This week, I have completed week 3 and part of week 4 of Introduction to Public Speaking on Coursera and hour 3 and part of hour 4 of The Ancient Greek Hero on EdX. In addition, I've been continue working as a World TA for Software as a Service on EdX.
In week 3 of Introduction to Public Speaking, we have wrapped up the units on impromptu speech, a short three-to-six minute speech, with a peer review assignment. In week 4, we are starting new units on informative speech, a five-to-ten minute speech to inform the audiences on certain topic, with an overview of basic techniques of delivering informative speech. Although deadlines for a couple of assignments have passed, it is not too late to register for this course as this is one of the courses where there will be no statement of achievement and the course materials will be available after the course has completed.
For hour 3 and hour 4 of The Ancient Greek Hero, we studied the concept of sorrows and lamentation in Greek song culture, and what part it plays in Iliad. I am actually quite behind on this one as hour 23 of 24 has been already released. However, the course will not be completed until Aug. 11 and course materials will be available after the course has been completed. Again, it is not too late for those who are interested.
As for Software as a Service, we have just completed the week 2 of this fantastic introductory course on Software engineering. In week 2, it covered the basics of Ruby programming language. For those interested in obtaining certificate from this course, only the deadline for diagnostic quiz has been passed and there are plenty of quizzes and assignments for you to pass the course.
