What you have learnt this week? / Objectives for next week / The areas you need to work on prior to your master
This week, I have learnt many things about how to write a good academic essay. I have learnt about how to use quotation and paraphrase. I have also learnt how to write references correctly both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, I have studied how to prepare the presentation and the keys area to deliver it. For this weekend, I have to prepare for my presentation and exam that will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. I want to get a better grade than last month. For the areas I need to work on prior the master are practicing in the lecture and read about vocabulary and principle that relate to my master.
