Book Journaling Reflective Analysis

Improved Essays
After reading Chapter 2, Essentials of College writing I realized I am not consistent with how I memorize or gain a better understanding the reading material. I know that with my college work I must work on utilizing more aspects of the SQ3R strategies. In high school I have done skimming, highlighting the important facts and reading the chapter summary to get a general idea about the subject. If I had to write a paper about a book journaling and reflection would be something I would use to annotate big events or turning points in the book to later reflecting on the outcome of that event. I have also annotated some key information I had to know on post cards to study for my career development course in the Air Force. For me reviewing the subject

    Introduction Definitions of intelligence vary among scholars, theorists, and laypersons, due to its multidimensionality. However, intelligence typically involves an individual’s ability to learn from experience and adapt to the environment in which they live. I believe that the construct of intelligence should encompass an individual’s ability to effectively communicate in both written and verbal form, to think logically, and to express creativity. Two intelligence tests in which I recently had the opportunity to take and score included the Shipley Institute of Living Scale-2 and the Wonderlic Personnel Test.…

    Reflective Statement Before the interactive oral on the impact of translations in the understanding of novels, I never regarded the influence of a translation on my understanding. While reading The Stranger, I knew the book had been translated from French, but disregarded that the translation might lead to alterations of words or ideas based on the style of the translation. With books originally written in one’s own language, it becomes easier to derive meaning closer to the author’s intentions as meaning through translating the language. However, after the Interactive Oral, I have a greater awareness of such aspects.…

    The in-class synthesis essay based on the topic of materialism best exhibits my growth as an AP writer. The writing in this passage was able to maintain a consistent tone against heavy consumerism and proved to be effective argument-wise. The claims made were clear and concise and also had adequate evidence to support them. This demonstrates that my writing has evolved from oversimplified claims or observations to strong arguments. This writing also demonstrates an improvement in choosing evidence that is sufficient and provides a link between the prompt and the argument.…

    My experiences working with APA and MLA have been useful. I have learned to properly communicate a message using these formats. I did not know much about these formats until English Composition I—my Professor started us on APA for a couple of weeks and that made the MLA learning process much easier. Writing in these documentations has opened my horizons and has educated me to speak about a project with more of a choice. I am majoring in Pre-Nursing…

    The statement by Nick Stockton refers to the brain's ability to compile and store information that then is retrieved at a later time. For example, students may walk to their next class despite not actively thinking where they are going. However, this kind of generalization is not completely accurate and can skip over details that are irrelevant to the overarching meaning of whatever is being recalled. Such oversight is a contributing factor to peoples' inability to recognize typos. The brain is more concerned about connecting ideas and conveying meaning than it is with meticulously following every character or word.…

    AJROTC Reflective Essay

    When I first heard about AJROTC, I wanted to take no part in it since I visioned myself being yelled at by the instructors and wearing those unappealing, green uniforms. I finally decided to join the program not because I wanted to, but because my friends joined the program as well in order to avoid being in PE. I didn’t know what I had gotten myself into. Seeing cadets being eager to take on leadership roles was something I didn't want to be involved in.…

    Hi Mrs. Araiza, Thank you so much for agreeing to be my reference and sorry for the late reply, this past week was extremely hectic for me. Most of my activities are from this school year since I was really overwhelmed last year and was not very active in any clubs/ organizations that I signed up for during the beginning of the year. Well for starter, I am currently working at UCLA School of Dentistry's Finance Office as a Work Study/ Student Assistant. This is a great experience for me as an Economics major since I was able to have hand-on working experience with financial documents. In addition to that, I recently ended my three months internship as a Marketing Maestro/ PR Agent for a Public Relation Agency.…

    Starting out my first semester in my undergraduate studies, I was so confident, believing that I would never become behind on assignments and will spend a tremendous amount of time studying. Unknowingly, I became behind on picking a preview date and was left with only a limited amount of open classes. While attending the preview, I was given a plan from DegreWorks that was filled with courses recommended for me my first semester. One of the courses apart of the plan was UNIV 150. After being unsure about the course, I did some further investigation on what I would be learning and then I asked myself, “Why do I need to take a course about college writing when I primarily took Pre-AP classes throughout high school? ”…

    So far, I can say that the strategies I learned in chapter have helped become a better note-taker. Now before I take notes I consider my goals and what I want to get out of my notes. I actively listen to what the professor has to say so that I can understand “is being said, making sense of it, and thinking about it in a way that permits it to be recalled accurately” (Feldman 58-59). For a student currently enrolled in college composition, this technique has helped me gather information more effectively for my essays. My essays are now more precise and provide more…

    Reflective Journal: It All Comes Together As my journey through Writing 39B comes to an end, I begin to reflect deeper on the spectacular experiences I have had. Coming in as a Computer Science major, writing was something that was not high up in my priorities in learning. Most of what I learned involved technical and literal logic that did not really apply to writing, or so I thought before taking this course. However, as time progressed and I really got a feeling for how important and crucial rhetorical skills are.…

    Throughout the experience of keeping an emotion journal I have come to a new perspective of myself and the way that I understand my emotions. I honestly didn’t feel that I would gain much from this project until day 2 after I wrote my second journal entry. On the 3rd day it became a fairly cathartic experience. Today is day 5 and I continue to journal for a few minutes at the end of each day. I have heard from successful people that journaling and written self-reflection at the beginning and end of the day is a necessity, and now I agree.…
