It definitely is a lot of work but manageable, especially as a group]]> 2021-06-23 04:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621022405 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621405662 It was one of the best classes I have ever taken - Thank you very much!!]]> 2021-06-23 09:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621405662 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621465823 I really enjoyed this class even though I was a little frustrated in the beginning because I was not satisfied with my first opinion essay. You have made this a lot of fun, thank you!]]> 2021-06-23 10:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621465823 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621467496 I especially enjoyed the video feedback. I am an auditive learner, therefore I prefer things explained out loud to me rather  than having to read it all myself.

You will have a much easier time if it's all done when it's time to start studying for the vocabulary exam.

As a part of the LGBTQIA+  Community I really appreciated all the Ted Talks you gave regarding the subject, especially about pronouns. There should be more teachers like you.
Thank you!]]> 2021-06-23 10:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621472638 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621611609 i found the feedback quite helpful and i can tell that you/Paige also put a lot of work in giving us the most helpful feedback and i really appreciate this!

Also, don’t shy away from oral practices/tasks, it will be a good preparation for the oral exam, as uncomfortable it might seem, it’s not so bad after all. We’re all the same. :-)]]> 2021-06-23 14:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621771645 johnnygrassauer https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1621834283 the feedback you gave us was very helpful and precise. there were no appearing questions concerning your corrections, as they were explained very well.

Then nothing can go wrong on the exams. :-)
Prof. Baralija is one of the most dedicated, enthusiastic and well-organised instructors I had so far in my university experience. I am just thankful I got the opportunity to be taught by her.]]> 2021-06-24 20:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1624202016 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1624204324 Structuring essays is so much easier now! I've never been taught so extensively how to properly organise your arguments and then write an essay.]]> 2021-06-24 20:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1624204324 Write essays with clear structure and with good development of arguments. Also being able to share opinions in an understandable way with examples and helpful vocabulary https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629740387 2021-06-29 07:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629740387 Working in teams was a great way to interact socially in these crazy times and also it helped preparing for the oral exam as we communicated in the target language most of the time https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629743443 2021-06-29 07:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629743443 I was very thankful for the amount of feedback we got. It really shows that you care for your work, your students and that you put a lot of effort into you classes. Especially the detailed and long written feedback helped a lot in noticing mistakes or even bad habits that needed work. Try to keep this up next semester because that was, at least for me, a reason why I learned a lot in this class. Just now that your dedication to your work does not go unnoticed and I think every students appreciates your hard work. https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629745815 2021-06-29 07:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629745815 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629754065 I know you probably heard the following a million times in your life but believe me - it actually works.
If you work on everything on time and you take the vocabulary list seriously there is nothing you should be afraid of. If you participate in class and talk about the concepts and vocabulary in class you basically already had your oral exam. There's nothing more to it.
But remember: Do the vocabulary tasks on time, this will save you time and energy when you need it most - at the end of semester.]]> 2021-06-29 07:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629754065 https://padlet.com/paigebaralijaa/mf4ipsjbi4i1jfrq/wish/1629761695 Stay the way you are.
