Project 3: Course Analysis

Writing is examined in the first chapter of “Writing about Writing”, a textbook by Elizabeth Wardle and Doug Downs. Not only does it examine articulate writing, but specifically the threshold Concepts of writing: “ideas that change the way you think, write, and understand a subject,” (Wardle, Downs 2011). Terms are used to educate readers, these terms are essential for the writer to better understand how to write, and for the reader to better understand composition. Three terms seem to do this; construct, contingency, and rhetoric.

Analyzing Stylistic Choices helps you see the linguistic and rhetorical choices writers make to inform or convince readers.

The St. Martin Handbook describes rhetorical situations. Which can be used to make good decisions to become a good writer. The author encourages

In the last three parts of this paper, I described how my own literacy history has affected my pedagogy as a future teacher. As I looked closer at the different theories of rhetoric, I believe that I fall between the expressivists/new romantics and the cognitivists, as I explained in part two. I believe that when writers are able to become comfortable forming their own opinions in their writing in a writer-centric environment, they will be more likely to succeed in doing so with writing that has an intended audience. I believe this line of thinking or pedagogical approach will work best for developing writers, as it focuses less on the technical side of writing and more on the content- or being able to realize their own

Is there ever an instance when a M.Ed. cohort student does not have to take EDUC 635? I have had 2 students, 1 reading and 1 C&I, call to ask if they need to take 635. The C&I student said his professor talked about 630 being different for those taking 635 and those not. The reading student said 635 did not show on her advising sheet, which it does on all the advising sheets I have. The first time I was asked the question, I assumed there was some confusion with the professor, but when I got the same question twice in 2 days it made me wonder if I had missed something.

Education 190 was definitely the most interesting course I have taken at Berkeley thus far. Christyna and the course assistants did a great job in providing the students with a true democratic education experience. A course that is engaging, democratic, and stimulating is a valuable addition to Berkeley courses, many of which execute a straight-forward test banking approach to teaching. I was always excited to go to this class because we would be performing different activities each day. The only thing I regret is that this class was not extended to Fridays. What I liked most is that this class makes it a point to emphasize learning over everything else. In Berkeley, students are led to believe that their grades determine their self-worth.

The person I chose to do my tech teach assignment with was my mom. She is 53 and only uses the computer for email and shopping. She doesn't understand what facebook is and why my sister and I are on it all the time. I thought she would enjoy using it and finding old friends from when she lived in Tennessee. A lot of the people she works with have facebook and it will give her another way of communicating with them.

Designing has been a major aspect of my career as an engineering student. One of my most notable moments of design was my Freshman Engineering Projects course. In this class I designed a handlebar light for bikes with the goal of making it both more economical than and superior to current designs. Working in a group with three others, we set out to make a light that would be more robust, secure, and safer than current products on the market. The process began with three rough ideas of where we wanted to go and through many iterations of tweaking, testing, and prototyping we narrowed our plan down to one final design. Throughout the time we took preparing our final product we always had the cyclists we were making the product for in mind.

I have now completed my research paper for my graduation project and continue onward to finish my physical product and oral presentation. With my passion for additive manufacturing technology, I have had a great time conducting research, but not without daily challenges. Through the research portion of graduation project I have encountered many challenges and have utilized the resources around me to overcome such obstacles, thereby furthering my learning as I face hardship. Starting with the initial research for my project, I accessed library databases to find scholarly articles about additive manufacturing technology and education. This became very challenging for me because the additive manufacturing field is rapidly changing, resulting

I took this course this semester because I needed a Mixed course and the previous course I was taking was a college course. Throughout this semester I had how to be more efficient in InDesign and Photoshop as my ability to use the programs were not that good; I had basic knowledge of the programs.

Every moment in my life has impacted me and shown me how I should run my classroom. Spending many years struggling in school, no one helping me or trying to figure out what is best for me to get the best education I can showed me what I do not want for my students. This struggle has shown me that every student is different and has a different way of learning. This allows me to learn my students strengths and weaknesses and play on them to help them receive the education they deserve and succeed. Being exposed to so many different people and cultures through travel and attending an international school has allowed me to see how other people live and work and given me insight to other cultures and how to be sensitive to their culture and traditions

The purpose of this memo reflect on the semester in this course as a whole. It will discuss how I met at least 3 of the course goals in this class, how the class contributed to my professional, academic, and personal goals, and how this course helped me grow as a writer.

As the last year of my college career starts dwindling away, I have been contemplating some of the many things that I would want to implement or not implement in my future class. One of the topics that I have been pondering over is student homework. I have been asking myself should I have assigned homework for my students or not?

I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the
