Konwersatorium internetowe polega na przygotowaniu:
1. raz w semestrze 2 prezentacji.
Prezentacja składa się z tekstu, filmów, zdjęć (pamiętamy o prawach autorskich). Moderujemy ją (obowiązkowo) 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 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 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust. The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog. What is smog? Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds...
