After watching the three videos, I had a very differing opinions about all of them. The one that stuck out to me the most, and certainly not in a good way, was the Thinking Out Loud video. Obviously, the interpreter was not qualified to be doing that type of work. After watching the video, the first time with the sound on, I watched it again with the sound off to see if I could understand her signing. Unfortunately, I did not understand what she was saying. In terms of ethical considerations, or
Videoconferencing, basically this is the simultaneous real-time transmission of audio and video (voice, moving images) and data such as computer graphics, graphs, electronic documents between selected users or groups of users. By using videoconferencing, we see our interlocutor, so we have the impression that we are in one room with the people attending the meeting. 1.2 Modes of videoconferencing • Point-to-Point Video Conferencing - allows the transmission of audio and video signals between
Introduction The introduction to the book The Interpreting Studies Reader outlines the purpose of this work. The editors, Franz Pochhacker and Miriam Shlesinger, highlighted the absence of an up-to-date anthology of the most notable historical and current writings on interpreting and interpreting as a profession and set about to create a resource that would meet these needs. Pochhacker and Shlesinger define interpreting on Pages 5-6, saying, “Interpreting can be defined most broadly as interlinguial
How do people fall in love, finish degrees and manage businesses, all because of the technology on the Internet? This is strongly answered by internet technology such as: the use of webcams and video conferencing that has affected interpersonal communication today.

If I needed to explain what my source was about I would say that this source has helped me to decide what to do my project about and what kind of interpreting I would like to do. Also, I was able to see what kind of programs and schools I could do to get a certificate in interpreting. This interview actually did changed the goal of my project and my whole view on interpreting,
Professionalism, described as “the competence or skill expected of a professional”, is an important issue I see in the field of interpreting today. Although there are a variety of settings with ongoing issues of professionalism with practicing interpreters, this assessment will focus on the issues with K-12 interpreters. The issues with professionalism I see are inconsistencies with conduct (while autonomous and in a team setting), education (interpreters with minimal education or lack of formal
CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Motivation Interpretation of seismic data recorded by earthquake seismographs and that obtained in seismic reflection surveys conducted in the search for hydrocarbons presents a great challenge. The challenge lies in constructing appropriate models of the subsurface to extract as many properties of the subsurface rocks as possible and then solving the associated forward modeling problem followed by design of suitable inversion methods to extract the desired information
