Asl 101 Reflection

Writing may come naturally for some people, but for me, it does not. This class will be challenging- as it is a college course- but that does not mean that I am not going to try my best to receive an A, and meet all of the expectations this semester. Even with it not coming naturally, I do know tasks that improve my writing, like being able to analyze the purpose, audience, and rhetorical strategies used by other writers (syllabus 2). In my AP Language class I took last year the concept of being able to come up with those three things was heavily stressed; therefore, we did multiple practice worksheets and wrote essays where we would have to come up with those things. On page 3 in the guidebook, it says that we should know how to write and

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

I had my appointment on the previous week at the Writing center. I brought my 2nd project for ENGL 160 class. I scheduled tutor to “face to face”, because I think it is the best way to improve all of my mistakes. Before going to Writing center, I was thinking that this tutor doesn’t help me at all, but fortunately my thoughts was wrong and I enjoyed 1 hour of editing my project.

I think the most challenging courses I took this year was AP Lang but not because of the work or reading but because I did not give me 100% in that class. I think that is something I did wrong and I should have changed that as fast as I could. My grade could have been better in that class then what I got both semesters. The expectations I wanted to meet did not end up that way and actually ended bad for me which I regret. Some of the strengths I discovered this year was being able to ask questions and participate in class without being embarrassed and also talk to my teachers individually which was something that was really hard for me freshman and sophomore year. There are some assignment that I am really proud of and other that I think I

When I watched my own video I realized a lot of things that I did well. One of thing,that

Additionally, I wove my knowledge of best practices in online learning into my previous fall and spring ASL courses to improve, implement, and apply my new knowledge to alleviate a repeat dilemma of frustration, confusion, and inconsistencies in my future classes. Therefore, the plan utilizes principles such as developing it before the fall course begins, providing students concise and clearly articulated assignments, expectations, and rubrics (Anderson, 2011). Furthermore, as a blended class, I instructed students to post an introduction along with mine and a video introduction with the purpose of establishing connections before meeting face to face. With this in mind, application and utilization are set through the video introduction I recorded

Looking back at project 3, I felt very happy with the essay I produced. I am not one to enjoy writing since I usually do not feel very confident in my writing. I felt the work I produced through project 3 was one of my best. I put a lot of effort into this essay and it showed in my final draft. With this being said, after comparing my essay to the rubric I gave myself a 3.64 overall on this project for many reasons. This essay in no means was perfect, but I learned from my strengths and weaknesses.

riting 101 was the second college course I have taken. Before I started taking college classes, I had not attended any type of academic classes sine I graduated high school in 2012. Going into this course, I thought I was not going to benefit very much from it but I was wrong. I had forgotten the majority of what I learned in high school. This writing course not only helped me to refresh my writing skills, but also taught me new things that I know will be helpful as I continue my education. When I realized I had to take this class I thought it would be easy for me. I soon realized that even though I had taken advanced classes in high school, in many ways I was not prepared for college level writing.

Much of what I learned for our class’s assessment has to do with the sentence structure and history of American sign language. For starters, I would have never have guessed that American sign language is a descendant from French sign language! Nearly forty percent of the nouns in American sign language are directly from French sign language. Another fascinating factoid I learned from this quiz was the importance of facial expressions. I would have figured that facial expressions would be indicative of emotion, however, I quickly realized through

Online websites offer free video dictionaries with models demonstrating each sign. Many sites offer teaching resources such as downloadable guides and worksheets and the ability to create personalized quizzes for students, all of which can be printed for use in the classroom. Some websites offer complete printable workbooks, lessons plans, and practice cards. as well as downloadable PowerPoint presentations. There are online communities with the goal of helping people studying ASL to find mentors to guide them. These sites have forums where people can discuss ASL learning methods, post information about local classes being offered, and look for support.

To start, I have to say that I truly enjoyed this assignment. I learned so much not only about the city of Oakland, but also about all the cities that the individuals in my group selected. It was interested to compare the trends that some of our cities shared, and also what was different.

Intern met with resident K. Brown for the purpose of addressing her personal concerns and speaking with her about her community service hours. Kiara informed me that she completed her community service hours for the previous week. Intern asked her to verify the days she completes CS hours, and she stated Sundays and Wednesdays. Resident did express her frustrations by saying that she used to mess up with her CS hours, but she is really trying to do better. Intern advised her that another resident completes hers during that time, so she will have to do CS hours on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Intern also explained to her the importance of doing CS hours. It was explained that not only is this a requirement of the program,

While the theme of ENGL 105 with Dr. Rowland is What We Do When We Read, I found the course’s effect on my writing to be the most beneficial result of taking this course. I learned how to formulate and transcribe an argument in an efficient manner. This is not to say that I did not also enjoy learning about various topics relating to the mental phenomena that occur when I read literature.

The Writing II course has been my most interesting and rewarding class. Even though I could not complete the class, the course is not over for me. Before taking the class, I acknowledge I have much room to grow in writing, but I did not know where to start. Writing has always been unclear to me in many areas, and this class helped me to unblemished my understanding. In this class, I have acknowledged my weakest areas in writing, but my most astonished ambiguity was determiner noun and vocabulary. I did not know I was using determiner incorrectly and vocabulary span is so important in academic writing. The English Simplied book is an easy and an excellent learning tool that was used in this course. It covers all areas in determiners.

Reflection is considered as a vital element of professional practice as it precedes to insight and then subsequent change in practice. The hypothesis of reflection is not new as it can be tracked as far back in the 5th century by the influential Greek philosopher, Socrates and to the 1930s primarily focusing on John Dewey’s work. Dewey is one of the founders of learning from experience. He theorised reflection as ‘active, persistent and careful consideration’ (Dewey, 1933) initiated by a specific situation which was opposing, perplexing or uncertain. One of its most common use today is coming up with a thought, an idea, or opinion made or an observation made as a result of concentration, suggesting in essence a way of thinking in which one looks back and meditate upon (Agnes, 2004).
