    2. Seminar: a class at a university or college when a small group of students and a teacher discuss or study a particular topic

    3. Tutorial: a period of teaching in a university that involves discussion between...

  • Ready to continue learning! let's go start 2 week

  • Very interesting the first week and I'm still learning continue and surprise Phonetic chart! no is easy

  • Thank you very much for sharing the video and the tutor who understands everything he explains. The importance of the correct pronunciation and sentence of words when speaking. Use the different dictionaries, record voice to practice and listen to the pronunciation.

  • The two words that are a bit difficult for me to pronounce well or correctly is Analyse because little confusion with Analysis and Autonomous

  • 1. Re’flection
    2. ‘Lecture
    3. Genre
    4. Inde’pendence
    5. Au’tonomous

    Hi Gareth, It's the first time I see primary stress and second syllabus! this is not easy. The third Independent statement (voice) is how I still pronounce it in my first languages! Catalan

  • 1. Reflection = /rɪˈflekʃən/
    2. Lecture = /ˈlektʃə/
    3. Genre = /ˈʒɒnrə/
    4. Independence = /ˌɪndɪˈpendəns/
    5. Autonomous = /ɔːˈtɒnəməs

  • I think that what is more difficult is the pronunciation of some words and the correct sentences. In addition to the different accents in English of some people and when speaking quickly or closed inward without vocalizing well. I still mispronounce some words and I confuse how to say it correctly ...

  • 1. Resilient: Is what gives people the psychological strength to cope with stress and hardship. The ability to adapt and grow following adversity

    2. Peers: A person of a similar age, position, abilities, qualifications, age, background, and social status.

    3. Community: In simple terms a community is a population rooted in one place where the daily life...

  • Think the word Independent is: Not depending on other people for help

  • Absolutely in agreement with the Definitions and Sentences the difference of the meaning in each dictionary. The importance of the word Independent in individual people and in the community of society throughout the all world.

    ‘Self-sufficient -learning is essential in order to succeed at university in the UK and to progress in your future career.’

  • Independent Learning: Independent learning is self-directed learning, where an individual can choose what they want to learn, how deeply they wish to learn about something and the methods/processes involved in learning.

    I think that government-ruled learning' is the best or correct definition in its entire context, but in part it is in some words definition

  • The two dictionaries are different format and some elements are similar. The Monolingual dictionary is much more specific in details. You should read the introductory section carefully to find important information on keywords, labels, abbreviations, phonetic symbols for proper pronunciation, etc. It will take you longer to find the meaning, even if you use a...

  • I agree with Omar, the Learner Dictionary is more useful for study but you can use the Monolingual dictionary too. After watching the video and how much time wasted looking for which one is more useful to understand the difference between each dictionary

  • I think all are necessary for each use. To translate words, phrases or short and non-technical texts the Bilingual dictionary is easier and faster or Mono bilingual dictionary a lot the information in different words and multiple definitions, clear and simplified language. To study University I think it is better Learner dictionary and Subject-specific...

  • If I have never seen the word or do not remember it or complicate expression, I use translate, if I have read or heard it before, sometimes I compare it with other similar words and look in the dictionary for understand

  • Confident - Resilient - Understand subject in details - knowledge - organize and planning - hard work - coach - curious and not afraid to ask questions - participate in group game activities - communicate - opportunities for study and follow community - solvent problem.

    What words or phrases would you like to learn more about? Transferable skills Many...

  • Confident - Resilient - Understand subject of tiles - knowledge - organize and planning - hard work - coach - curious and not afraid to ask questions - answer - participate active in group game activities - communicate - opportunities for study and follow community - enjoy and funny

  • I had no problem understanding what I heard in the video. The three people have different accents in English and different ways of expressing student success but the same goal.

  • Confident - Resilient - Understand subject of tiles - knowledge - organize and planning - hard work - coach - curious and not afraid to ask questions - answer participate active in group and game activities - communicate - opportunities for study and follow community - enjoy and funny

  • Absolutely true and agree! Active listening, observe, writing notes of the most important, reading, predicting and thinking before the speaker or conference is going to say or expose. Planning, organizing, taking time to extract the right and necessary information.

  • I have never believed that there is a better or worse student. Labels are not ways to advance and progress in this 2022. There are many internal and external factors that directly or indirectly affect people every day, personal, professional, family, education, values, economics, goals, focus, perseverance, perseverance, abilities, motivation and interests,...

  • What is Success: Being Rich? money, houses, cars, hotels, position in society? famous and popular? Power and control? Being a Director in an important Multinational? Politician or King? There are people who stand out from a young age in studies, sports, work in relationships with friends and others little or nothing. Other people their goal and priority is...

  • My country is Catalonia is the third most visited city in Europe by tourists in Europe after London and Paris and I think it is ranked 15th in the world! It is small but very beautiful, rich and great in Culture, History, languages, customs, Gastronomy, sun, extensive beach and mountains! Places that I recommend visiting in Barcelona, Girona, Tarragona and...

  • Hello to the course tutors and all students! I'm Montserrat, from Barcelona, Catalonia. Multilingual person native Catalan / Spanish, French and English and understand basic Brazil/Portuguese. My Business Management and Administration studies at University Madrid and Post Degree Logistics and Distribution UOC University Barcelona, other Administration courses...

  • Thank you very much for all the videos, links, Excel and PDF documents that you have shared throughout the course with the students. Excellent share document report writing checklist! - The six weeks course has been very interesting, constructive, some parts a bit complicated (technical language) remembering equations, mathematics, arithmetic and others!...

  • The basic thing is that the engineers have fundamental knowledge in science (mathematics, physics and chemistry), use of computers, administration and project management, general engineering and the particularities of each specialty. "They must be able to program algorithmically, to develop solutions, not only modify what commercial software offers them, but...

  • Absolute! everything mentioned is important, the language and the way of expressing in each section, throughout the technical document.

    Constantly remember "Save your work" when creating any simpler document, you need to check "check" it is much more with a technical report because you spend more time! Sometimes, you can go from losing more than 40 pages...

  • After the course I have not developed it, before I already had it! As I have commented in previous weeks of the course, I have learned new concepts to better understand some parts of technical writing of the Engineers, but my work methodology does not change, it improves always!

    When you have many years of experience in different areas of Office and...

  • Wow! The ".. technical.." report is wrong!!! Only the first impression with the presentation hurts the view and when reading it, I conclude that it requires a change in all its content and continent that is, creating a new document. You waste time correcting error, modifying or changing, it is better to do it right from the beginning. Remember it is very...

  • The global format is important first because it expresses the way of working of the professional who has written it, the technical report. Second, because a good presentation is the impact the reader receives and, as in the Abstract section, it is the motivation and interest to immerse yourself in reading it ("like books"). The format on the outside and...

  • Good information standard sections into subsections add page and structure.

    A question or doubt,
    The links, blogs, website, Wikimedia or other additional information where we have looked for some data that we need for some section of our technical report, to complement or to extend bibliography for the reader.

    Where would be better, in the Reference or...

  • Excellent information from the University thank you very much for sharing it with the students, it is a good help.

    Everything is important but the "Contents" page that indicates each section with numbered subsections of the report structure is essential. Some people who write the report make a few "mistakes" that list it wrong and can create confusion. It...

  • Absolute! it is what I think and it is the example that I have described with the books. For me it is the most important part, it is the key that exposes in a concise and clear summary all the most important of the technical report.

  • The Abstract is a summary of the part we read in all books, usually at the beginning but sometimes at the back of the book. What we read is what makes us decide to buy and read it or decide for another book. With the technical report it is the same, it is a very important part for the reader because it will motivate he is him to read the report or maybe...

  • Good video for remind the writing technical report

  • Throughout the course I am learning how to improve some of the sections of the technical report and I am learning other new concepts in Engineering areas that I am interested in to better understand the written language.

  • We keep moving forward for week six and last! Thanks you for the video.

  • Thank you very much for all the information on this week five. The conclusions should not contain any new information, summarising things that have been covered in detail in the previous sections. Reason, you should not enter into extended discussion or explanation in the conclusion. A conclusion is not an abstract

  • What's good: The writer sets goals in the report. He was confident in evaluating the cause and possible errors in his data in the (4) paragraph. It is good and clear, as he summarized and explained the importance of his experiment, results, and the uncertainty in the analysis.

    What was bad: Active voice used ("we did it..") Informal language. Spelling /...

  • Everything mentioned is important,
    Use subheadings
    Write concisely
    Write impartial statements based on facts
    Use a combination of tenses (Pass, Present and Future)
    Use examples relevant to your field of work

    Remember to check all the sections writing the technical report not only at the end. Finally, check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors...

  • Thank you very much for the information in the video and the Example discussion based on the Charpy impact Test PDF

  • I have asked it in the previous section, will Discussion and Conclusion always be separate or can they go together but clearly differentiated so as not to create confusion for the reader? The same happens in Procedure and Results always separated but, everything will depend on the type of technical report, if it is shorter or longer and more complex.

  • All very interesting, always learning step by step, some easier for work and studies, others a little more complex to interpret but practicing and not forgetting to always check everything!

    The results are the part that leads us to the Discussion and Conclusion, will they always be separated as procedure and results or is there an option to include them...

  • Do you think tables are an effective way of displaying data? Yes, they are an effective way to display data as long as all the data entered is correct and 100% true if there is a minimum error everything can be interpreted differently, they create confusion, incidents, negative and non-positive conclusions.

    The content is the most important, the continent...

  • 1. Eliminate the background color, better in white or change for a single smooth background (not distracting the vision of the important data in the graph)
    2. Remove all horizontal and vertical white scratches (grid)
    3. The title with a figure number and in the wrong position (place at the bottom of the graph in the center)
    4. There are no labels in the...

  • Thank you very much for all the information in the video, Creating Graphs key points PDF and Color Bhewer. Everything is useful to better understand how to make and write the best technical report. Microsoft Word and Excel are essential to me, but it is much more so that we understand what we want to express to others. Excel is the best tool to control all...

  • All the information is important to enter the data in Excel and choose graphics to facilitate understanding visually and easy for the reader.

    • Bar chart • Pie chart • Scatter plot

    If you want to illustrate a: comparison between cases, use a bar chart
    Relationship between variables, use a scatter plot. Division of a total into different components,...

  • Discussion: Consider the experiment reported in Figure 2 (above). How would you present the flow measurements if you measured the pipe roughness and found it was different at different positions through the pipes? Relationship between variables, use a scatter plot. If the experiment was to explore relationships between pipe roughness and flow rate, then a...

  • I think so, that error analysis should be done before knowing the results, but I am an engineer.

  • Thank you very much for the two links with the all information and the downloaded Pdf. I am not an engineer but I like to learn and understand what I read in the reports is essential in Office and Production, all areas companies

    Reminds me of the Chemistry table at school!!

  • Raw raw data comes from the same experiment and should be the data that will be recorded first, described in Method. Processed data is most useful for researchers to discuss after the results of the experiment.

  • The ideal in a technical report is to separate all the sections, 1 to 5 or 1 to 10, all are important and should be well written to facilitate understanding for the reader, the audience. But, a much shorter, less complete and less "technical" report and it is not necessary to put into practice in Production, the two sections can be separated and they can be...

  • It is important all the sections of a technical report and part of it is the Results section because it communicates and informs of all the values that we have measured and readings readings that we have taken. The observations we have made during our experiment. In the previous sections of his report, Abstract, Instructions, Theory, Procedure where we inform...

  • Strongly agree with the three comments on the video. A poorly written report on procedures and instructions not only creates confusion, errors and incidents, the worst is the damage it can cause, risks when putting into practice the work process in workers. Everyone is involved and responsible, Health & Safety, Quality, Managers, Team Leader and supervisor all...

  • What went well? The experiment was easy to understand. What was wrong? The diagram was not numbered or labelled. It should have been indicated which column is filled with water, glycerol and 80/20 glycerol / water. The use of the passive voice of the past was not consistent. The past passive voice was not used consistently. The author included personal...

  • Follow all the steps of the procedure and check to supervise that everything is correct written technical.

  • Excellent information! Is important to always remember who the technical report is for, the Audience. To all Engineers, Managers and qualified people with technical experience to follow the instructions and procedures or other areas of Office and in Production, workers the factory or even external will be read by customers, Organizations, Government, Council,...

  • Yes, it is true. It is important to know when, how and why figures, graphics, photos, others... will be included to visually expand and / or complement the information for the person reading the technical report.

  • First, the aerodynamic shape, dimension and wind tunnel number were noted. Following this, the wind tunnel was checked to ensure that it was off and no air was passing through the working section. Following, the speed and drag of the readings were then set to zero, to enter a small value of "Fan Speed", the fan was subsequently turned on.

    After a steady...

  • Interesting how to use the passive voice as opposed to the active voice. Reminds me of verbal communication or non-verbal communication.

  • Excited! I hope soon another course of 2 weeks to register. Thank you very much to all the tutors, videos, Pdf, website, blog, links, all the information received by Bond University. We cannot travel with the Covid-19 but we can continue studying and being connected, beautiful Australia. For now, we have started and learned more about analyzing data and...

  • Thank you Thank you very much for sharing the video and Professor Vanstone refers to the content being topic 10. It is always interesting to expand information and continue learning.very much for sharing the video and Professor Vanstone refers to the content being topic 10. It is always interesting to expand information and continue learning.

  • Fully satisfied with the course, concepts that I already knew from work and other studies and had to refresh by adding everything new learned with the Excel videos. He always failed when he changed my first decision! but the quiz went well, thank you very much. We continue ...

  • Everything in life always has a risk or more than a transversal one, professionally and personally. It is the decision-making of each person at all times (studying all the data and calculations while still evaluating all its positive and negative consequences) that will define the capacity and ability to assess the least risk for the company. But, it is very...

  • Lease Machine, - The most important thing is to choose higher expected cash flows and less variance. Lower Risk!!! always

  • Excellent video and easier! How to calculate two similar scenarios with two projects, variance and standard deviation of cash flows.

  • Wow !!! I think I am not the only one if I mention what I am reading this week with other colleagues, that we are entering a more complex matter and perhaps a little more difficult to follow in some points. It is a matter of reviewing videos, practicing and understanding where we get lost. But, motivated to keep moving forward ...!

  • Totally true! Can we count how many customers enter a store a day? how many buy? how many are cared for? how many men and women? how many by age? how much do they spend on a specific product? how much do they pay in card or money? how many returns? But, how many will enter tomorrow? and in a week? And a month?

  • First little confusion "unions" It is what has happened to me when I have read it and seen the video, I understand

  • Simple events with multiple complex combinations of simple events. The probabilities ... Yes, start

  • Good questions and good video! Different scenarios Business..

  • Good! We go to the second week, always learning

  • My answer in the Quiz was D) which is correct K but too much information C) It is only the essential and most important

  • Important: - Information in the procedure section can be classified in one of two categories: information about the equipment and information about the experimental procedure. Well explained, Instructions and Procedure!

  • The procedure or "methods" is the most important part for me of the technical report.

    There are four aspects that should be included in the Procedure section and for the two reasons: 1. The methods section will help the reader to make sense of the results. 2. The reader may want to recreate your experiment, for example, to check your results for...

  • Discussion - How have you found this week of the course? Is there one key piece of advice that you will be taking away?

    I found it interesting, I knew some concepts and others, I have learned new ones. We are advancing in the technical report with our objectives to reach the end of the project.

    Tip, double check everything we have written to see if we...

  • Everything is important, goals and objectives! I think the difference is that you are applying the objectives and the goal is where you want to get or get to, the result of all your goals together, the end of the project. But, - "The important thing is not to reach the goal, it is like, with whom and why you did everything on the way .." then what is important...

  • Yes, important information. Theory+ Equations and nomenclature in project.

  • We are talking about Ethics, in the professional, personal, studies, sports, others ... for everything in life. Plagiarism, is it lying? It is another way of many others to use author data without naming the references and appendices where the information was searched and found to use them to your advantage.

    Why worry? Obviously, it directly harms the...

  • I think both ways are correct to cite references, the University Library has detailed referencing guides for using the Harvard and IEEE referencing styles

    Normally, when I have created documents for studies at the University and at work, I always put the references at the end of the document so that the interested person chooses their need to expand...

  • First look for all the information I need to know before I make the decision to buy the new smartphone. Where? on different phone websites, Wilkipedia, YouTube, Facebook, blogs, ask at work and friends or go directly to stores. Once I have all the information I will compare everything it offers me with my old phone and other similar models. For example:

    -...

  • It is fascinating to observe in the video the experiment we are doing is an impact Charpy test with different temperatures. Always learning!

  • Everything is important continent and content, from before writing the technical document, during and at the end. Good information!

  • All the content of the first week seems interesting to me, some parts I knew because I used them daily at work and studied, others I have updated or refreshed and the last ones a little more complex but exciting to learn, maybe they are the ones that I want to learn more about. to know how to apply them well.

    Now that the first week ends and we start the...

  • History shows that POWER and MONEY is the main reason for many human beings and the very destruction of everything.

    Applying ethics personally and professionally is an individual decision and should not be negotiable or buy with nothing. But there are internal and external factors that can affect the decision to manipulate the data and if it is not ethical,...

  • As economist Ronald Coase said: "If you torture the data enough, you will confess to anything." It is true, the control

    Ethics is a responsibility of each individual person who enters values and education. It should always be applied or it should never be stopped. Being ethical, honest, legal and other basic principles as a person cannot be separated as a...

  • There are simpler parts and others a little more complex. The important thing is always to practice, practice and continue learning.

  • There are simpler parts and others a little more complex. The important thing is always to practice, practice and continue learning.

  • Excellent video!

  • It is understood with only the visualization, thanks for the information

  • Statistics and percentages are never 100% true because there is a part to a lesser or greater extent of lack of information, another part of information is hidden (it does not matter if it is known) and another part is the variants and deviations of each situation in the that the study is carried out with all the data.

    Please, I would like to have a...

  • Wow !!! Now if we enter more complex matter. We enter the puzzle of variations and deviations, percentages and data which apply to all statistics. And how much truth is there in all the data published around the world?

    Questions,
    Could we apply the information and explanation of this video to the reality that we are living around the world with the...

  • Thanks you, Titus why?

  • Wow !!! Now if we have entered Mathematics, ecucations, roots ... it reminds me of school!

    In my Post Degree of Expert in Distribution Logistics, it consists of 4 Modules, in the last exam of 10 questions and each one a value of 2 points A, B, C, D, I could not get the A (Excellent) because I could not answer just a question of measuring range, variance c...

  • Excellent all the information in this video. How important it is to know why, how and what each thing is to be able to do everything step by step. Added as an additional note, the added value of understanding the tutor Adrian Gepp, you English is good without the need for transcription. Congratulations!

  • But a little more complicated, it is important to be consistent and accurate with all the information. Describe each part, no matter how big or how small it is, each data, figure, percentage, measurements, time, everything is important

  • It is essential to know how to use all the Excel tools because you have control of all the others. When you have all the data you can transfer it to Word, Access and Power Point to make a presentation. All are necessary and complementary but in my opinion, Excel is the essence. Thanks for the video!
