This semester I have done well with improving my writing but been offensively immature with fulfilling commitments. This semester I have come to class every day, engaged a little in class lessons although not a lot, and came to class prepared most of the time. I was really bad at making conferences which is really bad and has to change in the future. My next English class I will have to make conferences while also continue improving my writing. The MEAL Plan has really helped me with structuring my paragraphs and improving the overall flow of my writing. PaperRate.com has improved my grammar and pointed out specific problems in my essays that need attention. Finally, Smart-Words.com has given me tips for transitioning from one sentence to another

Deeply rooted in psychological and neuroscientific perspectives on animal behavior, of how agents may optimize their control of an environment.” (Human-level control through deep reinforcement learning. Nature.com) From what I understand reinforced learning with AI involves a basic neural network in which the program receives positive or negative signals depending on the actions it takes. Reinforced learning can also lead to an AI having the ability to do more than one general area of tasks. The AI is actually learning to do tasks without being told or programmed to do them. If a machine has the ability to learn to do tasks without being told to then it seems very possible that a machine could learn morals and reason. If a machine has morals, reason, and the ability to learn on its own without specific programming then it is almost certainly intelligent. The threat of intelligent free thinking robots is a true threat. …show more content…

I would also transition between sentences by writing then, after that, also, finally, which is an alright way of transitioning but using the same transitional phrase two to three times a paper seems really ugly to me. I found Smart-Words.com which has a ton of transitional words and phrases for every type of transitional situation. Although PaperRater.com said that my use of transitional phrases was a lot better than most students in my education level I still wanted to make some improvements.
