Dear all,
Good morning & happy Saturday to all of you.
I just wanted to kindly remind you of the reading assignments for 24.03.2025 (Monday).
Please make sure that you read Gill(2012) & Nayak (2019). What is much more important is that you understand the content in greater depth, assess it critically, & interpret the underlying logic & draw your practical relevance. I would also like to recommend you to watch the videos I posted on moodle.
As it is clear to you, we are advancing significantly at the steady pace week by week.
I am very delighted to see many of you are now feeling more confident in expressing your views & opinions in public. Well-done ! From WEEK 6, I will be paying much greater attention to scrutinizing how constructive, logical & well-organized your opinions are.
Please be officially re-informed that I really value & highly appreciate professional & diligent individuals. In a sharp contrast, the opposite is not my interest at all.
Thank you for your continued hard work & excellent preparation always.
Buon fine settimana e grazie moltissimo !
Kind wishes,
Norifumi Kawai
p.s. As you already know, I tend to start my lectures or small warm-up exercises a little early, so please refrain from arriving at the very last minute. Each person has an established pattern of behavior, so the impression you give is considerably different if you arrive early versus arrive at the very last minute. This is just a aspect of human cognition by nature.
