Dear Students,
Vote for the best presentation delivered this semester. Justify your choice.
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...

It really made my day when I watched this video and gave me a lot of fun.
Because many posts were very interesting for me. About A.I. , About holidays and etc. :D
Thank you, authors, for the interesting posts :)
The one about dragon Piff :)
Because it's funny and short. I don't want to read long articles or watch videos that last for 30 minutes or so. I just don't have time for it. Even if the topic is interesting. It stills the homework for me.
I also wanted to thank all of you guys who posted videos from Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell in their presentations. I found this channel thanks to you and it's awesome. The animation is really cool.
And I also wanted to say that this course (via the Internet, the blog) is great. Not only does it save our time, but it also helps us to write in English. At the beginning of the course, I couldn't write a lot in English, I used the dictionary a lot. But now I almost don't need it. And I feel bravery when commenting on YouTube, for example. So, thank you.
I really liked when students moderated their presentations and we could exchange ideas and get to know each other.
I cast my vote for Marcin Macieszczuk and his "Why is modern art so bad?", because he has done an excellent thing by introducing a subject in a storytelling way. The presentation has generated a lot of interesting comments and Marcin has moderated them asking thought provoking questions.
To conclude, I want to say that this course was interesting experience for me and it gave me a good practice in using English in writing and creating articles, and I am really grateful for such opportunity.
From the recent ones I'd vote for the Week 11 [15.01.2018 - 21.01.2018] Displays instead of physical buttons. The language was good, plus I think it's a problem worth of attention.
When it comes to TED talks, there were so many good ones, watching TED became a part of my daily schedule, but the best one I've seen so far was definitely this:
part 1 from 2007 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY
part 2 from 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX78iKhInsc
For me it was an interesting information and I liked the presentation itself. Thanks:)
For me it was the most interesting presentation. Probably because I love football.
Thank you Jakub for this article!
Week 6 [20-26.11.17] Optimistic Nihilism (once, again my fav chanel)
Week 10 [08.01-14.01.2018] Net neutrality (as the topic was interesting/important to me)
Week 4 [6.11-12.11] Stop and stare (as it reminded me to stop and stare and I needed that)
The reason for this is because it opened my eyes for a matter I have never thought about. Also, this presentation was very well written and easy to follow - I always appreciate good writing. The pictures used by Magdalena were appetizing and questioned my love for meaty meals, which is quite a big achievement :)
