Blogs vs Orkut (Social Network Service

Hi All,

Of late i have a feeling that orkut or Social Network services will be a major challenge for blogging. Since 85% of blogging is personal blogging, and orkut is more interactive and allows more networking (or so i assume) Blogging, atleast personal blogging, is passe'. From my personal experience, i see that present first years are not as excited about blogging as th last years final year students were. Among my firt year fep stuents out of 73, 37 are orkuting. That is about 50% I also find that i am able to communicate and inteact with them faster and better than say with the last year final years, owing to orkut.

Please find some time to quickly respond to this. you may give me your immediate impressions thorugh email or post on my orkut site or blog.

Waiting for you exciting or otherwise replies.

Feedback, please!

Hi All,

I hope you are back at home/rooms relaxed. I wish to have your feedback on the exam. Do start posting your views on my blog http://anilpinto.blogspot.com or email me.

You may also give suggestions on how the exam could have been done differently. Please be aware that your views are very precious as they will have an impact on the ‘fate’ of your next year’s friends.

Also planning to change the name of the paper. The present title is too long. Any suggestions?

On the whole I was happy with your performance. But felt that all those lectures on platform roles didn’t seem to have had an impact. The don’ts were hardly adhered to. However, for me, they have given better insights as to how I can change the way I go about the classes for next year’s batch as well as the exams. (But, I must admit that some of you were awesome.)

A reminder. For the Applied Phonetics and Communication Skills written exam, in the last section you might be asked to transcribe the passage to IPA apart for marking stress and intonation and dividing the tone groups. You need not transcribe it. But do mark the stress, tone groups and intonation.

I wish you all the best for the Psychology practical exam as well as the written exams ahead.

Take care.

Anil
