Academic Writing, WS 2011 2012 1st blog entry...
susanne.hager.uni-linz, 16. Oktober 2011, 20:30
Hy everyone!
After searching for quite a time, I was now able to set up and start with my own blog!
It´s sunday evening, and I am re-thinking my thesis about my seminar paper in de Academic Wrtiting course.
I already started to look up for some literature, but i found out, that it is more difficult than I thought...
But nevertheless, I am now trying to find some other people, who are also attending this course, in order to fullfil my homework and to make some comments on their entries´.
I am also not quite sure, what I should now write in here...but in my opinion, a blog is an "online book", where you can write your thoughts, meanings and questions regarding the paper.
So, that should be enough for the first time.
I am now looking up for some more literature in the main library of the JKU (online)...
Greets, Susanne

Hey everybody!
This should be my second entry in the blog, but as I couldn't find my first entry anymore this will actually be my first entry! 
As my colleagues already said, it was really difficult to find the right blog. I hope that everybody has aldready found it.
I have already done some research for my academic paper but I hope I find a lot more. It is very difficult for me to find out, if the sources are suitable or not.
So, where do you mainly look for sources? In the internet or in the libraries?
Greets Katrin
dianah.aluoch.uni-linz, 26. Oktober 2011, 20:06
internet and the library are the best sources according to me but you can also check newspapers,journals and things like that.
dianah.aluoch.uni-linz, 26. Oktober 2011, 20:02
Finally i made my own blog!!!!
Finally I made it...

Hi everybody! So this is my first entry...I was really searching for quite a long time to find, still, where can I find Mr. Brewsters blog??? Has anybody a clue?
Concerning my paper I really tried to narrow it. When I talked with my seminar colleagues about it I realized that I asked too many questions which I could probably never answer in a 2500 words paper. So I tried to concentrate on only a few questions, those I’m really interested in and those who really need to be answered (which are sometimes not the same questions J ).
I have already started looking for good sources. Since I chose this topic based on my studies in other courses I think I have already find some good ones. Those are from scientific journals, management journals, books as well as from the internet (Epsco).
Wish you all a nice all saint's day! christine

here you can find my blog.
seems like quite some people are registered but...
anna.lindlgruber.uni-linz, 16. November 2011, 10:23
... I have no idea how to find you guys!
This blog thing starts walking on my nervs...
Additionally if we publish our entries they are visible even in google. I don't like that. Shouldn't it just be for exercise?
Unfortunately ...
bernadette.ecklmayr.uni-linz, 21. November 2011, 15:37
... everybody seems to have the same problem with the blog 
I do not guess that this should be the purpose of a blog to write several comments about where to find the blog of our course instructor. But I really looked several times through the whole site and was not able to find anything from him.
Here is the link to my personal blog: https://collabor.idv.edu/BernadetteE/ Maybe someone wants to read my personal progress in this course as this is posted on my personal one.
So guys, I have to finish the other tasks we have to fulfill till tomorrow concerning the paper and I guess that I this will last till the late evening ... :-/
See you tomorrow, Bernadette

Hey everybody!
I am also very happy about the fact, that we definetly do NOT have to come to university on 21 th january. 
Hope you all had nice holidays?! I have to do a lot for university....every year the same in january.....:( But I think I am not the only one who was to do a lot of work.
Now I am going to create my poster for the last two meetings. I hope that I will have some good ideas.
Ok then...have a nice week and good luck for all your exams!

Hey guys!
Hope you all feel fine! I have just come home from university. After our meeting today I have had an exam, human resource management. I think it was okay, of course I hope so
Actually I should be preparing a presentation for E-Learning on Friday but unfortunately the program "articulate" is not in the right mood for work ;)
I have to wait an hour for my technical help that can hopefully determine where the problem is!
Did you prepare a A4-poster for today´s lesson? I did but after our lesson today I have recognized that I have made a lot of mistakes! Now I am going to re-doe it.
I hope that my paper I handed in today is okay and I wish you a nice evening and a nice next week! See you by no later than next Tuesday!
Yours,
Maja

Hello everyone!
After I finished right now a seminar paper for another course, I will now put all my motivation and I will write the progress shee, where we should show our progress which we made during the Academic Writing Course. I will mainly focus on the points which were new to me according writing an english paper and I guess that I can easily write 1 to 2 pages about that.
I also would like to know how long the poster presentatin should be before I start preparing the second version of my poster.
Does anybody know?
BR, Susanne
marlene.holzinger.uni-linz, 16. Jänner 2012, 19:10
hey,
that's a nice idea to start writing the progress sheet with main points according writing an english paper....for sure we all can write 1 to 2 pages about that ;-)
do you know, do we have to bring the progress sheet until 17th of january or until our "interview" on 25th, 30th or 31st of january?
greetz, marlene
marlene.holzinger.uni-linz, 16. Jänner 2012, 19:07
hey everyone, @ susanne: I think you are not alone, for sure we are all happy that we don't have to come to university on 21st of january :-) I think we were all shocked lol
but it's not that easier because it's quite busy at january, like every year at university in january. I would say it would be better to make not ALL exams in january because then we could study harder for our exams...
what do you think about that?
greetz, marlene
katrin bianca.stadelbauer.uni-linz, 17. Jänner 2012, 11:35
Hey everybody!
Today we are going to have our exam. :/ I hope it will not be too difficult to find the main problem. Last week I could not really concentrate on the text, and so I think I will have to read the text again today.
I wish you all the best for the exam....hope we will all have enough time! So good luck! :)

Hi everybody,
I just came home from university now ... it was such a long day starting at 8:30 am and finishing at 5 o'clock p.m. And as there was the exam in Englisch today I am really a bit tired as it was hard to concentrate for 1.5 hours on textwriting. Unfortunatelly I did not remember all the facts of the case study so I had to read it again which was a bit too time consuming for me.
Now I try to rework my paper and my poster because I would not have that much time because of other exams. Do you know how the date of every presentor is organized? Will there a doodle-link be posted on moodle?
Good luck for the final work on your paper ;-)
Greets
Bernadette
katrin bianca.stadelbauer.uni-linz, 18. Jänner 2012, 22:23
Hey everybody! :)
For me it was also very hard to concentrate on the case study for 1.5 hours! I also had the same problem as bernadette: I also did not remember all the facts of the case study and do I had to read the text again.
I do not know how the date of every presentor is organized but it would be very interesting to know....maybe there will be another doodle-link on moodle? I do not know...
Now I am going to rewrite my poster and I am also looking for a good way to print out my poster in the right size. :)
I wish you good luck for your exams and also for your final works on your paper and your poster!
Greets Katrin
maarja.koll.uni-linz, 19. Jänner 2012, 21:26
Good evening everybody!
I must agree with you all, I found it also very difficult to concentrate on the case study. In addition, I am a little bit slower person and whenever I need to write something I need time. Obviously, 1.5 hours was too little for me and I felt constant pressure because of it. Luckily it counts only 10% from the final grade:)
I wanted to ask how many of you will let to print your poster in a copy shop?
I somehow missed our presentation date, which is very bad because If I need the poster on next Tuesday I should start to prepare it already. I personally have problem with the load of information on my poster. I should implement the word reduction method, however, I am afraid that I am not skilled enough for it :O
Do you know what should be the measurements of the poster? I do know how this paper looks like, but is it the size A1 or something else?
I also wanted to ask are you nearby 14 blog entries? I have no idea how should I find all my blog entries within this mess and I am also not sure how many entries I have so far-OOPS!
:D
I wish you all much luck for your exams and these two weeks we will survive!
Bye Bye,
I am off now!
Maarja
