Post Class Reflection (July 15)

A wise man learns to adapt with time. In our case we as an institution made a move. As required by the circumstances, our ENGT 102 class started on virtual platform; Google meet. Our mentor started class full of enthusiasm and spirit. I experienced quite a productive lecture which honestly I was not expecting considering it was being held on computer screen.

 

Class started at 1 o'clock in which we discussed innovation and ideas. Our mentor discussed ideas about a inspiring Bollywood movie named Pad-Man. the movie portrayed biography of an Indian innovator named Arunachalam Muruganantham. He is a revolutionary as per my perspective as he changed his society and its views on woman health. He was also awarded with highest civilian medal in India: Padma Shree. We discussed similar innovative people in Nepal who are on mission to make our own nation a better place and name of Mahabir Pun mostly came to play. Later in the class, two of my friends: Nirbhay Adhikari and Aayam Adhikari made a presentation on Toulmin's Model of writing and its importance for good communication. It was a nice presentation which further made my perspective on the model clear. Some of my friends asked questions about rebuttal and its main agenda to which our teacher clarified his questions in a vigorous way.

 

Our mentor then praised the presenters for their good work. He also talked about the importance of Toulmin's model in real life arguments which we can presented our ideas, claim it and back it with powerful ground evidences. The class ended with our mentor telling us to maintain weekly blogs and posts.

Limits of humanity

  We might as well argue that our limit lies beyond the stars or perhaps there is no limit to which our civilization can prosper, where our descendants will dominate the outreach of cosmos. But as we know even the infinity is restricted by limit. The very idea of infinity lies on our capacity to unable to imagine something so vast, so beyond our prospect of imagination, something that does not exist in our realm of thoughts. So in this extensive process where we are heading towards the undisputed path of oblivion and nothing in the universe last forever where does our limits last? Is there a border we will never be able to reach? Are there places we may never discover despite every effort we put? The answer might be pretty disappointing. Sharing a deep affinity with the ever expanding universe, it seems that our limit lies in the very limit of universe itself. Our solar system is located in a remote corner of a 100,000 light year radius sized spiral galaxy. Even the trip to the nea...

Post class reflection (August 14)

  It was a lovely morning and the class begun at 9 o'clock sharp. Today's class was different from any other as we were presenting "The Stub Book". I was a little nervous to be frank and was discussing all sort of questions and process with my friend Aditya. As the class started Mr. Duwadi sir talked about online poll system and buzz words but the first link he sent was not accessible. But the next one worked which evaluated the answer students submitted. Next was the time for presentation part which was rushed as time was limited because we only have one hour class on Friday. Ashish and Anurag presented on " Adaptive Failure: Easter’s End." It was a beautiful presentation full of details, data and charts. They clarified the idea about the sustainable development and the consequences of not using the natural resources wisely. It talked about how unplanned activities may lead to destruction of the whole civilization. The poem that was presented at the end o...

Post class reflection (August 5)

  It was a cloudy Wednesday and our ENGT class started at 1 pm.   Enjoying sweet breeze that passes by my window almost every day at noon I was discovering "diamante" style of poem which our instructor Mr. Duwadi sir introduced. To be frank I don’t have many ideas about format of poem in English literature but discovering new things is my favorite part of this class. Here is my own version of diamante poem:   Ancient Primordial Foregone Hunting Surviving Fighting Civilization Culture Economy Science Inventing Empowering Composing Medicine Comfort Space Modern Following the diamante format, presentation part took over. The first group was Chandan Mahato's and Siris Mainali's group in which they discussed about memo-writing. Memo writing was something we well discussed in previous semester so it was easy to understand what my friends were presenting. Their presentation topic was followed by "The four tusk elephant" which was presented by Nisc...
