Enterprise Unified Process

How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing. It felt like a sloppy mess of sudden twists and turns that would, in most books, keep me intrigued, but this did not interest me at all. If the author added just a little bit of flair to the certain parts of the writing then I think I would really enjoy the book. The book had things I didn’t like, a few things I did like, and a couple things I…

Coming into a college class made me nervous from the beginning because like many people I was afraid of the unknown. However, I was excited and scared about what was to come and how I would meet the challenges that I would face. At my previous school that I was attending, we wrote essays all the time so that could help prepare ourselves for writing college essays. Fast forward from my freshman year to now, my junior year, I know that I was nervous for no apparent reason. During English 111 I…

technical error and I had to depend on cards. The mock interview will probably be more beneficial to me than the other presentations. Even though I had a job in the past, an interview wasn’t required. Learning the process of working on a cover letter and a resume help me understand the process and effort that goes into applying a job. When it came around the monologue section, I knew that I had to work hard to memorize the speaking role. I look bacon onto my past speeches and focus what I…

Essay writers generally approach a piece of writing with a persuasive purpose in mind. The goal of a persuasive essay is to convince readers to believe, or at least consider, some proposition that the writer has developed throughout the piece. To accomplish that task writers have at their disposal two fundamental tools—they can use narrative, which is purposeful storytelling, or they can use exposition, which is a detailed explanation of an idea, theory, or finding. Studying how both narrative…

Every student has at least written an essay, go over the content once, and submits the paper hoping that they get a decent grade. This is a habit that I tend to do on my essays, but have been trying to surpass since the beginning of the semester. With my writing skills progressing in this course, so has my editing and revising skills. As I reread my first and second final drafts of this semester, I have been able to identify the errors in my writing and make significant changes to improve my…

The article, “Spelling Matters,”by Mikita Brottman, examines the importance grammar for those not only with a Ph.D, but also for those who turn have a resume. This conversational piece gave an insight into of the mind of Brottman at the time of her reading a resume that had the career field misspelled. From there, she tries to figure out if she is correct or if she is being too picky. The story is addressed to the general public, but was written especially for professors and students.…

In English 1101 I have improved my writing skills. I learn things from grammar, about run on words and how to put my thoughts together and put them on paper. I learn how to research paper. I learn how to change my writing process based on the guidelines of the assignment that I was giving. I didn't do really well in that class because of my bad time managing skill, I didn't get a lot of work done on time. I have a lot of things going on in my life. After school I go straight to work, and after…
