Naming our podcast group
We went with the spider man theme again that we did for the dubbing session because of the lore it went through .
During group call we came up with some names related to spiderman and ended up with Peter parkers peppered podcast
the group chat was not professional enuf to add a screenshot tho.
Designing a cover for the podcast
We all made our own covers using the elements used for the name of the podcast jus to save enuf time , then sent it to the group to check which one would be more accurate .
this one was done by Minuthi ( sketch )
in here its spiderman yapping with a pickle designed on a green screen , and his design is a bit Indian theme as during the dubbing session we had to dub using an Indian accent , it was quite a journey . and on top its the color palette
cain
this one is just so cute
Thesandu
pinipas
so cain made the final illustration by combining all of us work
Minuthis set up, thesaurus baby spider mans, pinipas cobweb and cains graduation cap
so this is our final illustration for the podcast cover.
voice acting and more pt.2
we were tasked to voice act the above tongue twister using an Indian accent
it was pretty hard as we cant actually bring our the Indian accent as we are Sinhalese and our accent is taking over every time we speak.
so we thought of going along with the spiderman ATSV Indian theme but again it was sort of hard
our whole session was involved with our spider man plushie
Voice acting practicing and more
we did some few exercises with our team mates
first one was to act out a tongue twister line by each member
the given tongue twister was
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
the first line : minuthi ( me ), second line : Thesandu , third line : pinipa, last: cain
the theme was getting the hot tea
work done by Thesandu
the lore behind this is that we changed the whole tongue twister into Peter Parker coz cain bought a Spiderman plushie and the plushie was the main prop for our whole acting session.
so basically what we acted our was
Peter Parker picked a peck of pickled peppers, A peck of pickled peppers Peter Parker picked; If Peter Parker picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Parker picked?
behind the scenes
2024?
ROUGH PODCAST SCRIPT - Academic Industry
Drafting our script, we followed our lecturer Ms. Tharangi Jayasekara’s lesson on the suggested structure for a podcast script, which contains the following elements in that order:
Introduction: A brief explanation of the podcast’s premise, as well as an overview of the episode through headings and topic statements.
Body: The main content of the podcast as well as possible intermissions and sponsorships. This part ideally has a set structure that prevents the conversation from being derailed.
Conclusion: A brief summary of the episode, as well as thanking any guests and sponsors and bidding the audience goodbye.

Learning outcomes
Challenges we faced for this module
We lacked a lot of experience in doing this and didnt know what type of questions we should ask
And the interviewee not knowing how to answer
Time management
What we did to overcome the obstacles
Researched some questions to ask and looked into other podcasts
for private university research
Private universities are like schools that aren't run by the government. Instead, they're owned by different groups, like religious organizations or businesses. You have to pay to go to these schools, and the money helps pay for things like teachers' salaries and new buildings.
Private universities come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and focus on certain subjects, while others are big and offer lots of different programs.
One cool thing about private universities is that they get to make their own rules and decisions. They're not controlled by the government, so they can do things their own way.
Some famous private universities are Harvard, Stanford, and Yale in the US, and Oxford and Cambridge in the UK

Interview
A student from canada
The questions asked
What the education system based on.
Graduation is not solely dependent on the final exam, or the diploma its all the stuff you did throughout the year 70% is the course work 30% is the final exam diploma , if you mess up the diploma exam but still have great attendance and 70% of your coursework done , you are set to graduate
2. Some lack of facilities you find in ur university in comparison to your school
There's a limit for some classes , they don't take more people in if it exceeds the limit which feels weird as in school there's no such thing as a limit , you are always welcomed to join extra classes which interests you , and it's better if they dont add a limitation like that .
A student from a sl private university
3. How does the academic workload and expectations differ between high school and university?
Assignment marks are important as it added up to the final submissions which is needed for the degree but in hs assignment marks wont matter
4. What is the bond between the lecturers and the students be like in comparison to the bond between a teacher and the student in school
The lecturers really don't care about the reasonings why the student is absent or not performing well in classes meanwhile the teachers are actually invested
Plagiarism and referencing
2024.03.22
what is plagiarism ?
the Oxford dictionary defines plagiarism as “Presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement."
how to avoid plagiarism?
There are many reasons to avoid plagiarism. You have come to university to learn to know and speak your own mind, not merely to reproduce the opinions of others - at least not without attribution. At first it may seem very difficult to develop your own views, and you will probably find yourself paraphrasing the writings of others as you attempt to understand and assimilate their arguments. However it is important that you learn to develop your own voice. You are not necessarily expected to become an original thinker, but you are expected to be an independent one - by learning to assess critically the work of others, weigh up differing arguments and draw your own conclusions. Students who plagiarise undermine the ethos of academic scholarship while avoiding an essential part of the learning process.
major techniques we use in life to avoid plagiarism
using references, summarising , direct quotes with citations , paraphrasing
paraphrasing means reading an article and rewriting the article in your own words
summarising means taking out unnecessary words and taking in the main point of the story
direct quotes with citations means taking something exactly from somewhere and adding quotations to show its adapted from someone else's work
more examples on how plagiarism works and how to avoid them
direct quotes with citations
quotation must use the exact words of the source or ellipses (...) if we omit any.
If the quotation is relatively short (e.g., fewer than 3 lines or 40 words), those words must be enclosed in quotation marks.
According to Harari (2011), "Culture tends to argue that it forbids only that which is unnatural. But from a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behaviour, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist, so it would need no prohibition." Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Citations method
Depending on the referencing style being used there are three standard systems for citing sources
Author - data system ( Harvard )
Numeric system (Vancouver )
Notes and bibliography system ( MHRA)
different referencing styles
Harvard Referencing
APA Referencing
MLA Referencing
Vancouver Referencing
Chicago Referencing
IEEE Referencing
MHRA Referencing
OSCOLA Referening

2. In what ways do you expect university to be different from school/college and what challenges is it likely to offer?
- more creative freedom, less constricting rules
- The workspace is amazing for the students
3. Reflecting on your experience this week:

We had a presentation about the parley ocean clean up where we had to come up with our own idea to spread awareness about sea pollution which is the final project for portfolio.
We also learned about the 12 principles in animations and along with the fundamentals of film making
- Write down 1 thing you feel you'd like to have been better
The PCs provided for the MGA students arent enough . It would be better if they gave the students a stronger wifi too
