General updates

The deadline of the position paper assignment still stands- 30 March 2012. I would like to collect it from the UPM office the following week by Tuesday.

I'm glad that some of you have finished writing your position papers. I have to tell you that I'll not read your drafts, I'm sorry. I'll only read them thoroughly when I grade the hardcopy. Quite looking forward to that.

Please be informed that even if I had praised your position and points, it doesn't mean anything until you write out a good argumentative piece.

I have received :

Hema's blog address : http://hema39.blogspot.com

and Premitha's-  http://premitha26.sosblogs.com


Some of your emails go to my spambox, that's why I have not been receiving your emails. CC emails to dzeelfa@yahoo.com if don't respond. Hotmail will remain the main account.

One more thing to note, please state your position at the top of the page:

"Jerry's death signifies the birth of his pride and dignity"

The Zoo Story by Edward Albee

I still have not received anything from these people:

Norul Faraliza- blog and PP

Saria Limpot- blog and PP

Siva Sanghari- PP

If you know them, please tell them to do the necessary.

I'm not available online nor by texts starting this afternoon, so if you write to me, you'll not get any feedback. I'll only be back 31st March and by then the position papers should already reach the UPM office.

Thanks.

Deadlines (not dateline!)

Blog addresses - The week after the first face to face. Until now I'm still waiting for people to send me their URLs.

Position and points to be approved - 11 March 2012. I'm still waiting for a few more. I won't accept anymore outlines by Friday 16th March 2012. I'll be away from the internet starting Saturday the 17th right up to the 31st. So sorry can't entertain anymore outlines. You can go ahead with writing without my approval and do keep your fingers crossed that you are on the right track!

Position Paper - The hardcopy should reach the UPM office by the 30th of March 2012. Please don't make me travel unnecessarily to go pick up assignments more than once.


Online Tasks - To be decided

Research Paper - The hardcopy should reach the UPM office by 6th May 2012

Blogs- Stop writing by the 11th of May 2012

Note: I noticed that the dates have been pushed to a week later. We had our first F2F on the 11th of Feb but the calendar stated that it should be on the 5th of Feb.

I'll check for the right dates and update the deadlines. Does it make sense to push all the dates mentioned above to the following week?

Position update 4

So far only 14 people have written to me about their positions and the 3 points. I must say that some of your ideas are really impressive! Well done. Some of you needed to revise things but that's not a problem at all. The names of people who have discussed what they should with me are:

Chua Wei Thing

Yap Geok Peng

Kumaran

Karen Tan

Sia Nga Yea

Barisha Menon

Mogana

Nurida

Kwan Wei Kuen

Puteri Marina http://j38845puteri.blogspot.com

Gan Sia Fui

Yong Mei Shia

Zizie Ardina Lim

Thayamal


These people need to write to me quick:

Nur Hafiza (blog ok)

Premitha (no blog)

Norul Faraliza (no blog)

Saria (no blog)

Hema Latha (no blog)

Girija (blog ok)

If anything reported here is inaccurate, please email me at my hotmail to re-send quickly.

Don't send anything in attachment for this exercise. Since it's only an outline/draft, just write it on the email body.

Always put your subject heading appropriately according to what the content is.

Don't email me 100 times of the same thing just because I took a bit of time acknowledging receipt. Like you, I too have other things to do.

Those I have okay-ed can already finish up writing. There are still some who need to revise their work for approval.

All the best.
