Writing Assignment Analysis

Moving from problems to solutions requires critical thinking skills. We confront problems in every aspect of our lives. We deal with them at school in the form of math equations, science problems, etc. We also deal with them at work in the form of finding better or new ways in performing certain aspects of our jobs. Lastly we have to deal with personal problems.

This week involved some serious reading. Not only did I cover, this weeks reading assignment, I also reread all the previous chapters. This was perhaps over-kill but it should position me well in the last week prior to the finals. Surprisingly the most difficult sections to read was from the prior two weeks. I might have mentioned in my last journal that I found the concepts greasy and difficult to hold onto. It appears they slipped my mind and had to be relearned. This time the material appears to have stuck and hopefully will remain there, at least until the final exam.

In a writing exercise exploring different parts of myself, I learned that I am trying my best to be a family man while trying to have time for myself to relax and unwind. I try my best to be as good of a father as possible. I spend as much time with my wife and daughter as I can, even though school and work keeps me from spending most of my time with them. I try to take them out and have as much fun and family time as we can on my days off. Yet, at the same time, I enjoy doing things on my own away from my family. I believe that everyone deserves a break from responsibility sometimes, as long as it is within reason. I go out and play Magic the Gathering with my friends once a week in the evenings to unwind after a stressful day at work

The writer’s thesis is that if you write nasty things about someone on the internet, you must presume that your words will find their target, and their target will find you. I believe that this thesis means that don’t write anything online about somebody that you don’t want them to hear about. This is proven in the text because the author is trying to teach the lesson to prevent the misfortune of what occurred to the Birchmount Park Collegiate students.

Week two and I found the narrative writing assignment enlightening. The profound connection, flexibility and knowledge I acquire while writing the essay  was intuitive. Perhaps, the connection to the writing was from the personal experience rather than from a topic. Writing from a perspective of fullness and a clear conscious has brought my writing  and emotion abundantly structured. Such as having the ability to express oneself through emotions intellectually instead of incoherent babble. Although, I enjoy writing, this assignment allowed creative flow and the flexibility to transition from different angles of the thought process and emotional balance. However, writing  what you know and enjoy provides a whole new diverseness to the capabilities

The letter writing activity was a very new experience for me in terms of academic writing. Not only has it been an extremely long time since I have written an actual letter that needed postage, but it was also the first time that I had written in this type of genre for a school assignment. For this assignment we needed to write a letter to a loved one from home about our college experience so far. It was different from the other assignments that we have done in this class because we each had our own personal connection with the audience. We knew exactly who was going to be reading this letter and could therefore cater the writing and style to what the person would prefer/enjoy. Personally, in my letter I was able to make references to certain

What was the background for the study? That is, what previous knowledge did the author describe as a foundation for the study in the “review of related literature?”

When I write an assignment, from a simple analysis to a research paper, I always start with writing an outline. The outline helps me with the flow of my writing and reminds me where my work will take me. The outline keeps me organized in my thoughts and aids in the comprehension of my writing; it will start out very broad and eventually becomes very specific so the essay is easier to write. I have gotten into the habit of writing outlines when I would write any assignment during my sophomore year of high school. My teacher would require us to write outlines for major writing assignments which developed my habit to write an outline for any assignment. After the outline, I begin writing the assignment and edit while I write. I do this by briefly

Writing on the college level can be difficult and it require focus organization and discipline. Before starting out a student needs to have a clear focus on their chosen topic. One should never be too, always be specific. College writing assignments requires students to support their points with evidence. To most effectively present an idea it is important that its support be organized adequately. While many students tend to rattle off their evidence at the start. A topic should be introduced first and a claim should be made to the reader. That claim is then supported with specific evidence. Students should be mindful not to let evidence speak for itself it is important to explain everything to the reader. This is how a college writing assignment

The assignment that I chose to create an essay about my passion. For this assignment I was required to write about anything that I was passionate about. Mr. Wilcox needed me to write a two minute essay that I could present in front of my peers. The expectation was to memorize at least half of the speech and be able to express it clearly in front of the class. This assignment was troublesome for me than my other assignments that I was assigned in this class. What made this assignment troublesome was that I had to talk in front of my peers. I'm not use to discussing in front of a crowd therefore, this assignment was a burden for me. The whole point of this assignment was to get me used to discussing in front of crowds. The essay had to be two minutes, occupy up to 300 to 650 words, and obtain five paragraphs. To get an A I would have to write five paragraphs and present it clearly with eye contact in front of the class.

While working on this assignment my eyes were opened. Since I was allowed to use this as an assignment for my English class I was also able to see each of these books through my students' eyes. I asked the students to write a reflective journal after we had all completed these book reviews. In their reflections they were asked to write whether they felt these books would have affected their life differently if they had read them as a child. Although their responses were not as introspective as I would have liked, every single one said these books would have a positive impact on the reader. I have to agree, I think that ignorance can breed fear. The more awareness and knowledge people have about disabilities the less they need to be

The writing exercise my professor gave had given the class yesterday was amazing. I was tasked to edit one of his old student's paper. He said it was probably from two years ago. From the time I sat down with the five paragraphs of garbage, It took me at least forty five minutes to catalog all the errors. Then I thought to myself, "How in the bloody hell did this person graduate high school?!"

The primary concern I had in submitting my first assignment was formulating my essay into the concise orderly narrative academic style.

The one thing I learned from this assignment is how important a portfolio can be. If you have a very well put-together portfolio, your chances of getting a job on campus are increased. This makes a lot of sense to me because if I was looking for employees for my company, I would want to make sure I am hiring the best ones. I was fascinated by the idea of uploading our Strengths finder report, and an assignment that I have pride in. This assignment really allowed me to show others what I am truly capable of.

I joined at the SRS consulting Engineers Inc. on 1st October 2015 as a Scientist. The position was advertised as an Aquatic Biologist (yearly: min. $32000 max. $40000, Job bank on 2015-08-18) and I applied for this position, but the company hired me as a scientist, higher position, and the salary range was $21000 - $26000/year, which was different than advertised one. Since the position was different and salary was low from the advertised position, I noticed to the Managing Principal (Phil Fung) on my first day of joining regarding this matter. I also told him, for working as a scientist, I would need a well-equipped lab as well as a good compensation for me. However, after several
