Reading&Writing Techniques

We started our day by listening to a lecture in english. The topic was "Nonviolence, from Gandhi to Martin Luther King". We had to take lecture notes and think about questions we would have asked the lecturer. We compared our notes to the others and got to know other types of taking lecture notes.
I think today's topic was interesting and helpful because all of us are going to attend a lecture and we should know how to manage our notes best.
The second part of the day dealt with how to write a dissertation and we got a lot of information material which will help us when we have to write our own dissertation.
