The MIT Opencoursewave is a convenient way
to know the teaching methods abroad. I think this is a good way to let the
knowledge open to the public. But I am not very interest in the science and
engineering subjects. So I choose a cross-disciplinary topic about environment course.
The environment is very important issue today. They are talk about Economic
& Environmental Issues in Materials Selection. They use life cycle assessment
method to analysis the problem. I think this lecture is too difficult to
understand. But it let me see the students abroad is very courage to express
their own ideas.

The Impression of Job's speech
About Jobs' speech.I think he is a very assertive person.
According his first srory. After he drop out from college.
"But looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made" he said
I can see his strong ambition about this point.
No matter what decition he made.At least,he knows what he is doing.
And this decision can let him have more meaningful life.
This concept of life is impression.

the cover from something, especially as part of a formal ceremony.
Separate
