First of all congratulations on your presentations today - it was really interesting listening to and watching your presentations about speeches, I certainly learnt from you all and I'm sure you learnt from each other too.
On the language work page I have put the file from Monday with the transformation exercises we did on the active and passive, as well as the other texts we looked at for participants and processes.
You have two possibilities for your assignments for next week:
- post on your blog, (you could focus on how participants and processes are portrayed in a text on your topic if you want) and comment on another blog
- post a comment to my blog post about the Future of Political and Social Sciences and a post to another student blog.
- post on your blog, (you could focus on how participants and processes are portrayed in a text on your topic if you want) and comment on my blog post about the Future of Political and Social Sciences.

In my opinion I think that the political science faculty needs a deep renewing both concerning the relation with students and also the business world. In our society, political sciences are suffering a lack of reputation and prestige because it’s considered more productive to be an architect or a medic than a person who has studied the social and political environment around him. The difficulty for us to find a job close to our studies it’s a perfect example of this problem. Talking about our faculty, during my university experience I’ve found a loss of innovation concerning our curse topics: most of them were born in a static and bipolar world. In year 2012 we live in a very dynamic world, where important changes of our societies are not a matter of decades but years. It’s necessary to follow this trend and to be adaptive because you can no more live in an old conception of the world. New technologies allow us to improve the ways to teach and to learn our topics. Internet is the great absent of our lessons. We have to use it because it’s a good way for us to touch with first hand international relations.
