Thank you all for posting the results of the workshop.

Thank you all for being so enthusiastic - this is what makes life interesting - aiming higher all the time. Most of all we would be adding to our professionalism as teachers!

When you have time, we could all reflect on the three postings and put the ideas on the back boiler and let them simmer. I am really looking forward to the next workshop to see how your ideas blossom and bloom!

Dear All,

The Vice Chancellor has given one-hour for presentation on the implementation plans on Aug 19th from 10:30am to 11:30am in 306.

All senior faculty including the Advisor will be invited.

Do we need to rehearse the entire presentation for the 19th? If yes, when?

I can come to the English department at around 2:30pm on Monday Aug 17th. Is this time ok with you all? Pls let me know.
