Reading Assignment

How should the needs and expectations of your reader affect the structure of your writing? Why does it matter?

First and foremost writing has always been a bit of a challenge for me. My writing in high school was mostly regarding essays about a book I was assigned to read and analyze. I've noticed that there's a difference between my writing in high school and the essays i've wrote so far in college. My writing in college seems to be far more formal and includes complex wording. My writing in college tends to be longer than most essays i wrote in high school and far more detailed.

Think about your experiences of writing at college. Which types of assignments have you found helpful in strengthening your writing skills? Where do you want to improve your writing? What’s the most useful advice you’re received that’s helped you improve your writing. Be as specific as possible.

Writing properly can be very challenging for a new student embarking on being a scholarly, professional writer. Before starting assignments, it is important to read very broadly about the main topics of the assignment, and also read the specific chapters listed in the assignment, because they will guide a student’s thoughts in developing a paper.

This week, the most difficult part of the reading assignment was section 1.7 Transformations. While the beginning was easy enough for me to follow I soon started to become bogged down with the number of types. I counted seven definitions in the chapter, all rather long, that included vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, reflections, vertical scalings, horizontal scalings and transformations. I read the entire section at least five times and the examples, especially towards the end of the section, a few times more before understanding it well enough to at-tempt the exercises. The examples were really good and had an artistic quality about them which I found interesting. Thinking back on the reading it was the tables themselves that con-fused me and which I needed to follow close, and with greater thought, to really understand. Even though there’re meant to further comprehension, which after careful following they do, it took me a few read overs. Sometimes getting lost in all the x, (x,f(x)), f(x), g(x) = f(2x), etc.. overwhelmed me and I had to move forward and come back to it later. I will give credit as the section was well explained well by the authors.

I don't really know what to discuss here so this may not be the best discussion assignment you've ever seen. I've obviously been falling behind on some of my assignments, but now I have time to actually work on iSchool, so my grade should go up soon hopefully. I've been trying to improve my grade recently by doing all of the work I missed, so that should all be sent to you by the end of this weekend. I honestly only took this class so I could get ahead and start English 5-6 next year, rather than English 3-4 since I'm hoping to have almost all my credits by senior year, so I'll start working harder soon. I already talked to my counselor about this, but I'm wondering if there's a way that once I finish English 3, I can immediately start English

Your task is to read actively with the goal of compiling a thorough record of passages from the two texts you have been assigned which relate to specific themes/motifs provided to you by me. You will also provide accurate citation information along with some analysis of how the passage relates/treats its corresponding theme/motif. Your goal is to provide insight not simply to state the obvious. I have provided a sample which models the type of response I expect to receive from you. This is due on the FIRST DAY OF CLASS (both in hard copy form and submitted to turnitin.com) and will serve as an invaluable aide in our class discussions as well as in the composition of your first paper.
