The Multi-Modal Project

It taught me a lot on how to really listen to those commercials and ads on tv and better understand them. Before when I was listening to ads I really was just hearing a bunch of words but now that I know what I'm looking for they make so much more sense to me. Also I like the fact that i can pick out all the logical fallacies in the commercials now. When we first started the project i really didn't understand those but as i looked for them i realized how easy it is to see them. I also felt smarter when listening to them because of it haha. This project also made me more aware of other ways to look a subjects. I see it's important to listen to both sides of the story before deciding because everyone is really in it for themselves. It also really showed that if as a country we actually worked together we would do so much better then we

My favorite would have to have been the personal narratives. These were the easiest to write as they came only from personal experience and did not require research. Still, I worked very hard on those writings and I believe those were my best works. I tend to excel in the topics I am more interested in. I particularly liked the assignment in which I wrote about my high school experience and how it changed my life. High school has honestly been the best time of my life and I loved being able to share my experience through writing with others. I also greatly enjoyed creating an infographic, it was an interesting and unique assignment that really challenged me artistically and creatively. I made sure that used my infographic to share information and statistics on an issue that should not be taken lightly which is a tactic that I choose to use

I can say that when I was reflecting on the past semester I came to the conclusion that I did use and learn two of the main objective. The two that I used was Applying research and use writing to develop a burgeoning understanding of the genres and format common to various disciplines and Construct accurate and responsible documentation appropriate to the disciplines.

Some were first-year students like myself and others were halfway through the program. It was interesting to get to know them, their professions and experiences with distance education. Finally, this assignment required me to summarize data from excel spreadsheet, synthesize information (5.6) and effectively communicate in a variety of forms (5.7). This was not easy as all the data had to be explained in writing and typed clearly for the reader to make sense of it. Overall, this assignment taught me the skills of analyzing quantitative data, and despite the struggles with formulas, it was an excellent opportunity to practice and answer the questions and get them right some after a few attempts if not on the first

Every day I research information. Whether I am searching which stores in town sell bucket hats for homecoming week, shopping online for various items, doing an essay for school, or even looking back on a math lesson to understand how to complete my assignment. With so many things that require to research, I have gained plentiful experiences, both good and bad, in researching.

I discovered many strengths and weaknesses through this semester, especially in this latter half. For me, my most instrumental papers were the collaborative essay, my essay on circumcision, and the research essay. These really highlighted some key ideas for me on things I needed to work on or had down already.

Furthermore, in the second semester we also had a research assignment. Within this assignment, we had to create an auto bibliography of our resources. This was great, because it helped me know how to properly cite a resource. Knowing how to cite in APA format, was beneficial for my progression to reach goal #4 and my other courses. For example, if the course did not cover how to properly cite in APA format, I would have incorrectly cite resources for other class assignments as well. With the knowledge of how to properly cite in APA format, it will be a great use in my future college

The easiest part of this project was finishing my informational overview essay because as soon as I got my research together and got past my introduction, everything started flowing out of head into the paper. The most challenging part of this project was finishing my creative fiction essay because I had a lot of writer's block when it came to concluding my story and adding detail.

An assignment that I liked was when we had to do the persuasive speech. I really liked that assignment because I chose a topic that I really enjoyed and and also felt comfortable talking about it with other people. Because I liked the topic I was doing research on, I did not procrastinate like I usually do with other assignments. Through this assignment I also got to feel

When asked to describe a course assignment that has had the most impact on me, I would have to say it was my Honors English 102 research project on polyamory. The project gave me an opportunity to use my writing and research skills to gain insight into a topic that many people in the U.S. find taboo. I started my college career with an interest in psychology, and the liberal arts program stresses the understanding of sociology. The polyamory research paper was the first assignment where I had the opportunity to combine research and writing skills together with psychology and sociology to delve into what polyamory is, why it is considered unacceptable, and how those involved in polyamorous relationships deal with it on a daily basis, both

My favorite assignment was paper number three, which was about norm violations. This was my favorite assignment because I was able to perform an activity of cutting my toenails in two separate restaurants. I would not do this activity if it were not for this assignment. Therefore, this assignment gave me an excuse to make my friends and boyfriend uncomfortable while performing my assignment.

I learned how to write an academic book review. This for me was one of the more complicated portions of this project. I’ve never been introduced to one until this class, so it was a new concept

During the second semester, I had a favorite and least favorite project. My favorite was the song presentation. It was something I really enjoyed because I love music and being able to do a project on something I love is so much fun. I enjoyed it because I got to find literary devices, establish tone and theme, and find parts in the song to back up my claims. I really enjoy finding literary devices, whether it’s in a song or poetry, and it is one of my favorite things to do in English. I also liked finding the tone and theme. The theme is always fun to find because there are normally so many possibilities and you get to try to find one that fits the best. The project that I liked the least was the persuasive outline. I didn’t have a problem with it as I was doing the project, and I actually found it rather interesting, but I had to present it in front of the class. Presenting things in front of the class is my least favorite thing to do. I enjoy most of the projects up until the point where I step in front of the class. I think I have earned and A or a B this semester. I know most of the material and I that feel I can use it appropriately. After all of the essays and projects this year I feel that I have gained so much knowledge in English and I think

During this semester, I have learned a great deal about my own writing, and writing in general. One of the main takeaways from this course for me was how to break down the intricate process of writing papers. In addition, I developed viable skills regarding going into more in-depth detail during each step of the writing process. I enjoyed having the freedom to write about a topic that I was able to choose. This allowed me to research and write about something that actually interested me immensely. Having to work with one topic for the entire semester taught me how to find reliable resources and how to pick out the essential research from each article.

This allowed me to write more extensively on the topic I had chosen which in turn helped expand the size of my research paper. I received a B on my final draft; the first passing grade I have ever received on a research paper. I am very satisfied with my grade.
