Thanks to our University Information System (aka “CRS”), I was able to submit online your final grades even if I am currently in South Korea. Feel free to log in to CRS now to look at your grades.

J 122 TUV and J 122 TWX students: In case you haven’t done so, kindly get your graded papers from the department.

Media 120 WZZ students: Your graded final papers are still with me as of this writing. I can only send them via postal mail on April 8 (Wednesday) as I have a speaking engagement in Jakarta early next week. Since it takes about two days to reach the Philippines (this is the second time I sent postal mail to UP), please contact the department starting April 10 as to when you can pick up your papers.

For the readers of this blog, I hope you will take some time to visit the websites of my students in J 117 and J 122. They put a lot of work in their project and most of them live up to the high standards of online publication design and layout, not to mention online content. These websites were hand coded, which means that they used only a text editor in writing the HTML codes.

If you’re my student in Hannam University, I will post a separate message when I arrive in Korea tomorrow (March 5). Thank you.

Para sa mga estudyante ng J 122 TUV at TWX (Publication Design and Layout), puwede n’yo nang kunin ang mga papel na isinumite ninyo, kasama na ang mga ibinigay ngayon lang (Marso 4). Kung sakaling may kulang pa kayong proyekto, ipadala n’yo na lang sa email at huwag kalimutang gumamit ng PDF na format. Huwag n’yong kalimutan ang deadline ng inyong web advertisement at website.

Kung estudyante naman kita sa J 117 WUV (Online Journalism), siguraduhin n’yong maayos ang inyong website na magsisilbing pinal na eksaminasyon. Hindi ko na kailangan pang ulitin ang mangyayari kapag may nakitang dead link sa inyong website.

Sa mga gradwadong estudyante naman ng Media 230 WZZ (Media Ethics), pagbutihin ninyo ang inyong pananaliksik dahil may malaking bahagdan ito ng inyong pinal na grado. Gaya ng nabanggit ko sa klase, posibleng irekomenda ko ang publikasyon ng mahuhusay na papel sa Philippine Journalism Review, bagama’t susunod pa rin ito sa proseso ng double-blind review.

Gusto ko namang kunin ang pagkakataong ito para batiin ang mga estudyante ng J 200-1 (Thesis) sa maaga nilang pagpasa ng pinal na bersyon ng kanilang tesis nang hindi isinasakripisyo ang kalidad ng pananaliksik.

Kung kailangan n’yo akong kontakin, kailangan n’yong malamang hindi ko dadalhin ang aking cellphone sa Korea, kaya sa email na lang kayo makipag-ugnayan.

Yun na lang muna at maraming salamat sa inyong atensiyon.

If you’ve attended our class last week, you already know the “juicy details,” particularly  where, why and with whom I’m going. You are now free to tell your classmates who were absent, as well as others who are interested to know.

As far as our class is concerned, this simply means that you have to religiously attend the remaining meetings in February. You already know the papers, projects and other requirements and their respective deadlines, so please submit them on time.

If you’re my thesis advisee (undergraduate or graduate level), please see me in the next few days so that we can evaluate the status of your thesis and make adjustments (if any) to your proposal or actual defense (for graduate students).

With regard to our schedule in March, we have no choice but to conduct our consultations via email or YM (unless of course you can afford the plane fare to visit me personally).

In any case, kindly visit this blog every now and then for other announcements, particularly those specific to your class.

Thank you for your attention and wish me luck!
