    PADM 302 Course Reflection My primary goals for this course were to improve my writing skills in two specific ways. I wanted to be able to write with greater speed, but with apparent quality, and I wanted to be clearer in my writing. I had two strategies in mind to meet these goals. The first included becoming proficient at writing outlines and frameworks, which, I thought, would help me better adhere to my objectives for the papers I write. The second strategy was to learn methods by which I could become more concise in writing which would enable me to more powerfully present the points I wish to deliver in papers.…

    I would fix this by going back to make a Tiqa Tiqa and organize my body paragraphs before starting. My paragraph was sort of all over the place so I would delete the unnecessary thoughts that don’t go with the topic of discussion. I’d also change my word choices so it wouldn’t be as boring, and it could give it some vibrantness to the…

    The model that I chose is sexual orientation refers to an enduring patter of attraction behavior emotion identity and social contacts (APA2015). I chose this model because this is something I hold very close and deep in my heart. In the model it was talking about how homosexuality is a negative stereotype and it’s identifying this with our life styles. As I want to become a Bored Certified Applied Behavior Analysis I feel that this model is relevant to my development because my husband and I are huge advocates in the LGBTQ community.…

    Learning Outcome 2

    • 652 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Throughout this semester, we have written two major papers that really display my capabilities as a writer. By evaluating these two pieces with the learning outcomes established at the beginning of this semester, outcomes 1, 2, and 3 are most applicable when gauging my progress in this course. Learning outcome 1 is, "Demonstrate academic research and writing skills in essays and projects to participate in a scholarly conversation" Learning outcome 2 is, "Demonstrate critical reading through a knowledge of the forms and functions of a variety of texts" Learning Outcome 3 is, "Follow a research writing process that includes developing a topic, locating and evaluating sources (including peer-reviewed), composing in response to those sources, and revising and reflecting on that process;" Each of these outcomes I believe I have met by using them as goals when writing in and out of class. In my essay "Survivors and their Children: Examining the Holocaust's Multigenerational Effects" I discuss the impact the Holocaust has on those who survived it and on their children.…

    Forming a good topic sentence is confusing; also, I always look back at books for editing grammar on how to use commas, colons, and semi-colons properly, and refer to the dictionary and thesaurus for better word choice, which consumes more time rather than writing a draft and generating ideas combined. Therefore, the next time I write paragraphs, I will work more on polishing my draft; by doing so, it will lessen the time needed to edit my draft. All in all , I enjoyed doing the whole writing process, because I feel I am close to writing excellent paragraphs. Disregarding one step from the writing process may seem alright but, for me as a growing writer, I’d love to be challenged by doing it…

    I feel that the LearnSmart is a very important resource to me, my success in this class and as I take the rest of my courses toward my degree. By taking the practice quizzes in LearnSmart, it is a great way to test your knowledge of the subject matter you were assigned. It was good for me to see the topics that I knew well and to see the subjects that I was not as familiar with immediately after answering the questions. I was then able to back and re-read the material until I was comfortable enough to take the practice quiz again. After reviewing My Success Plan last week, I knew how I liked to learn and study and what areas I needed to improve.…

    Hey Tiffany, I also was confused a little bit about what to pick for what to be evaluated of my paper in SmarThinking. I did not like that allows for just two things, but overall it is a great service, and gives useful feedbacks. I agree with you about professor Williams, she made this course go by nice and smooth. We learned a lot of things about writing, step by step, and finally we demonstrated it on our papers. Following these steps; from writing down an annotated bibliography, writing a source synthesis matrix, and adding a type of persuasive appeal, makes writing a paper simpler, and more…

    Critical reflection Reflecting back on what I have learnt about myself as a writer is that it is okay to be aware of your weaknesses and using the necessary tools to support and strengthen them. As a writer it is good to step outside of your comfort zone and experiment with new genres. Let your writing take you on an emotional journey, and let your emotions lead your writing into a new journey. As a writer you need to expand your vocabulary and use powerful descriptive words to really create a mental image for your readers. I have learnt to understand the importance of sentence structure, drafting, and proof reading and not over using commas creating sentences that are too long.…

    I am going to make sure that I can make the community a better place not just for me but for everyone. The reason why I think I like helping players so much is because I think I want them to be able to not have the experience that I did playing minecraft. I just never had help a lot on servers, so I think it is important that they have fun right off the bat. I think it is important for staff to like helping players because that is like pretty much 70% of what they are doing each day! I have a thick skin.…
