During the time of writing Project 1 I experienced immense growth, in all four WPA outcomes and all eight habits of mind. I had to use the WPA outcomes in the very first assignement we did for Project 1. In this assignment we had to analyze three different profiles and understand why they were examples of effective profiles. I gained rhetorical knowledge as the assignment helped me undestand what to do to make a profile effective. I realized that using details to enhance the profile makes a reader more interested and trying to explain a story without giving enough details makes the read boring and unintersting. This assignment also helped me gain knowedge of conventions as I learned how to effectively use secondary sources and how important …show more content…
I took me a few hours to finish the project and I wrote alot of the project in the first draft. I visited Mill Avenue the place of my profile several times to collect data and anaylze the surronding so that I would be able to descibe it properly. The assignments we had in the build up to submitting the final draft helped alot as well and helped me understand the importance of having a writing process as it gave me a clear idea about what I was writing and how to write it. We also had to find credible secondary sources and not the first link we would find on google. I had to read various articles and then decide which would fit the criteria of the place I was writing about. I did not know how to properly cite my sources so I used the website the professor sugessted and gained a rough idea about how I should cite my sources. I reccieved reviews of my rough draft from my peers and my prfoessor who said they understood the place I was trying to describe but it needed work as it was not as strong an explaniation as it could be. I had also not added a picture to my essay and that was something I added to give a better image of the place I was trying to describe. Before submitting the final draft I would write a paragraph almost every day and save these as new drafts. In the end I got feedback from a few of my friends and asked them which paragraphs they felt were a good description of the place I was trying to descibe. I feel that this paper was a good learning experience as I learned where my shortcomings are while writing this paper but I did not fully implement them in this paper and that is something I will be doing in Project 2. This paper was a good learning experience and I felt that my final draft was a good representaion of my work but in project 2 I will try and make sure that it is a representaion of my best
Cleaning up down South: supermarkets, ethical trade and African horticulture is a piece by Susanne Freidberg published in Social and Cultural Geography journal in 2003 (Freidberg, 2003). Susanne Friedberg holds PhD from UC Berkely and is a Professor of Geography in Darmouth College, New Hampshire (“Susanne Freidberg,” n.d.). In the article the author argues that the ethical standards have become fetishised. The UK supermarkets compliance with such standards edges on paranoia. It does not mean that the supermarkets care about these standards from moral point of view but that the compliance is driven by fear of bad
Is it socially acceptable behaviour for people to dedicate their lives to an object? Sure, one might say. People have passions and hobbies; these “objects” are worked hard for and should be enjoyed. Although most would say that this type of behaviour is not how normal people should live and that life’s fruition lies in the hands of social interaction; we can only truly enjoy life in the company of other humans, not objects. Where is the line drawn? Is it possible to cling on to a possession so much that it starts to detrimentally affect the person involved? W.D. Valgardson’s short story The Novice demonstrates that this is certainly a possibility. The protagonist undergoes a similar situation; he gets caught up in idealism (glamorizing
This Critical Thinking Assignment focuses on using the Systemctl, runlevel, and init commands that were discussed in this week’s classroom materials. Following the steps in this assignment will demonstrate how these commands can be used from the shell prompt of Linux to manage the boot process and restart options of a test Linux virtual machine (VM). This report will document the process of completing each step and include screenshots where applicable to demonstrate the results of each step.
This week’s critical thinking assignment explores the system-level scripting functionality of the Linux operating system. Documenting each step in the assignment will demonstrate how to use the awk and sed commands to display different sets of data from and file based on the commands used. The sed command will also be used to change the data within the test file. These steps will be discussed and illustrated with screenshots in the following paper.
This paper offers a critical reflection and analysis of my genogram. My family consists of two completely different families thrown together who coexist together without much intermingling. When viewed as one unit, I would describe my family as a loose knit, hardworking, Black middle-class, southern, Christian family. I use the term loose knit because my family is not close at all. We can go months without talking to or seeing each other and there is nothing wrong with that. There have been many times I have been in conversation with family friends and find out information about my family because we do not interact with family members often. The anchor that each of us is close to is our mother, Sandra Smith-Graves.

The total amount of surveys to be analyzed was 110, and it was decided to break up each question as much as possible in order to make it easier to analyze.
“Most: Conger (1991) states in many instances an executive will overtly or covertly influence a team’s proposal, perhaps by picking team members whose opinions are already known, making his or her preferences clear in advance, or signaling opinions during the recommendation phase. If that is the case, the decision maker becomes a de facto member of the recommendation team and can no longer judge the quality of the proposal because his or her own biases have influenced it”
After much thought, I came to the conclusion that there was not just one significant learning experience from this course. I enjoyed the variety of readings and the conversations with classmates. Developing papers to convey my thoughts and provide supporting evidence, has helped me become a better writer. Though, I am far from being a superb writer, this course provided the opportunity to further develop my writing skills.
The most rewarding assignment from this class for me was the Individual Exploratory Project. This assignment allowed me to use the tools I learned from assignments before, such as adding voice and personality from the memoir and efficient researching from the rhetorical analysis. I really enjoyed this assignment because it was not written as a typical essay and allowed me to research each question I had as I went through my writing. I enjoyed this assignment because it also taught me that writing is an endless process of ideas and questions. It also helped me to continue developing skills for effectively searching for articles and responding to them.

In this essay, my goal was to create a well written and formatted Critical Analysis essay where I would introduce an argument and use evidence to support my position. I also had to include a counterclaim in order to argue anything that went against my position on the topic, as well as viewing the effectiveness of using strong sources that would support my writing. The only reason I was motivated to write this essay was because it was mandatory for my FIQWS class. I hope to accomplish an essay where I include a clear argument and is well supported by my evidence; and hopefully connect back with my thesis
