Writing process

Out of all 5 of my talents, Learner describes me the best. As cliché as it may sound, I really have a passion for learning. But my passion for learning extends far past just the usual sitting in class taking notes, or the usual memorization of subjects, instead it really reaches out to deeper depths where I really seek to master everything that is put into my head. I am not okay with only touching base on subjects or barely treading the surface of topics, rather I have to really dive into the…

Students are not only required to write papers for their selected majors but also for several classes, which allows them to grow in a holistic way. Overall, students are expected to demonstrate profound knowledge on the field…

really didn’t take any of the material in. So at the beginning I was a bit confused I had to improve many parts of my writing to correspond with the academic essay requirement. At the start of the semester I has some major weaknesses in my writing. My grammar was dreadful, and for some reason I just couldn’t write paragraphs and pull them together to make sense. I also didn’t went to writing learning center as the professor recommended for me which was awfully careless. I had to learn the…

Reflective account of presentation I have chosen "Is protectionism desirable?" as my topic of presentation as I learnt Economics in the high school and I am very familiar with this topic. In my presentation, I talked about the pros and cons of protectionism and tried to convince the audience that protectionism can be desirable in the short term but harmful in the long term. As for preparation, I had referred to related topics in my previous Economics text book to make sure I do not…

Literature is dynamic and constantly evolving. Cinderella has come a long way from its origin as a tale about persecution. In class, my classmates and I were given the Grimm’s fairytale version of Cinderella, which was written back in 1812 through the perspective of a common villager. We were asked to annotate and keep mind of various things such as religion, hierarchy and feminism. Later, we watched various trailers throughout the years to this present day of Cinderella. By doing this activity,…

Module1, DQ #2 Doctoral program is very tedious and time consuming. This is a program that requires constant reading, writing, discussions, and research. By enrolling in this program is like imposing a prison sentence on one myself and is likewise any other person. Due to its time consuming, many people hate to be involved and enroll. Nevertheless, irrespective of these limitations I decided to embark on this golden journey. In order to successfully complete week 4 paper, I must…

The inquiry paper “Smokin”, by John Seilman was a very interesting inquiry. It was a good example of a well done experiment write up. Even though the inquiry and write up was good, there is a way that the paper could have been great. John Seilman did somethings well on his paper, the student could have improved in three main areas of a usual inquiry write up, and after reading this a lot of more comments and curiosity took place. The paper had many great points. The topic was interesting. The…

For my informative speech I presented Duabi. In order to prepare for my speech, I had to do a lot of research on the city and come up with things people in my class might think would be interesting to learn about. I picked three main topics to talk about and expanded on them quite well in my opinion. I was very nervous presenting because I was afraid that my information was boring and that my class wouldn’t find anything I talked about interesting. Even when I practiced my speech I stumbled on…

still finding it difficult to stay interested in the content of the book. Although some of the information I fairly interesting and there are moments in the text that are quite enjoyable to read I still find myself not being that engaged with the writing. I enjoyed the brief narratives that Goleman uses to give example of the information he writes. I enjoyed the section of “When Smart Is dumb” where Goleman breaks down the actual value of thing like SAT scores and how little they matter when it…
