A Reflection of the Past Ten Weeks in FYI 101 When I started college at Augustana in August and walked into my first day of FYI 101, bright and early on a Monday morning, I did not know what was in store for me to learn in the following ten weeks. Coming into college I could not write in a proper, college way. I did not know how to properly cite sources that I used. This included in text citations and work cited pages. I also would write every essay in a five or six paragraph format instead of writing
the course progressed, I became more curious and frequently generated new ideas to incorporate into my writing. When I first started the Annotated Bibliography, the course reader was a great help in outlining a template to follow. The Annotated Bibliography doesn’t require too much thinking, so I merely followed what needed to be done. The Annotated Bibliography still required knowledge of the general topics I would like to summarize. The summary themselves did not require me to be creative, but the
1) Nick Otten writes "How and Why to Annotate a Book" for an audience of students, whereas "Beyond the Yellow Highlighter" is written by Carol Porter-O’Donnell as a resource for teachers. Otten addresses “readers,” “students,” and “you” during the introduction thus identifying his audience of students as though he is presenting a verbal speech. In contrast, O’Donnell writes from personal experience to share her methods of teaching with her fellow teachers. For example, she writes “Before teaching
Over the course of the year, I have annotated countless short stories, articles, reviews, and novels. Coming into the class in September, I had little to no knowledge of the numerous intricacies that contribute to effectively annotating a piece of written work. Over time, I have learned much more about how I like to read and write. The constant repetition of annotating articles has helped me to improve the quality of said annotations, to a point today where I can say I have found the best personal
Throughout my first semester of English in college I have gained a significant amount of knowledge in writing. Each writing assignment encouraged me to use and try new approaches to writing. They also encouraged me to a take my writings a step further than the previous papers I have written before. My writing is more academic and formal rather than casual and informal. I have taken the tools that I have learned throughout the semester and articulated those tools into each writing project. With many
What is an annotated bibliography? When and why is it used? Also, what are in-text citations and why do we use them? These are a few questions that we will be addressing in this paper, in addition to many other questions about these topics. Let us start by defining an annotated bibliography. As mentioned by Bullock et. al, “an annotated bibliography describes and gives publication information for, and sometimes evaluate each work on a list of sources.” (p.66) Additionally, an in-text citation is
An annotated bibliography is a list of available references to books, articles, and documents. Each reference is followed by a brief description of the content, quality, and relevance of the source this is the annotation. An annotated bibliography is similar to a bibliography with one significant difference: an annotated bibliography has an evaluative paragraph after each reference. In her article "A survivor's story" Angela Goodwin-Slater (2013) claims that the effect of child abuse on her was mental

As for Seminars, I leaned how to write a CV and an annotated bibliography as well as explain concepts. All of them are useful. Knowing how to write a CV can help me to apply for schools or jobs. Knowing how to write an annotated bibliography can help me in my academic future at UIC. The most useful one is concept explanation presentation. When I learned to explain concepts, I got information about
pulls up a power point from the projector the class begins right at 6:00. She begins with asking for students to get their writer's notebooks out and answer the question that was on the whiteboard: “(When it comes to Literature Review versus Annotated Bibliography) Which do you do and why? What do you understand to be the difference between these two mediums. Please respond to this question in your writer’s notebook.” Keener also mentioned that she would be
