Dear mates!

The assignment of last week to summarize two articles about brain drain within a range of 200 words maximum was a new experience in some kind of way. Firstly, it seems difficult to create a concise brief statement that covers all important issues. Secondly, it was a new form of a summary as two articles had to be combined to one sophisticated, precise work. Finally, putting the articles in relation to each other and comparing them exposed as a quite interesting task.

Concerning the other assignment which was to work on the middle parts of the research paper, I feel relieved after getting the feedback from the professor. Now I can continue to compile a rough draft of my paper. I hope that I am on the right track from now on, instead of pursuing a too broad elaboration of the topic.
