    Dear All,

    I'm not sure why nobody came to your scheduled class May 17. It was the last lesson before the submission of your semester's assignment, so I was hoping to discuss your progress with it and help you with it. So now what you have to do is prepare it on your own and publish it in your blogs by the deadline. As you can see above it is May 24.

Sermester 2: Task 1 A Global Student

Dear All, Welcome to the second semester of the Academic Writing course! I hope you had a good semester break and are ready to continue mastering your writing skills. Today we're going to discuss what students' life around the world is like and then create a guide for the students from other parts of the world coming to study at our university. It'd be great if as part of this task you could interview a student from another department about what his/her life at the university is like and what kind of experiences s/he has had, both good and not quite. In the end I'm hoping that we'll be able to create this guide that your peers will be able to use to make their life easier.
