Group 7

The weekend ended too soon, and in a blink Monday was upon us. We got up, went to breakfast, and it was once again time to go to class.

Our first class was the continuation of the blogging class from the week previous. After a week of daily blogging, the website was full to the brim with accounts of our adventures from every student, in every style imaginable. Before presentation though, we got a crash course on how to present our blogs – including a quick session on how to breathe properly with our diaphragm. Our instructor also introduced to us some online editing services (Google Photos) and gave us a lecture on how to weigh information across various media so as not to be fooled by any possible scams in the future. It was definitely something new that we had never learnt before, and our group enjoyed it quite a bit. 

After lunch, we had our long awaited legal studies class. A week before the lesson, we were given a pre-course handout. The handout told us about the procedures of a trial. Besides, we were given out a case to study before hand. We were given different trial roles and we needed to prepare ourselves before the lesson.

In the lesson, the teacher first gave us a brief description on the mock trial. After that, we were given about ten minutes to prepare ourselves. During the preparation period, we discussed about the examination questions for the witness of the opposite side (defense’s side).

The mock trial was spectacular and we all had a great time. However, it was a shame that our team, the defense’s side didn’t win the mock trial. After this mock trial, we learnt more about the processes in a trial. Moreover, we found out that teamwork is really important, as we ought to work together in order to find ideas to object the plaintiff’s ideas.

After the mock trial, we went back to our residence and had tie dye. Most of our group mates were the first time to do tie dye.  It was really fun and all of us loved it. Even though we made a big mess doing the tie dye, it was really a great experience.
