An influential figure, A.M. Celal Şengör

     In this paragraph, I will introduce Celal Şengör, a scholar who inspires me particularly with his toughts in the field of education and impresses me wih his cultural intelligence, afterwards, I will mention one of his books.

     Firstly, who is Celal Şengör?

A.M. Celal Şengör, as showed above, is an eminent Turkish professor of geology and a natural historian who currently teachs at Istanbul Tehnical University, department of Geological Engineering. He is widely known for his valuable contributions to science of geology. He is a member of American Academy of Sciences, European Academy of Sciences and Russian Academy of Sciences.
     Secondly, As I believe that one can travel across the world thanks to his thoughts written down without moving even an inch, I ordered a book of him and I, metaphorically, invited him to my study room. I know for sure that He has a lot to teach me, so I will try to be a good student while reading the book. 

This is the book mentioned which contains his articles He has written on various magazines and newspapers so far and his talks he has given in different platforms. In this book, he shares his considerable knowledge of education, history, archeology, geography, literature, society and culture, and of course science takes the top priority over other fields in terms of order. He warmly invites people to enlightenment under knowledge and warns them against ignorance.

Some objective thoughts on midterms

    

      Now, I know for sure that self-assessment, a term for self-judment about one's own progress and achievements, is crucial for success and to accelerate one's progress. Therefore, I will examine how well I did in midterms. The first exam was in Educational Psycology. I studied hard for this exam but, truth to tell, I did not study one part in the book on purpose, I just did not feel like studying it as it was about biology. Unfortunately, I was shocked when I saw that lecturer asked a lot of questions about biology. It was easy to extrapolate that I would inextricably get a lower grade compared to other exams. But, I do not feel guilty about it, anyway. We took second exam in Advanced Writing and Reading. Surprisingly, contrary to the casual style of the exam, there was no writing part, so we did not have to write anything, which made me pleasantly relaxed. I found reading part fairly tolerable, and I hope for my grade to be high. With regard to Lexical Competence exam, the third one, I passed it with flying colors. The plausible reason for this would be that I like expanding my vocabulary, correspendingly, I intensively study for it. The last exam was in Contextual Grammar. On the whole, I think I did well except for one question that I could not recall the answer no matter how desperately I tried to remember. Better luck next time. Now I'm looking forward my grades to being declared.
