In addition to student presentations, we had discussed ways of searching, reading and understanding exercise science literature in English. One paper published on European Heart Journal (2003) had been used as an example. We had talked about how to read the introduction of the review paper and how the introduction should lead to the purpose of the paper.
We had also scheduled an extra class in Friday evening (7:00pm, Nov 28, 2008). We will meet with several experts in the field over dinner and research related topics will be discussed. Mr. Huang Sanbo has kindly take the lead and organize the session at the restaurant next to our campus.

November 19th class
I had trouble logging in to the blog last few days, so I am posting this message later than I should have.
The class decided that we will have this class as a pass/fail class. All master student who need credits from this class should have been registered with the graduate school. All the doctoral students who need credits from this class should provide the instructor the name and contact info (email and phone#) of your adviser. I will contact your adviser and submit your grade at the end of the semester.
We have also decided to add one class at the evening of Friday (November 28). The school of Kinesiology at SUS will host an international meeting on November 29 and 30. There will be experts in different research fields of exercise sciences gather here on campus. We will take advantage to the opportunity and invite a few of the experts come and talk to the class. The additional class is tentatively scheduled at 7:30pm Friday, location will be anounced. We will meet for this class at a dinner place, so it will be dinner and discussion.
We had about 12 people participated this class last Wednesday morning. The discussion were more in depth than the previous classes. At the end of the class, I have talked about internet literature search for a few minutes. I used two expaples to illustrated how to search and recongnize important literature in different filed.
There was a suggestion and I was asked to discuss sceitific journals published in our research fields in English. I will try prepare it and present that discussion next time.

November 12th class
We first discussed some organizational issues related to the class. Class participants were suggested to make sure they have registered for the class so they can get credit hours recorded on their transcripts. It was suggested that the class should be evaluated as a pass / fail class without specific grades.
The school of kinesiology will host a meeting on Nov 29th. Professor Weimo Zhu of University of Wisconsin will participate the meeting as a keynote presenter. It was suggested that I should contact Dr. Zhu and see if he could come to our class. There are some questions people would like to discuss with Professor Zhu. I have contacted Dr. Zhu and he has agreed on principle to meet with us. If we could find mutually convenient time, of course.
There were five presentations at different stage of the progress - idea, abstracts and selected literature review in this class. I have urged all the class participants to be active in the class. You can only learn if you are willing to do the work.
We will meet again next Wednesday, same place, same time.
