Acc/1102 Task 1 Reflection

It is still so surreal to reflect back on my first semester as an incoming college student in the ENC1101 course, analyzing at my progression as a reader and writer in literacy. Since the first day of class I set in stone my goals for this class: receive a 4.0 GPA, develop my connecting theories skills in writing, and become more aware of objectives for each Unit throughout the course. All of these goals became achievements that not only make others proud but most importantly give me self pride. In order to earn the grades and achieve these goals, I went after every opportunity that I was given as an incoming college student, such as office hours and extra credit. By taking this course I have gained confidence with the utilization of literacy, and made an addition to my group of impactful literacy sponsors. Once students are finished with high school they assume that there is nothing else to learn beyond the stereotypical five paragraph essay, but they are so wrong. I was able to obtain so much knowledge about numerous course concepts from Writing about Writing, articles, and my professor. These concepts will carry on with me throughout a bright future of writing courses, job interviews, and any other skills that require literacy. The four outcomes listed below will help illuminate how I improved as a writer, by being a driven college student and going out of the way to earn my achievements in this course. In the first outcome I improved comprehending scholar texts,

In this final essay I have included works from IDS 101 Course: Essay collection week 1 titled Self-Reflection Profile Essay, week 2 Titled Critical Analysis Essay, and Week 7 Final Research project. I have also included three of, what I consider, my best discussion posts. Throughout my eight weeks in IDS 101 cornerstone, I have learned principles and techniques related to critical thinking, research writing, and digital communications.

To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army

After researching, I found two studies that are similar to my experiment. One study by Sean Boyd (2007) tested to see which brand of microwave popcorn yielded the least amount of un-popped kernels. Mr. Boyd tested five brands of butter flavored microwave popcorn: Aldi, Act II, Orville Redenbacher, Jolley Time and Pop-Secret. His experiment proved his hypothesis partially wrong. Mr. Boyd hypothesized that Orville Redenbacher would be the best and Aldi's would be the worst. His experiment proved that Act II produced the least amount of un-popped kernels while Aldi's did have the most un-popped kernels on average.

From the two filing statuses that the couple can use, the most advantageous for them would be married filing jointly and not married filing separately.

I am writing to share with you the work I have completed during the Spring 2015 semester in Mrs. Miller’s Engl 112 Dual Enrollment College Composition II course at Brooke Point High School. Continuing our work from the first semester, this course emphasized research and argumentative writing for both the social sciences and the humanities, and a very challenging multi-genre project on a topic of our choice. Mrs. Miller encouraged us to strengthen our research skills through the use of annotated bibliographies developed from using readings from our textbook (Graff 2008), and online research databases available through the Germanna Community College Library website, including Opposing Views in Context. I also used Academic Search Complete

Hi Lance, I was not using these 2 tasks, I have been using TT03191 and TT03190 Customer service follow up task. There was some confusion on how to secure your results and Linda was following up with you regarding all the contact tasks, timely handling (like our liability determination) and follow up. I understood there were several tasks for contact based on peril. I apologize for not following up on this and assumed since the office showed results under these 2 tasks the follow up task was the same for everyone. If I could partner with one of your CL’s for some training on your reports that would be great. Kathy

Throughout the revision process, I had the opportunity to discover my voice as a writer and engage in the conversation that is academic writing. In my final paper, I tried to reinforce the idea of a roadmap to guide my reader along my thought process. During my Embedded Writing Consultant appointment, I walked through the guidelines of a roadmap with Amarachi, and she emphasized the importance of a roadmap in reorganizing my paper. I realized that I could clearly articulate what I wanted to state by explaining it to her out loud, but when I translated such ideas to my paper, the main point oftentimes became lost. You mentioned something similar in your feedback, as many of the points I made did not connect to my central claim. Recognizing that I needed to emphasize my plan and then carry it out, I rewrote my paper with this in mind.

I feel as though my reflective essay about earning my GED was the paper with the most effective revision. The first couple of drafts were great. My original thesis was strong and my paragraphs were detailed and concise. However, my paper greatly improved when I started to make revisions. In the first drafts I never specified the reasoning behind my topic. I simply thought that the reader would not be interested in why I didn’t graduate high school. My introduction stated that I didn’t and my paper was reflective upon the experience of earning my GED. From the readers standpoint, there was a disconnect. My peers and even my instructor suggested that I elaborate on the reasoning behind the topic. Once I made this recision, the paper became more

For our personal reading response we had to reflect on an LRA revision. The revised response is an example of my best work because I expanded on my ideas and didn’t just talk about one topic which allowed me to make my response a lot longer than it was. In my work I branched out and talked about different ideas than just Bilbo talking back to Thorin and showing that he has authority over the group. I tried to make the analysis tie together so it didn’t go off topic and I also tried my best to include transitions in my writing. In my revised response I added what Tolkien’s intent might have been to make Bilbo save the group twice. In my original response my analysis is only three sentences so it is not very strong. For example, “This shows you

Throughout the entirety of Task 1 I faced many challenges and I was also gifted with many positives. One of the first few things that went quite well for me was that when I was put into my group most of us had already worked together prior to this task. Also being that we had already worked together we knew what we were interested in, so this made choosing our topic rather easy. Then we decided which lense we would each be tackling this process went almost just as easily however we did have to do some preliminary research prior to setting our lenses in stone. This was because we wanted to make sure that when we did each choose our lense that we did not in any way overlap each other's information in what we were planning to discuss. So then
