Closing

Dear all,
Let me have a few words to end this online session of our course. I'm so proud that everyone join this session eagerly and have sent their ideas to questions raised. Although I know that some of you may have just copied expression or explanation from available references, which I think it's not wise and fair enough and, let alone, not a good way to an answer to a question, I still appreciate that you have already participated in this new way of learning process. I, perhaps, have not insisted that matter very clearly since the outset that next time I should have. Again, this is the first time and from which you and I can learn and reflect. Finally, I should end this course by this means as the course time ends this week too. I'm so sorry that I missed one week, my busy week, without saying anything, and may not provide enough feedback for your postings. Hopefully, we can improve similar sessions in the next future.
Nurnia,
Course Instructor of Language Testing I
