Not only a laborious reading task. But, after giving the comments, here comes another painstaking job, that is, answering questions from the supervisee. Nonetheless, I love my job, Alhamdullilah!!!
Reading Marathon
For 3 days I was reading my students’ proposals and thesis drafts non stop. The task was really laborious and made me feel so exhausted. Since there were different topics and areas, I had to shift my mind from one to another drastically.
- factors for international students to study in higher institutions in China
- multimodal analysis of violence in cartoons
- ideologies of an organisation portrayed on Facebook wall
- representation of bank images by means of visual and textual elements on bank websites
- Intercultural Communication Competence among students of English Language Studies
