Good Grief
Our latest mission is to jazz up the names of our courses. Intermediate Reading is just too boring. (Not to mention that intermediate means between two different levels and we don't have a beginning or advanced reading - that's escaped people's notice.)
I'm playing with Sex (and reading) in the City.
Any other ideas?
My observation that "reading" doesn't bore people who enjoy it was dismissed.
Today a student shed light on this move. She went to a seminar on study skills. The instructor mentioned that when it was called Better Study Techniques, few people came to this free event.
When they changed the name to (the misleading) How to Get an A+, the sessions were packed. Given that there's a strict grading curve and it's impossible for everyone to get an A+, I see a problem. I may be alone.

I only approve comments that I can read so they must be in English, French, Latin or Japanese. Sorry I don't speak every language in the world. I won't approve commercial comments.
