About the last Friday class By Masakazu Kimura

When I heard we are going to have Stan’s class in peace museum, I thought something bad will happen like Prof Stan will scold us again. However, when Prof. Stan showed up in that room, he was actually smiling. My tension suddenly came loose. Class started and Stan asked us “What is Academic wring and do we really have to follow certain format to write essay?” Before that lecture, my image of academic writing was hold with only certain format, the common format MLA and APA. However, Stan showed and read some books with totally different formats than MLA and APA. My image was changed. “We don’t have to follow certain formats like MLA and APA when we write academic paper”, this is what I learned in last Friday class.
