1101 is to prepare the student to effectively communicate, and identify or create new knowledge in various spheres of life. English 1101 assisted me to have control over the writing conventions through extensive writing practice or reading, guided by evaluations and feedbacks from my course instructor. The course contains several topics namely; effective writing processes, rhetorical organizations methods, academic writing formats and styles, critical reading skills, researching, and citing the researched
literature involves re-thinking and re-writing of initial ideas to improve upon previous concepts. My first attempt at discovering a thesis for the Explaining Relationships Essay seemed to be too broad, leaving me without public resonance. There was not a noticeable struggle through the invention process, because most of the questions asked in the book aiding in invention can be answered without a relevant thesis. Simply exploring the meaning behind my writing was the portion (and most important)
The imagination is a grand thing; it will bring you everywhere, as Einstein once said. You can imagine anything. Say, your role in the world. Everybody has a role: scientists, discovering new things to help the world; authors, providing education and entertainment; construction workers, building our houses and other living spaces. You must build a community to be part of it. Now, as a child, I would say that I don’t really know what role I play. As a child, you’re supposed to learn, grow, get a job
of music. This became a new addiction for me; it felt rebellious, cool, in style and new. Eventually, it felt very repetitive and it seemed as if everyone was trying to emulate the same sound. So, after a short time, I began searching for music on my own. I bought Coldplay and Vampire Weekend albums, and was on the lookout for music with a more sophisticated feeling than what I had been listening to previously. I was then hopelessly addicted to music that I was discovering, and was proud to say I
Mississippi, I hoped for more than just a passing grade. As a business major, I expected to improve my writing and communication skills to better prepare myself for speeches, meetings, and group projects that I will come across during not only my college education, but my professional career as well. I realize that English is essential in my everyday life and for my college classes. English 102 helped me to recognize that it is necessary to know how to construct a well written paper that reveals a purpose
thoroughly discusses the importance Paul brought to the unraveling and the spread of Christianity. The documentary covered many different aspects of what was happening in that era. I am going to discuss some of the points the video covered and the new information I learned watching this documentary. Back in the day before and during the days of Judaism 90% of the Mediterranean was pagan. By the time Paul arrived in Corinth, pilgrims have been worshiping for centuries in shrines. Arriving in Corinth
DISCOVERING YOURSELF This topic is very interesting with the Discovery wheel, learning styles, and balancing learning styles. My favorite assignment was the discovery wheel, this exercise shows me that I need to balance the skills that I have and some real weaknesses that I did not know that I had. Discovery is a way to find your TRUE strengths and weaknesses and how balance them. Discovery, commitment, and Mastery should be in every student vocabulary and should be something worked on
as I agree with this one. The side characters are just that, they stay to the side. Lots of characters in this book could have been trashed without much destruction to the plot. The Nine Lives of Chloe King is a book about a girl turning 16 and discovering she is a part of an ancient dying race, not only that, but she also becomes the “true” leader by having nine lives. She must protect her people and try to create peace with their sworn enemy. I did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would
English 111 was an educational journey for me. Throughout the course, I was able to develop my own writing style as well as learn how to perfect my writing skills. At the start, I was not fully prepared to be a good writer. I did not know who the writer was inside of me. I could not find her and did not even know where to look. I realized that my goal was not just to get good grades, but be able to understand and absorb the material. The lessons I would learn in English 111 would be of great
The Oxford Dictionary defines creativity as “the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness”. Stemming from this, the creative process is the way in which an individual develops their creative ideas. Under this umbrella is improvisation and, in particular, free improvisation (or free jazz). “Improvisation is about… truthfully responding to changing circumstances, and about…. enjoying the process without straining to get a known result. It is about creation.” Creativity
