Intellipath modules were great in testing what I have read and learned, also the practice guide helped greatly. Learning this much knowledge entirely in 5 weeks is a bit intense trying to soak up all the knowledge and applying it properly. The largest concept that stood out this session is the process of accurate essay writing. Since there is various styles’ of outlines, main topics, and layouts such as chronological,

These steps can help anyone write a decent and fully developed paper.…

    He showed me that with every argument comes a counter argument; adding a counter argument reinforced my argument greatly. Another technique I applied to my essays with Professor Castro’s instruction was planning. In high school, planning an essay seemed like a waste of time because the assignments were always just five paragraph, five sentence essays. Since we had to write these essays in such a short amount of time for tests, I was able to produce the work the night before. On the other hand, Professor Castro has shown the divergence between high school and college; planning and editing are two essential steps in writing.…

    “Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” – Berenice Abbott A photograph displays more to the human eye than expected; on “looking” at photographs we are captivated in an artistic narrative formed – it’s said that we are engaged in personal creation that is not provided with given endings, reflections are modified, something’s are altered, memories are re-defined, and “new” memories and expectations develop. With this being said, Dorothea Lange and David Moore are photographers whose work speaks in depth of societies past, present and future.…

    Learning different modes of writing and putting them into practice will allow me to be able to approach different subjects with an appropriate style. Although I had learned to use only academically credible sources before, I had become too lax and this class put me back on the right track of being aware. I have only done papers in APA format for the past two years, so this class was a nice refresher on MLA format. I think it’s important to be fluent in both; while in college you never know if different teachers will require a different format than others. Beyond improving my writing ability, this class achieved its critical thinking development goal as well.…
