Have you ever thought about how useful this might be at an interview?

Interviewer: Have you ever written a scientific report? Your answer: In year 3 semester 6 we were asked to write a short report on work culture in a country of our choice.

with an ELP Interviewer: Are you able to show a foreign customer around our factory? Your answer: In year 4 semester 7 I took a module in English called: 'Going to the UK' and one of the assignments we had was to show a new student around the school. We had to film each other and here it is in my ELP.

With an ELP you don't just blah blah blah, you can show proof of what you can do!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND ONE

Yesterday someone asked me if I got something from the ads on this wikispace. The answer is NO! This wikispace is free, however, to be free I have to accept the ads. If I paid $5 I could turn them off but quite frankly 1) I find them inobtrusive adn 2) I just can't afford turning them off.

ECE students in Simon's group: There is a mistake in your timetable concerning class Wednesday, 19th. There is **no class tomorrow at 17h** as stated on the timetable.

Well, well, who would have thought that Barack Obama would become the President Elect of the USA?
 * Wednesday, 5th November 2008**

It is official OBAMA 349 McCAIN 162.

My original plan was to create a wikispace for each of the classes I see during the week. I did this but soon found that it was too time consuming to update each and every space. Putting one video on a page is OK but the same one on each space, well quite frankly it sucked. So I have decided to rationalise things and put everything on this brand new space.
 * Friday, October 10 2008**

Just look for your class or the subject that interests you and click on the link. If you decided to become a member you too will be able to add pages and update the wikispace. You know, it might even be fun!
