Summarising was the main theme of this semester for this class; although we started late, due to some technical problems, the class was able to catch up with the studies.
In the beginning we were asked to write two practice summaries about North African Bustards and Emirati police night patrols. Mr. Hedley (our instructor) taught us the techniques and the skills we had to use and learn in summarising; knowing the main idea is most important, then eliminating all the examples, figures and facts that hold low levels of importance to the purpose of the passage; summarising is simply about showing what the main message of the article is.
Later on we were asked to write two assessed summaries, one about desert milk and the other about desert survival.
Mr. Hedley ended our session by showing us how to use BibMe and explaining about the importance of accurate referencing when doing assignments.
It was a really interesting session we had; we learned a lot, it was interesting and very useful for future uses.
