Konwersatorium internetowe polega na przygotowaniu:
1. raz w semestrze 3 prezentacji.
Prezentacja składa się z tekstu, filmów, zdjęć (pamiętamy o prawach autorskich). Moderujemy ją (obowiązkowa część kursu!!) To robimy przez tydzień. Proszę o przesłanie prezentacji na mój email co najmniej 5 dni przed jej publikacją.

Uwaga! Proszę pamiętać, że ma być to temat interesujący dla grupy. Na koniec semestru będziemy głosować na najlepszą prezentację (osoba ta dostanie wyższą ocenę;)).

2. W pozostałe tygodnie zapoznajemy się z materiałami zaprezentowanymi przez kolegów i koleżanki lub przeze mnie (filmy, programy, prezentacje, interesujące artykuły) i komentujemy je oraz komentarze kolegów/koleżanek. Jeśli temat na przypisanym blogu nam nie odpowiada lub nie ma na nim prezentacji, wtedy pracujemy na innym (możliwość pracy we wszystkich grupach, które prowadzę).

Oceny za aktywność wystawiam w każdym tygodniu pracy, odrębna ocena jest za prezentacje, każda dodatkowa aktywność, np. link do interesującego artykułu, filmiku na YouTube jest mile widziana i punktowana.

Należy pracować systematycznie, lecz jeśli ktoś zapomni o pracy na blogu np. przez tydzień lub nie ma czasu, może być w dwójnasób aktywny w następnym tygodniu. Można uzyskać nawet 2 oceny za pracę tygodniową.

W każdym tygodniu pracy na blogu przypominam o deadlines:) Są one podane w List of Blog Moderators.

Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email.

James Veitch is a British comedian. In today’s Ted Talk James with characteristic for himself a sense of humor shows how he deals with spam emails and why responding to junk messages may be sometimes dangerous. Questions: What do you think about James’s way of dealing with spam? Why are junk messages legal, even though it sometimes may be a fraud? Dou you have a problem with spam? How do you deal with with it?

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night. Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Is Scientific Community Accepting of New Ideas?

We all want to believe that science is about pushing the boundaries of knowledge, breaking the status quo and persuading curious ideas, even if the majority of people find them unbelievable. But is it so? There are many cases of scientists who were disgraced and persecuted by the scientific community simply because their findings challenged the already existing beliefs. Humberto Maturana and Lynn Margulis Humberto Maturana is a prominent biologist who studied the examples of symbiosis between organisms: fungi that control the ants (there are farming ants that grow fungi for food) or the parasites that hijack the brains of snails. https://www.une.edu.au/__data/assets/image/0005/24791/leucochloridium-paradoxum.jpg Maturana wondered how is it possible that a symbiosis so complex as the one between a worm and a snail could ever take place? I t occurred it is actually a more general argument about the evolution. What comes first: the design or the applic...
