Week2 LEITPA

We have worked on feedback for the first bio creation. Both major and minor errors were found in the entire bio. For example, repeating the same pronouns, conjunction and words such as he/she, and. In order to make a good paragraph, basically we need to follow the 'rule of three'. Starting from a topic sentence, then writing supporting sentences in three sections which will be academic tasks, academic research or interest and personal information at last. After that, we will add three sentences in each section. Then, writing concluding sentences such as summary of key points and repeats of main points from topic sentences. As minor errors, we learned that supporting dyslexia people. In detail, text should be sans serif, no italic, no underlining, no caps and no single line spacing. Additionally, professional photos in bio require some points. For instance, the photo needs to show above shoulders, wear a professional dress and smile nicely. Also, the background should be plain or blur while the photo is high resolution and its size is minimum 700×1000.

     As for my reaction for today's class, I found it quite new learning, but also made me minor improvements in the area of digital skills. Especially dyslexia learning. It will definitely be important when I need to submit a typed paper or make a presentation for other people. Professor Rab is always energetic to improve our digital skills. Also, he requires us to work on faster and accurately which is essential training for our future. In the end, I felt that not many Japanese students will get this opportunity to improve computer skills during university class. Thus, I will work harder to gain fundamental skill perfectly.

Week5

      We worked on feedback about each infographic and brochure. Infographic is basically contains 70~80% of visual context and images and 30% of sentences. However, entire students did not contain visual information in infographic. Some people are all caps and narrow space lining. About my infographic, friends told me no fixing points although I felt that  I need to add more visual information. In terms of brochure, I could not finish in time so I will work and finish by next week. My fixing point was adding more sentences. Also, when I create brochure, all elements need to be the same font, colors, style because it looks more nice and better to attract people.      My reaction for today's class was that visual marketing has various ways to attract people. Before using Canva, I was quite not sure how companies create such a great visual advertisement. By using Canva, it makes me more confidence to work on visual communication through designing. Also, ...

      We checked each bio. All of us stepped mostly perfect result though I need to improve my photo. Because my shoulder did not include all and too much blur background. However, I saw my development comparing to the first bio. As second task, we worked on creating infographic using Canva. I used it before, however I need to pay attention what I learned from this class. I could not pay attention small detail such as all caps, color blind and dyslexia people supporting. These are improvement till next week.      Rab explained us how we need to pay attention to dyslexia and color blind people. When I create presentation or designing, I did not care about color blind support. Since today, I learned how to realize the color combination which will be helpful for my future as well.

Week11

 (1) We learned why professor in specialized in presentation skills doesn't teach deepen skills for students. In order to become a professor, in Japan they need something 2 reports, book or publication. That means they are not measured by how they are good at teaching, but how they experience and have knowledge to teach students. When it comes to meeting, Rab taught us 3 roles. First is a facilitator. Facilitator is a person who leads all participants, provide them equal opportunity to speak up, also interrupt noisy people in order to have enough idea. Second is a note taker. Since technology advanced, we can share a doc and write on it by anyone. However, note taker is important role because we can make sure what we discussed and reflect for that. Third is time keeper. Time keeper is a person who manage time properly. That means he or she need to know when they should review for their discussion, the number of idea and summary of the meeting. In the perspective of presen practice,...
