Yellowdig Reflection

Improved Essays
I enjoy the interaction with classmates and the different points of view that all students share in the discussion forum. Some of the articles were more interesting than others. I enjoy how the class is focus on learning by discussing current events in business. I think that the instructor’s opinion on the current topic should be part of the discussion. The instructor could summarize the most important issues with the discussions and how to improve future discussion topics.
I did not enjoy the questions on the midterm. Some of the questions have no relevant use for a business professional. I wanted to learn how to make better business decisions in real life situations, but this class did not help me learn new business techniques. The

Yellowdig is a very useful tool to share interesting subjects and interact with other professionals. The point system encourages participation. For this class, yellowdig was very similar to the class discussions. The additional posts can easily be included in the regular discussion board. Yellowdig is a valuable tool for the educational community.
4b) Was it interesting to read articles that you and your peers found in addition to the ones selected by the professor?
Most of the additional articles were interesting and relevant to the subjects being cover in class. The additional post complement the articles selected by the instructor. Some of the post by students offered a different way of looking at the same subject. I liked to learn from other students because their ideas and point of views originate from personal experiences.

    I have to say that writing my topic and working thesis for everyone in the class to see last week was a little intimidating. My topic was already a subject that some people might frown upon, so I was unsure of myself. After I read the feedback from my professor (Kristen) and my classmate (Chanda) I felt better about my topic. Kristen and Chanda had great feedback that will be incorporated into my narrative essay. There were also some feedback that I will probably have to pass on to make the essay flow seamlessly.…

    How we studied the body in systems was insightful for me, learning as an adult is much easier when we compartmentalize information into systems. In addition to that, the most helpful part of this class was learning to become a better writer. I enjoyed creating content on a weekly basis and getting helpful feedback from you and the rest of the class. You communicate clear expectations which help set the stage for a better post.

    Group presentations, although sometimes difficult, can be very beneficial to a student in many ways. When there is equal participation among group members they learn to work together towards a goal, trust others to do their allotted portion, and also get to know one another in the process. This last Thursday I felt like my group, Peter Kost, Ariel Wallace, and Emily Chandler, was able to present a well thought out and carefully prepared presentation. Though there were some struggles in the planning process, we were all able to be respectful of each others' thoughts and ideas for the project. I myself went into this assignment willing to not only learn more about the subject we choose, which was migration, but was also open to getting a better…

    Through out the semester my writing has improved greatly. Through out the first paper I discovered I enjoyed writing about events I’ve attended and giving a rhetorical stance about the things that occur at these events. While the second paper challenged me because of the way I had to think. Putting myself out of my own mind and analyzing why something is how it is had been a challenge because it’s something I haven’t done before.…

    I chose these essays because they were among the best that I wrote this semester. From these three articles, I have realized that they are both self-motivating and informative. Essentially, the essays are about people who are interested in finding out something new or developing new ideas about things. I wrote the essays from my personal experiences and views. The first two essays describe the experiences I had when writing a one page paper of a seventeen-page report and the experience that I had at Panama beach.…

    One thing which will forever stay in my mind is that I always have to connect my body paragraphs to the thesis statement. With the instructions from the book ‘The Curious Writer’ and the Owl at Purdue, the assignments for the semester were pretty clear and easy to follow. I also want to mention that the instructors from 101 and 102 were very responsive, anytime I had a question I emailed my instructor and I received a response right after my email. Next semester I will be taking English Literature.…
