剛收到系方的通知, 校方已在安排期末考試, 因為只有兩個小時, 我準備了四條題目, 中英對照, 你們只需要回答當中的兩條.
答題目時慢慢寫, 不要緊張, 先構思好結構和闡清題目中的概念. 每條題目幾百到一千就可以.
因為專題報告和期末考試都會有外部查核（主要是同學的表現和我的評分標準）, 大家在交卷和交報告時, 請正式一點, 考卷要完整的段落, 可以有標題, 但不要列點. 專題研究盡量列印出來, 寫清楚名字, 學號, 院系等資料.
Cost of copyright confusion in education November 1, 2007

The Cost of Copyright Confusion for Media Literacy, based on scores of longform interviews with teachers, shows that the fundamental goals of media literacy education—to cultivate critical thinking and expression about media and its social role—are compromised by unnecessary copyright restrictions. As a result of poor guidance, counterproductive guidelines, and fear, teachers use less effective teaching techniques, teach and transmit erroneous copyright information, fail to share innovative instructional approaches, and do not take advantage of new digital platforms.
This is not only unfortunate but unnecessary, since copyright law permits a wide range of uses of copyrighted material without permission or payment. However, educators today have no consensus around what constitutes acceptable fair use practices. The report concludes with a call for educators to develop a consensus around their interpretation of their most valuable copyright tool: fair use.
