You are amazing.Your surprise on Saturday was too much for me to understand. I had nothing to say, and I still don't. I just hope that I can express to you all how much you mean to me. It is easy to be a good teacher if one has good students. If you think that I am great, it is only because you are great. (I am me because of you.) You have a special place in my heart.
For this blog posting, there is no obligation. I will leave the blog open for the next two weeks while you prepare for and perform your panel discussions. Please sign in here and describe your experience of the panel discussion. What are your comments or difficulties? If there are cultural issues on your mind that you want to discuss further, please post your ideas here, and we can continue... I am happy to hear your thoughts.
Thank you again for an excellent semester. Aj. M

Hello…
ReplyDeleteAlthough this semester will be the last for you to teach in MFU, I would like to say that all students still want to look forward you in this blog. If you have some story to tell us, I want you to share your new experiences in this blog. (*_*)
This semester is the first time for me to be your student in CCC and Writing III. I can’t explain how I feel but I can say only “You are the best teacher”. You can help and suggest me every time when I face with some problem in the work and you never reject to help. I hope that I will see you again in GMS in the next semester but …….T_T. However, I will follow you in this blog. I promise that I never forget you, my teacher.
Aj Matthew,
I'm happy that you're my teacher;
I enjoy each lesson you teach.
As my role model you inspire me
To dream and to work and to reach.
With your kindness you get my attention;
Every day you are planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation
To know and to grow and succeed.
You help me fulfill my potential;
I'm thankful for all that you've done.
I admire you each day, and I just want to say,
As a teacher, you're number one!
(Joanna Fuchs)
This poem can explain my feeling. Thanks for teach me to know everything that I do not know & Thanks for everything that you give us.
I am preparing outline of my group and will present to you tomorrow……………

Hello Aj. Matthew,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about being the first one to give a comment but I couldn't. This girl is fast! Ha ha.
Well it's been a great semester really. 8 o'clock every cold day but still, we all went through it together.
Having you as a teacher is something very great. I don't no that when you are gone who's going to teach Cross Cultural Communication. I'm feeling bad for those who could take the class in this semester. It's damn hard to find someone who could really teach cultural things(I'm sorry for this but it's true). I used to hate to learn about cultural stuff because it's boring but you have given me a whole new idea.
Enough about that
Saturday movie (Gran Torino) was unbelievable.
I don't know what else to say if I have something new I will come back and write something more.
Nueng
One more thing,
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have to be the second all the time?
:-)
from above, Nueng, you are not the number one haha
ReplyDeleteI am kidding lol
From last Saturday, I could not come to see the movie in the beginning. So I will find it to see again someday. It is a great movie to understand about the culture.
I will come back if I have a question to ask you, Aj. Matthew
good night
Luck 176
Hi Aj.Matthew
ReplyDeleteFrom the last Saturday, the movie "Grand Torino" I have ever seen this movie at last semester. I think it is the good movie.
For that surprise, we made it for you only.
We never made it to the other teachers.
Finally, We are us because of you too (GTM=Great Teacher Matthew).

I have nothing to explain about my feelings, it is difficult to say ,though.

I'm really interested in culture and i have found that you can explain me or make me clear about CCC. (that's wonderful!!)
but now you're leaving, i have to think so hard about my plan haha
so good luck to you and see you in the panel discussion :)
PS, the GRAND TORINO is so great!!

ReplyDeleteFor the good movie "Gran Torino", this is a wonderful movie and also made me lots of bad cried.
I want to tell you that you are my idol. You said that "I'm me because of you" and I want to say like you as well..I 'm me because of a good teacher like you. You can teach me with more understanding. I like the way you teach and the way you do.
I'm very and very sad for the bad news that you will move to the new place. Anyway, everything must happen. You will be in my good memory forever.
And I hope that you will come back to visit MFLU.

Hi, Aj. Matthew
ReplyDeleteEh, I don’t know this post is last or not but this semester is the last for you to teach us at MFU(T^T). I don’t want to say good bye because it is not an adieu, but I hope you will be remembered us and good luck :). You say you are happy to hear our thought, I am happy that you are my teacher too.
About my experience of the panel discussion, I hope in the class CCC I will do it to be better as much as I can as same as the past from other subject.

Happy Valentine's Day Aj.M
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy So Much Naka
I'm extremely sorry that last week, I did not comment, because I knew you will move to NU. I feel so sad. I have never met teacher like you. "You are the best" When I do not understand something, you try to explain me(I know it's very difficult 555). You make me see other side of people, culture, and so on.
Thanks a lot for everything. You are still in my mind and memory. I will not say "Good Bye" I think we will meet one day. Good Luck! I hope many good things belong to you.
See you in Panel Discussion.
Good Night My handsome teacher ^^

Everybody needs to be needed
ReplyDeleteEverybody wants to be wanted
i finished my discussion today including cinema project too.
ReplyDeletei felt very happy to see all of my audience be happy with my film that means they understand CCC concepts also.
First time that u assigned us to do film and ccc course together, i thought i can't do it.
But finally, I can
from discussion today, it was great to share ideas with other groups.
i'm very happy to share ideas n' everything i want.
The topic about culture is infinity.
we can talk as much as we want. no way to stop it.
Thank you for creating this course to study both of ccc and ucc.
have a great time and keep smiling to your new workplace.
Hi!! Aj. Matthew
ReplyDeleteI already finished the discussion today. I enjoy with our topic in the discussion because it related directly with real life. Everyone criticize Globalization in the present. They always think that it impacts our culture but they still do it such as they still send their children into international school because they think that it is better more than public school. Although, globalization makes modern life, we should adapt it with our culture and change our life in a good way. Therefore, we cannot conclude that globalization good or bad because we blame it but still follow, so making a balance is a good way to perceive it.
“Don’t copy everything, just adapt it in the good way”
Good night na ka
Bye Bye
(T_T) The last class for us but still think of you na my lovely teacher …………………….(*_*)
Nothing to say, besides, Smile!

GOOD Evening Kah Aj. Matthew
ReplyDeleteFirst of all… I would like to say thank you for you and my friends who help me for our topic.
I really worry for my panel discussion when we cannot find the topic for the panel but now everything ok …it is so good.
I finished the panel discussion on Wednesday afternoon; I really enjoy showing the ideas with my friends. There are many ideas that are very important for the university students. My friends showed their good ideas and it is very interesting for me. I like this panel discussion. I got more knowledge for this time. Our topic is about the economic in GMS. It is one important that we should to know before graduated because it can help us to talk and share the ideas for other people.
I like your teaching style Aj. … I would like to be a good teacher like you in the future^^. When I studied in high school, I did not like the class that teacher showed the ideas and asked me what will happen next…. I know it helped us to think carefully and deeply. They tried to help me analyze and thoughtful about their topic but I do not like it. However, I like to share the idea in the panel discussion with my friend and you. Our topic is so fun.
Thank you for everything na kah Aj.M

Hello Aj.Matthew
ReplyDeletefor the panel discussion last Tuesday, i was very nervouse because im not a talkative person. i dont like to talk much. so when i hold the microphone and camera came to record me, i was forget everything that i want to discussed. the topic of my panel discuss was about the stereotype, my friends was talked very well that i was very worry about it but ive learned that stereotype can be adapt it. the films in each group was presented very well.
i heard that you will move to Naresuan Uiversity, hope you will happy there. im sure you can adapt with people there too. Phitsanulok is a good city but the weather is hotter than Chiangrai a lot. ive been there servaral times beacuse my father used to work there. finally, i could say that you are a very good teacher and your accent is very good easy to understand. im very glad to study with you, some of my friends are really want to study with you but they dont have a chance anymore because you will move already. and the one thing that im happy is that you can remember my name, you are the only one teacher that can remember it. anyway, i dont know i can see u again or not but i hopefully to see you again someday and i will keep talking to u if you dont mind.

Good day Ajarn M,
ReplyDeleteMy discussion has done last tuesday. Nothing surprise more than 'cultural hybridity'. I have to think futhure for this combination word and also try to understand all the thing you have said. I might curious why I always choose to work on minorities things. I want to share to you that is because I always feel like 'other'. It' hard to explain why but I have this idea since I was in kindergaten school. However, this course give me many answer of how to understand myself and other people.
Thank you agian for every thing. You have left me a very huge impressive of being the good teacher in GMS, CCC and writing 3.
Eventhogh, i don't like to write much but i do in this course.
Keep in touch,
Film
Hello Aj Matthew!!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have much to say for this blog. Except Thank you for being really great teacher. I've learned a lot from you and I am definitely understand more about cultures and who I am and why I am :)
The panel discussion was good. We got to share ideas with each other. It was good to hear from your experience about you think the kids actually tell adults that the stereotype is bad and about how people are not really that scary to get to know them.
Take care and maybe I might see you during next week.
God bless you.
