...STAYING ON COURSE Kendra Harvey Pre 100 sect. 7116 October 12, 2013 Kendra Harvey Pre 100 Sect. 7116 12 October 2013 STAYING ON COURSE Enrolling in college at 26 years old was very intimidating to me. Although I graduated from high school, I have a real problem with self confidence. Keeping up with my classmates from high school on social media sites, I became discouraged and depressed from seeing how successful some of them had become. I often wondered why I haven’t become successful. Why was I made to be a failure? Then it dawned on me that I, myself was my own problem. At different points in my life I’ve often given up when I was faced with a challenge. I always took interest in the healthcare field, and I pursued and completed a certification in nursing. When certain circumstances caused for me to have to go back to school to recertify, instead of pressing on I choose defeat. My greatest obstacles now are my children, for I don’t have a strong support system and because of this I have allowed myself to be defeated by other obstacles in life. When I got into college, my biggest challenge was staying focused and motivated. I continued to stay out late, I would put off assignments until the last minute, I did cram study sessions, I was lazy all the time and couldn’t concentrate, and I missed classes and fell behind on home assignments. This caused a major problem for me like receiving failing grades. I blamed everything and...

...The Writing Center Book Reviews Like 17 people like this. What this handout is about This handout will help you write a book review, a report or essay that offers a critical perspective on a text. It offers a process and suggests some strategies for writing book reviews. What is a review? A review is a critical evaluation of a text, event, object, or phenomenon. Reviews can consider books, articles, entire genres or fields of literature, architecture, art, fashion, restaurants, policies, exhibitions, performances, and many other forms. This handout will focus on book reviews. Above all, a review makes an argument. The most important element of a review is that it is a commentary, not merely a summary. It allows you to enter into dialogue and discussion with the work’s creator and with other audiences. You can offer agreement or disagreement and identify where you find the work exemplary or deficient in its knowledge, judgments, or organization. You should clearly state your opinion of the work in question, and that statement will probably resemble other types of academic writing, with a thesis statement, supporting body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Typically, reviews are brief. In newspapers and academic journals, they rarely exceed 1000 words, although you may encounter lengthier assignments and extended commentaries. In either case, reviews need to be succinct. While they vary in tone, subject, and style, they share some common features: First...

...be UNDER the desk. Required materials: Charged tablet, charged back-up battery, tablet pen, red pens, pencils, blue or black pens, binder Homework expectations: You will have a variety of different homework assignments. It is imperative that you check RenWeb on a consistent basis, as well as write down the homework from the board every day. Most of the assignments will be completed on your tablet. Many assignments will be graded together in class, and then uploaded to Moodle. Late policy: Daily homework will not be accepted late. If homework is not turned in on the day it is due it will receive a zero. The first zero will result in an email sent to your parents. The second zero will result in a referral to a dean. For projects, book reports, and for the research paper the late policy is a little different than the daily homework policy. The first day that it is late it will get 10% taken off of its overall grade earned. For the second day that it is late it will get 20% taken off of the overall grade earned. On the third day that it is late 30% of the grade will be taken off of its overall grade earned. It will receive a zero if it is not turned in after the third day. Absence policy: You are responsible for completing all work that they have missed. You will have as many days as you have missed to complete the work. Missed quizzes or tests will be made up on the day the you return to school. It is your...

...Writing a Book Report Summary: This resource discusses book reports and how to write them. Contributors: Purdue OWL (owl.English.purdue.edu) Book reports are informative reports that discuss a book from an objective stance. They are similar to book reviews but focus more on a summary of the work than an evaluation of it. Book reports commonly describe what happens in a work; their focus is primarily on giving an account of the major plot, characters, thesis, and/or main idea of the work. Most often, book reports range from 250 to 500 words. Before You Read Before you begin to read, consider what types of things you will need to write your book report. First, you will need to get some basic information from the book: • Author • Title • Publisher location, name of publisher, year published • Number of Pages You can either begin your report with some sort of citation, or you can incorporate some of these items into the report itself. Next, try to answer the following questions to get you started thinking about the book: • Author: Who is the author? Have you read any other works by this author? • Genre: What type of book is this: fiction, nonfiction, biography, etc.? What types of people would like to read this kind of book? Do you typically read these kinds of books? Do you like them? • Title: What does the title do for you? Does it spark your interest? Does it fit well with the text of the book? • Pictures/Book Jacket/Cover/Printing:...

...Thing(ness) 1. Read this (this thing 1 cm. below) P. J. O’Rourke, the political satirist, reviews in this issue a new book about Starbucks. He told us, in an e-mail exchange, how he brews his own reviews: “I read something I’m reviewing the same way I read other things except more so. That is, I already keep a commonplace book (a file folder, really) for quotations, ideas, information, etc. If I’m going to write a review I mark the work for myself, but besides underlining what interests me I also underline what — as far as I can tell — interested the author. By the time I’m done I have an outline for the review. All I have to do is figure out a smart-aleck lead sentence and a wiseacre ending.”[1] 2. Then read the “How to write a Book Review” article on the very next page. Yes, it is a bit long but the information is really quite good. 3. Over the week go to www.salon.com or to http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books read at least five reviews and then divide them into good and bad reviews. Think about the specific qualities that define the better ones. The article from step two of this process will be helpful at this point. At the end of the day a good book review sees an interesting pattern or spins your understanding of the book in a new and delightful way…and importantly is enjoyable to read (as a writer you need to have fun savaging the book, exploring it, dwelling on it, falling in love with it, etc.). Finally remember that your job is to convince a reader of the...

...attentive practice of thoughtfulness, and caring attunements is extended” (Munhall, 1989). Qualitative research is able to be present with not only social research but experimental, linguistic, and cultural context research. It helps us study the human experience. Subcategories of these research methods will be discussed in comparison to sociology and cultural anthropology. When researching a hypothesis there is a research approach catered to each research project. The research process itself involves “defining the problem, reviewing previous research on the topic, developing one or more hypotheses, determining the research design, defining the sample and collecting data, analyzing and interpreting the data, and finally, preparing the research report” (Tischler, 2011). Part of designing a research project, you must decide what methods to...
