes only three hours. We will be doing review work and course evaluations in the morning. (I am sure you have already checked the files area and have seen the daily schedules, right?)
It probably doesn't make a lot of sense to review for the final exams by re-reading the entire modules. There are important pages in most of the modules that did include the 'special sentence structures' though. You might find it useful to review those. Also, you should review your returned assignments. Did you fill in the error-correction sheet which held all errors for Assignments 1 to 5?
I want you to remember to write clearly and concisely on your final examination. Give examples and clarifications. Also don't forget to showcase the things we learned in the COMM 0004 course. Don't translate phrases from your language but keep your plans and sentence structures in English only. Lastly, finish very early, so you'll have time for useful review. If I need to grab the paper from you at the end of the time, you will not have had the chance to read through and locate your errors. I'd rather you find them and fix them, before I see your papers!
Good luck. Have a good week.
