...Dear Mr. Georgiev, I am writing to complain about the learning plan of the major Linguistics with IT. We believe the lectures are not properly organized. We have lectures only three days a week. On the one hand, it is beneficial because we have two days off. On the other though, we study from 7:30 AM to 19:30 PM these three days and it is very exhausting. On our final exam in English we are supposed to make a dictation but, as a matter of fact, nobody told us how to do that. The lectures are not enough and our lecturers don’t have the time to teach us. Last semester the “Translation” subject was twice a week. This semester, however, it is once a week which is not nearly as enough as it should be. All in all, it is expected that we become translators. Furthermore, all the lectures in German are in one day. What happens is that at the end of the lecture we can no longer concentrate as we have studied so many things that we don’t have the strength to continue. What is more, there are times in which we have just about 15 min to get from the one building of the university to the other. It wouldn’t be a problem, if the lecturers were more conscientious. We strongly believe that this learning plan is overwhelming and inaccurate. We hope you would consider undertaking some actions about these issues. I look forward to hearing from you by return. Yours sincerely, Hristiana...

In the journal, you will write an account of the key learnings that you derived from the lectures. You will endeavour to make useful connections between what was discussed in the class and your present and past experiences in your work place. You should consider working and experimenting with one or two concepts from each lecture in an effort to improve your performance or the performance of your team or the wider organisation. Format: The entries should be written in a word document in font 12, double spaced. Each entry is a dialogue between yourself and Jolyon Allen, the course lecturer, who will mark the learning journal and provide feedback for you to consider when you write the next journal.
