Reflective Letter
Dear Grandma,
Class is going very well sometimes I feel my mind is slipping during class which I don't find that it's a problem but I feel it's not like the beginning of the year when we would have a long conversations and it would drag out at me I understand we need to get stuff done but I really think really got the class working up in the morning was it a conversation I may know we can have it every day because we have it every day will never get anything done but I mean the professor does a good job at trying to keep everyone on track with their work I don't get the work done but you know some classes have people like that. I think the professors way teaching is good because he didn't want to stand there and lecture us but rather listen to us and wants us to do the talking that we get our opinions out. I think the website as a good way to go as far as teaching why because it's a new way of learning it is also what see what we can do with today's technology. The blog posts I liked was the native and non-native place why because I really dig it really I have the dig deep to find out where you are in this big universe. The bonus blog about the truth was my best masterpiece so far because it lets me tell my opinion about a subject and people can only argue with it if it posted. At the beginning of the semester I was introduced to a new type of writing the writing was showing and telling and it’s easy to understand but hard to put down on to paper because it has to be the true and it can’t be made up. The telling part is easy because we do it all the time in our writings. As showing details is harder because it paints a picture in your mind of an event or situation. So I’m back to expand on my pervious post this time with more details and adventures. The final major assignment for the semester was an I-Search paper in which we chose a topic and researched. We had class discussions about how to structure the essay and how not to plagiarize someone else’s work. My topic was drilling for oil/natural gases and how it corrupts the environment, society and its involvement in politics but there were others for the education system police brutality and so on and so forth. This essay had a lot of procuration which is not good but I still got it done and turned the drafts in on time still have to have my dad look at it so it is correct and accurate. I mean it’s in the final stages of development there are a few thing that need to be fixed and added to meet the requirements of the paper itself. For the most part it is looking pretty good. To be honest I am going to miss Comp100 a lot more then I would have thought. Maybe it’s because it was a style of teaching that worked best because the professor was cool always cheerful and he wanted to hear and discuss not just on the material ,but on our lives and how we were doing. It felt great that we were encouraged to speak our mind then rather just censer out information. We were also encouraged to write what was on our minds at the time of the assignment and not to worry about getting stressed but to relax and just write. It was great class and I will never forget how serious hunter got during the discussions and how open minded people were. It sort of put a little bit of faith back into me and I hope next semester will be the same really going to miss this class a lot. This is where we all must take a bow and head off stage for the last time.
