I have really enjoyed all the posts this month. They have especially been helpful these past three days for taking and sending notes to a missing class member. I can tell her exactly what she missed, and she can read the homework herself.
Well, so far I have found "The World Is Flat" to have to much corperate talk. I tried to sit down and read it but was probably a little destracted. I'll give it another run at it to night. Is there any advise out there to help me stay focused on such a bussiness like language.
Did you all see the reading schedule? Looks like we need to get into some kind grove for the up coming schedule Mr. P. has laid out. As far as your question Ben.
I'm not sure, if you find a reading secret, LET ME KNOW!!!
Well I think Mr. Friedman is definitely a better writer than Ehrenreich. I was actually interested in what he was saying rather than being annoyed. The business language is hard to understand... I'm noot sure if this helps but basically skim over what you're reading and then try to go back and read it. I found it a little easier to understand what was going on by the end of the chapter.
