Dear BJ,
How are you?
You can now pick up from your ILC mailbox, the ARP sample paper & evaluation form. This is new information that you can use to save you time and do better.
Best,

Your ARW Class Discussion
Dear BE & BJ,
We saw the first Class Discussion sessions today and they all contained strong points. Thank you again to Imon, Takaomi, Keiko, & Jun! The sessions today provide a great beginning for each of you to build on and develop further.

A couple of points:
- Visual aids: Think of your visuals as information you can talk about, not information (in words) to be read. If you find yourself reading your visuals, it almost certainly means that they are not visual enough. It is important to keep your visuals visual. (P.S. You can make notes (key words & phrases on the back of your visuals, but you should not write a script to be read.)
- Preparation: There is an excellent student sample on my door (ILC 265B). I thoroughly recommend you take even a little bit of time to look at it. Taking 5-10 minutes now could save you much more later. As well, I recommend that you start work on your session two lessons before. In other words, if your session is this Friday, I think you should start now.
- Your session: The Spring Schedule on the ARW Homepage contains all the details of what we have done or will do in class. If you do not know the date of your session or do not know the page numbers of your section, all the details are on the Schedule. You should not print this page though, because it changes almost every day. In ARW this term, you need to learn to check it regularly.
Owen.
