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 4 [04.11-10.11.19] Dark matter

If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All celestial bodies in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4 billion times heavier than our sun) with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to conviction that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”. Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electroma...

Week 3 [23-29.10.17] Clones of NES around the world

I ’m sure everyone of you heard about Pegasus (Gra telewizyjna) console. I’m also pretty sure majority of you heard about NES and know very well that Pegasus is in fact NES clone (well, actually it’s Famicom but let’s not get into details) distributed by Hoop Cola guys. But do you actually know how many clones NES had in the past? Well, neither do I but I’ll try to present you some of the most popular clones around the world (excluding China no-names you can buy on Aliexpress even now). Short note for people born in previous age: NES is video game console released in 1983 in Japan and 2-3 years later in EU and US. By many it’s considered the best video console of all time. Pegasus Now, let’s get back to the topic. Of course, the first position in my list is Pegasus I mentioned before. Our precious Pegasus It hit the market in the early 90’s thanks to Dariusz Wojdyga and Marek Jutkiewicz, who are currently on list of 100 richest people of Poland. It was dist...
