Beardshear Hall Reflection

Decent Essays
In my revision of my Assignment #4 I did not feel the need to change much. I added words or phrases throughout the paper that would make it sound better. I also added why The Central Building was named after William Beardshear, this is located at the end of the first paragraph in the first section titled, “History of Beardshear Hall.”

I decided to take out some things. I took out unnecessary words/phrases. An example of one of the phrases I deleted is: “The overall layout and design of Beardshear Hall is hard to describe.” This is just a filler sentence that has no meaning to my paper. I took out most, if not all, of these ambiguous statements. I also deleted some of the history in the introduction. The history is covered in the next section

    Stigmatization can be something as simple as referring to the mentally ill as “crazy”, or something much for harmful, like invalidating a person’s illness by telling them to just “get over it”. The two articles Stigma and Help Seeking for Mental Health Among College Students by Daniel Eisenberg et al., and A Critical, Rhetorical Analysis of Man Therapy by Sam Mocarski and Sim Butler, both address this issue in a unique way that caters to their disciplines. Eisenberg and his co-authors focus on the impact of stigmatization and identifying the problem and its effects. They do this by surveying college students on how stigmatization has affected help-seeking. On the other hand, Mocarski and Butler focus on a solution to the problem and analyze…

    There is a stigma associated with attending Brookdale. It did not make sense to me, and I did not let it stop me. In my senior year of high school, I blatantly told everyone I was going to Brookdale and faced opposition. No one understood. I was in the top ten percent of my class.…

    To improve this paragraph, I discussed what the emotional appeal of the paper was, what tone was set, and how that tied in to the style, in greater detail than the previous paragraphs. You also mentioned that throughout my document I did not introduce my sources or information, so that was a main target in my revisions. For example, on my claims and evidence I introduced the article where a man discussed his changing opinion of hip hop music that I did not previously. Then, later on in the paper when discussing the content, I introduced the study that was performed by a group of researchers that was cited in the paragraph. My logical fallacies were also brought up, and it was stated that I needed more examples,…

    The assignment I chose to make revisions to was the Resume and Cover Letter assignment. I chose this assignment not only because of my letter grade, but also because I feel this assignment will be beneficial in my future when sending off a cover letter and resume to potential employers. To begin, I made changes to my cover letter. There were a few sentence structure errors. For example, “With reference to your advertisement in The University of Tennessee Knoxville Center of Development, I am writing you with regard to the job opening for a Forensic Accountant.”…

    There are three main points that stuck out to me from Dr. Sunser's presentation last week. The first point is the changing nature of the college presidency in the 21st century. The second point concerns his personal approach to the presidency, and the last is related to the issues arising from external accountability. It is these three points that I will focus on throughout this reflection. Dr. Sunser made clear in the beginning of his discussion that the traditional path to the presidency is no longer dominant within higher education.…

    After reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, I realized how our lives are both similar and completely different. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my problems with depression and anxiety.…

    Wolters Reflection

    I have mixed feelings on how to react to Wolters’ writing. Wolters takes what may seem like something that all reformational Christians should already know and reinforces this classical worldview in a useful way. The musings of Wolters have been the integral backbone of my entire educational experience over my years at Dordt. However, I have never been formally introduced to these concepts before starting college. This may be obvious to anyone who knows me, but up until a couple of years ago, I had never heard of the terms, “reformational,” “worldview,” “structure and direction,” or even “creation, fall, redemption.…

    Last year I became Vice President of Student Organization of Latinos (S.O.L). Before S.O.L the only club I had been a part of was Heath Occupation Students of America (H.O.S.A) a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO). Becoming Vice President of S.O.L was something novel to me, I had no experience being a co-leader of any club but I wanted to try something new and was willing to give it my all. I knew it was going to be a challenge because S.O.L was only being established at our school and it was the club’s first year.…

    A major way I revised my paper was expanding on the principals of the Sanctity of Life and the 4th Amendment. In my first draft I only briefly mentioned the two, however, Janet advised that I should write more. She said that I needed to show two authority going against each other on both sides. Taking her advice I found more information on both topics to be able to give more in depth explanations. Janet suggested that I should move the position of one of my paragraphs in the section against euthanasia and physician assisted suicide.…

    Brown again decides that he will no longer to continue on his errand and rationalizes that just because his teacher was not going to heaven, why should he "quit my dear Faith, and go after her". At this, the Devil tosses Goodman Brown his staff (which will lead him out of his Eden) and leaves him. Goodman Brown begins to think to himself about his situation and his pride in himself begins to build. He "applauds himself greatly, and thinking with how clear a conscience he should meet his minister... And what calm sleep would be his...in the arms of Faith!" This is ironic because at the end of the story, he can not even look Faith in the eye, let alone sleep in her arms.…
