Since we'll be having our midterm exam next week, I thought I'd spend a few minutes talking with you about "English for Technical".
I Realize that none of you has ever taken a class with me before, so you really don't know what to expect on one of my exams.
First, let me remind you that i have include a very short description of the midterm on the syllabus that you received at the beginning of the semester. So you should read that. I should recommend that you organize and review your notes from all of your class sessions.
I'm not saying that the book is unimportant, but the notes should help you to identify those topics that we covered in greatest detail. Then, you can go back to your book and reread the sections that deal with those topics.
I also suggest that you take another look at the articles on reserve in the library. They have information in them that is not in the book, and although we didn't talk much about them in class, I do feel that they are important, so you can expect to see a few questions from the articles on the exam. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Besides the twenty-five objective questions, there will be ten essay questions, and you must choose five. Good Luck guys!
Thank you for your attention.
