    This is the second semester for research and report writing. You just graded the first draft of your paper for semester two. How do you feel about the grade you gave yourself? What areas should you improve for the second and third drafts?
    The grades are okay for the time being because that what I deserved. There are many ways for catching up. I feel that I got to give the articles more time to read and organizing.

    How do you feel about the quality of the paper you have just handed in?
    Honestly, it’s quite good but it’s haven’t been done in professional way.

    How do you feel about the quality of learning and understanding you have been developing about your technology of choice? It’s good quality and for sure it developed us especially in our major as it covered some topics.

    How does this help you link English to Engineering?
    The English is the base of our studies in many ways. By collecting several articles we get little wide knowledge about the engineering’s stuff.

    What do you still wonder, or want to find out about your research topic?
    Personally, I still wondering about how does the invisibility works it quite weird but nothing is possible in the science’s fields.

    This is the second semester for research and report writing. You just graded the first draft of your paper for semester two. How do you feel about the grade you gave yourself? What areas should you improve for the second and third drafts? Like usual the first draft has some mistakes I will try to add something and correct the wrongs.



    How do you feel about the quality of the paper you have just handed in? it ok and it helps us to get good organize .


    How do you feel about the quality of learning and understanding you have been developing about your technology of choice? Really we use the technology in many of our work and this is good point because in future the technology has improving to helps us .



    How does this help you link English to Engineering? In many jobs we there are many different people from many different countries. English is the main language that connect all language with other.


    What do you still wonder, or want to find out about your research topic? To have it in UAE.

  14. It is very interesting to read your feedback so far. Thanks for the thoughtful responses, and I think we see areas where we can improve.

    Remember that the due date was April 1, then April 2, and now the 5th. I think as a draft version they do need to get in as you promised by tomorrow at the latest.

    Thanks

    I did my best to on it .In addition I’m proudly that it’s in a good level, and I have to improve myself more in the writing to be in more high level.

    How do you feel about the quality of the paper you have just handed in?
    I feel that is a good paper.
    How do you feel about the quality of learning and understanding you have been developing about your technology of choice?
    Exultant quality also it developed us in our major because we got more deeply.

    How does this help you link English to Engineering?
    It made our English in our major better for example it improves many skills especially in reading, scanning for the important things and the writing .so really it’s a brilliant idea to link English to Engineering for supporting us in the studying and generally to be our nation and the world in a good life.

    I hope that we and the thinkers people of the safety can help aircraft world to be life without accident or when there are some felling down of the aircraft in any case there are some solution such as there are some balloon opening in the emergency case or the aircraft such as Emirates Boeing 777have the gliding system when the machine is not working.
    In addition, Insa Allah we can have big conference in the world for the aircraft to share good ideas between the government and big companies.
