thlog week 7

Journal week 7

It week was very rough, having a final draft due for this class and two midterms, I was incredibly overwhelmed. But the good thing is that it’s over and onto week 8 we begin. But to reflect Monday’s class consisted of the analyzing the bones of a good paper. This means the structure and the slow of the paper. A main ingredient to making a delicious paper smoothie is a good thesis because it’s the like the first refreshing sip on a hot summer day, a thesis must give the reader of what to expect. Coming into peer editing I knew that I didn’t not write following my thesis which Is totally fine because like you said “as people think more about something, their thinking changes” well something like that haha J. I feel that peer editing is usually very helpful because after reading your paper countless time and realize how much time you have put in, one might become biased. After Monday’s class I realized that I needed more evidence and most importantly reread the prompt because it does guide the paper a certain way, I felt that each question built on the other. Im usually I don’t like people reading my papers but idk this time I was feeling confident on my paper so I shared it with my brother and he gave be great feedback.

                Wednesday’s class was very different, your entire teaching style is a complete 180 from my writing 1 class. Mostly because everything is turned in and done online usually on google docs and my past professor liked hard copies and overall very old school/high school teaching style. But I like both because I feel like all the activities we do like watching Bob Ross’s painting video have a purpose rather than just busy work. I honestly didn’t think the online class would take the entire 2 hours but I was surprised it did. It’s was a good idea oppose to missing class entirely but I don’t think I would take an only course if offered because people naturally need to be pressured to do things and with online classes there distance between the individual and the material.
