  2. Hi Hui-hsing

    I'm assuming you're enjoying your break!

    Just a reminder that by next term you should have uploaded 5 posts to your blog and be well on your way to putting your research findings together in an organised way.

    Remember to read through the webCT content about images, videos and copyright issues to help you with your blogs. There is also some helpful information about organising your research material under the CUSRAD02A link on the homepage.

    Regards,
    Linda
