Editing

as a news platform. This has since changed to an in-class editing exercise. This change is preferable, however when we were to be taught how exactly the editing process works, we were referred to an external ‘online webinar’ at the personal cost of $50 to ‘learn all we need to know about editing.’ I find this completely unprofessional. No editing classes are a prerequisite for this subject, so one would expect detailed tutorage in the editing process if expected to perform an exam on the matter.…

This job requires more skills than just taking pictures and editing them to be an Animal Photographer. It requires photography, camera and software, and editing skills. These skills seem easy, but these skills can also be difficult from time to time. Camera skills are very important because you are going to be working with many types of cameras and you should be able to pick it up quickly along with the different types of software and editing applications. Dealing with all of the camera…

Genome editing has been a controversial topic that dates back to the early 1900s where it was predicted to be a path taken in order to further humanity. Through recent technological breakthroughs just this is happening. “In February of [last] year, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in the United Kingdom approved a request by the Francis Crick Institute in London to modify human embryos using the new gene editing technique CRISPR-Cas9”(Harris). CRISPR and specifically CRISPR-Cas9…

faced in the 60’s that would otherwise remain unseen to present-day watchers. Selma provides an exclusive and accurate look into the lives of those who fought and marched for equality and with it’s inspiring plot, fundamental cast, and impactful editing, Selma is one of few movies…

critique essay. I had to overcome the nerves of writing my first essay of my college career. So the problems I had are those expected of a first time experience. I had problems with several different elements of the essay. I struggled with my ideas, editing, and my vocabulary. Once I understood what was expected in a literacy narrative, I began to gather my ideas. Many stories came to my mind that I could have wrote about. I thought about my mother reading to me when I was very young. I…

modifying specific sites in DNA sequences of cells or organisms. The ability to achieve effective and precise editing of the genome has been achieved and advanced through the development of sequence-specific nucleases1. Zinc-finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) are programmable DNA binding nucleases previously used to achieve this targeted editing of DNA. However these tools have been found to be both time consuming and difficult to employ. The…

Chromebooks and Google Docs to “share” their papers with one another, completing comments and suggestions in the right hand column. This lesson focuses on “editing to produce and strengthen writing that is clear and coherent, with some guidance and support from peers and adults”. During the Guided Practice of the lesson students will use the Editing Checklist and working with a partner. Students will have the guidance and support from their peers to edit and strengthen their writing. As I…

through his use of highly stylized elements of mise-en-scene, sound, and straying from the codes and conventions of documentary-making. Chris Marker, on the other hand, portrays memory as a solid, immobile structure through his use of still images, editing, and a lack of color. By using the interviewing, or “talking heads”, element of documentaries, Morris allows key witnesses in the conviction of Adams to continue droning on, eventually starting to stain their own credibility. The simplest way…

structure my writing time better: planning my essay before I begin writing, keeping an updated copy of my outline on hand, giving myself interim deadlines, and allowing plenty of time for editing. Planning time to edit after writing will especially improve my final papers. Making better estimates of how long writing and editing will take is a skill that will develop the more I write on the block plan. I need to do more preplanning of my papers. This should be both outlining the paper…

range of other diseases that effect today’s society. The “Crisper-Cas9” technology discussed in the On-Point interview gives us the knowledge to understand that gene editing is possible. The study done on Crisper-Cas9 technology was further examined by Lotta Avesson and Guy Barry who said that “the field of single base sequence editing has experienced a major transformation,” while…
