Today we received feedback from Mr. Arkin in regards to our Mosaic Project topics. Well, it was more approval and disapproval than feedback. According to Mr. Arkin, I had to provide clarification to my topic. At the end, I changed my topic to: The Evolution of Natural-Language Translators. This was in place of "Machine Translators." Apparently Machine Translators translate among programming and computing languages. This is quite strange, because according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_translation, Machine Translation is computer-aided translation.Well, it is not very crucial what the title of my article is as long as the information is valid.
We also had our introduction to our major culminating projects. I was initially in a group with Pearl and Zarin. Then, because Tasfia missed class that day, she spoke to me after school, and she is officially a member of our group. Since none of the group members had Skype, and only Pearl and I had MSN, there was a conflict in how we can discuss our plans. So, I thought of the idea of using Wikispaces. Pearl helped me create a private wikispace (it is a 30-day trial), and I updated the Wikispace with a schedule. The first task on the list is drafting the proposal for Mr. Arkin. Ownership was assigned, and our first draft was on the way!
I have a good feeling about the group culminating project! That is, after I complete my mosaic project...
