For each article we view, I’d like to firstly have you identify the purpose and register before I go over my commentary.
My notes will include: inaccuracies as far as word selection, expressions, passive voice, ambiguity or abstractness and the like.
Lastly, during the commentary process, I will occasionally ask for us to take a moment to revise or edit, especially in terms of passive voice.

Odds & Ends
I’m still working on your “How to Write Clearly” exercises.
Please make sure your English name, class number (Translation 1, 2, 3, or interpreting), and student number are visible (and legible) on all your submitted assignments.
When contacting me via email or the website’s contact form, please follow the previous point as closely as possible.
Monitors: I still need some of your personal emails and phone numbers in order to be able to reach you just in case.
If you are a part-time student, please make sure you come see me to ensure you are on my class rosters.
