...I could travel to a different country each day and spend my life going around the world but it will not have any impact unless I see these places with an open mind. I cannot let what I already know interfere with what I am about to experience. While traveling I need to see things from a new perspective and gain new knowledge in order to truly experience this Semester at Sea program. Spending a semester at sea and in various countries would definitely give me a new perspective on education and life around the globe. There is no way that I would be able to hold on to my old perspectives of life after experiencing this magnificent journey. My biggest passion in life has always been caring for marine life and everyday I learn something new. Throughout...

...Contemporary World Issues Biography Paper Boaz 3B By: Jerome Bircumshaw Even to this day some people believe women are not capable of achieving what the male can do. However one women in 1928 changed the image of the face of women forever. Soon to be an American aviator, Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. She was the daughter of a successful railroad attorney. Because of her father’s occupation, Amelia spent her childhood growing up in many different towns. Her fascination for adventure and thrill seeking started off at a young age where Amelia and her big sister Muriel decided one day that they wanted to make a plane. There was a lack in material, so they decided to make a rollercoaster instead. Even though neither one of the girls knew how to make a roller coaster, they got some wood from an old wooden fence they tore down. First, they made the “car” by placing the bottoms of roller skates under a big piece of wood and the rest of the wood was used to make a slide that went from the top of a woodshed to the ground. With Amelia and her bravery, she went first and rolled quickly down the unstable slide. The “car” hit the ground and Amelia bounced into the air and turned into a somersault, luckily escaping injury. Years after the family moved to Des Moines, Iowa where they attended a state fair. That is when Amelia got to see her first airplane which did not impress Amelia. The airplane was made of wood...

...As I progress through this semester, I have begun to establish goals for myself to make the school year successful. By setting goals, I can turn a challenging semester into one that runs smoothly and feels less complicated. Although some goals have obstacles, I try my best to work hard and challenge myself. By challenging myself, I can conquer the goals I set. I have many goals, but some have more importance than others. My semester goals include making good grades, making new friends, and getting involved in extracurricular activities. My main goal this semester is to make good grades. Grades are definitely the most important factor in my life at school. I strive to do my best to retain as much information as possible. Grades determine many things, such as an average for a class or whether one can get into a certain college. Making good grades challenges me because some classes are more difficult than others. For example, I struggle with English and pre-calculus more than anything. I have to write many essays for English; therefore, I try to work on my writing skills so that I...

...Latoya Gregory Instructor Woodard ENG-111 FGT04 01/07/2013 The Semester My Hand Almost Fell Off The most recent experience I had with writing was last semester, in my English 090 class. My teacher’s name was Josh Lane, but the class just called him Josh. I went into the course with the assumption that I would only have to compose simple paragraph papers while also learning the ropes of grammatical writing. I was sadly mistaken. Through the semester Josh gave the class five writing assignments. They ranged from three to five pages long. Out of all the writing assignments I received my favorite was a four page paper I had to write an allegory of myself. My least favorite was a five page paper the whole class had to write. About mid semester, when my hand only had a tingle, Josh lectured about Plato’s “A Allegory of the Cave.” Thus giving me my next challenging task he had in store. I had to compose an allegory of myself while explaining the concept of the Plato’s allegory. I had to dissect the symbolism in Plato’s allegory and prove how it coincided with my own allegory. What made this objective so interesting, yet so strenuous was the fact that my allegory had to be based upon a difficult time I have had in my life. My essay was littered with very detailed descriptors of my dreadful situation and Plato’s allegory. That is why this particular essay was my favorite. I8 was able to take a seemingly arduous task and break it down, in my own words, so that a reader would be able...

...Upon further review of my past papers, I found some small grammatical errors that needed to be edited. In my unit one paper, there were a few errors that you had marked. I fixed those oversights then continued on with my revisions. In the second paragraph, I moved a comment to after a citation section in order to back up the information with my own thoughts as I had learned a little further in the semester. Another change I had made was to change a word that was repeated multiple times in a sentence. I also revised unit twos paper. I had received a perfect score on my paper, but upon rereading, I noticed a few things that I felt should be changed. They were not big changes, but I believe the modifications helped the information flow better than it had originally. One change I had made was to change “get rid of” to “eliminate.” The main thing I learned to apply this semester was to avoid using many words when only one is needed. This was my first semester in a real school situation, so I was unsure on how well I would do. I would say that I am most proud of my grades that I have received on my papers. I feel like I worked hard on all of my papers and I am glad my hard work paid off. I learned a lot about the whole writing process and feel as if I applied it all in my writing. I really enjoyed writing the ethnographic analysis essay. I originally was not looking forward to it because of the observation time and the length of the paper. After I had chosen a topic...

...involve partaking in discussions in class and through our essays and research. As such, we must be able to listen and read not only for understanding but also for application. We need to first understand what is being said and then figure out how to either respond or apply what we’ve heard. Note: During the course of the semester we might discuss controversial topics in class. While I expect some (most or all) of us will feel strongly about certain issues, we need to treat each other respect even if we disagree. Be careful with the words you choose and your delivery. We don’t have to agree but we do have to treat each other with respect. Objectives * Students will be familiar with writing for different audiences. Part of the UHWO GLOs (General Learning Outcomes) requires students to effectively communicate information for an intended audience. The UHWO catalogue explains that part of being able to effectively communicate information will necessitate utilizing different type of information literacy. * We will become familiar with using primary and secondary texts in our research papers. This course will ready students for their future term papers as they continue their journey at UHWO. * Students will learn the...

...Throughout the first half of the semester, I’ve learned a handful of useful things for the future in terms of writing. From the beginning of this class, I’ve been drenched in work online and in class. From doing reflections on the class everyday to the more recent research paper the class has been working on. The most helpful things that I learned in this class that can possibly be used in the future are the vocabulary words, the research paper, and the class reflections. The more helpful out of the things learned in this class was the vocabulary that we have done. Vocabulary is a key component in communication and writing. I had to look up and define ten words as an assignment for the class and now I can use those ten words in future communications or writing assignments. Not only that, the vocabulary that we have done and learned can be used overall in life. By overall in life, I mean with possibilities of job/career opportunities, school, or just having a nice conversation with someone....

...I have been a student at California State University Channel Islands (CI) for 5 semesters, and over the course of my stay I have grown and learned more that I thought possible. I came to this school from Moorpark Community College already knowing that I wanted to be an English teacher; I had taken numerous English courses and though I knew exactly what I was headed for-was I ever wrong. Going through the English program has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me how to be me. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don't know. Most importantly I have learned how important literature and language are. When I started at CI, I thought I was going to spend the next 3 years reading classics, discussing them and then writing about them. That was what I did in community college English courses, so I didn't think it would be much different here. On the surface, to an outsider, I am sure that this is what it appears that C.I. English majors do. In most all my classes I did read, discuss, and write papers; however, I quickly found out that that there was so much more to it. One specific experience I had while at C.I. really shows how integrated this learning is. Instead of writing a paper for my final project in Perspectives of Multicultural Literature (ENGL 449), I decided with a friend to venture to an Indian reservation and compare it to a book we read...

...Reflection Paper Assignments Due Dates: March 20, April 3, May 1 Overview These reflection papers are the chance for you to review your recent journal entries (or the sum total, if that helps) and to synthesize some thread of thinking or learning that you find in there. You might build on a single entry or on something bridging multiple entries, but the point is to capture something that you are learning. We expect the paper to have some over-arching, coherent argument so that it is not simply a string of thoughts. A string of thoughts is fine for your journal entries, but here we do want some synthesis. You should not spend time summarizing your activities, unless that is essential for your argument. Grading Criteria The criteria we will use to evaluate the papers are listed below. Note that you do not have to address all of these criteria in one paper. We want you to address all of them over the course of the semester, but any single paper can focus on only one or two of these. Regardless of what you choose to write your reflection synthesis on, your paper must demonstrate clear, coherent argumentation. 1. Expression of Learning 2. Discussion and/or synthesis of course readings 3. Reflection on assumptions and cultural frames of reference 4. Connection to proposal process Word Count The reflection papers, except for the final one, should be at least 500 words, but not a lot longer than that. The final paper should be around...

...It is only at the end of the semester, after you have made mistakes and learned from them, that you are able to reflect back and see how much you have grown from the beginning of the semester. As I reflect on my work in your English 130 class, I am able to see much more clearly now just how much I have improved as a writer. I have learned to notice my strengths as well as my weaknesses and to learn from them. During the semester, I have engaged in peer edits which have helped me to realize some of weaknesses through reviewing other’s works and having my own works reviewed. My portfolio includes “Bermudas,” “The Tempest and Source Material,” “Heart of Darkness and Postcolonial Criticism,” my annotated bibliography for my research paper and my research paper....

...Kali Mitchell English 1101 Professor Elliott 7 December 2012 Reflective Final Essay This first semester of my freshman has been a very interesting trip. I have learned so much in the short amount of time that I have spent here at Kennesaw State University. I feel as if I have grown, not only as a student, but as a person as well. I have met many new people, made many new friends, and learned many new things especially in my English 1101 class. I thought I knew everything there was to know about writing when I came in on my first day, but I was very wrong. My professor assured me that there is much more to writing than just putting words down on paper. Knowing all of this, I have now learned how to improve on my writing skills, how to write better grammatically correct sentences, incorporate quotes and research and give as well as get criticism. When I came into this semester as a freshman I was very confident in the quality of my writing. However, my self-esteem was soon crushed shortly thereafter. Even though my writing skills had been very good compared to my classmates in high school, at the university level they were just average. After hearing about the on average grades students get in professor Elliott’s class, I knew I had a lot of work to do to receive an A on a paper. I had to do something quick to learn how improve on my writing skills. With the help of my teacher, she made us a read a variety of articles that were very interesting, yet also very insightful...

...Throughout the course in my letters and feedback, I have had many comma splice comments. I want to be able to recognize those when I am proof reading my own paper. Another area I want to improve on, is putting my ideas that are in my head on paper in a way that it makes sense. I have so much to say, but sometimes struggle on the “right” way to say it so that the reader understands what I am talking about. I have gotten better at organizing my paper so that it flows and make more sense, but it is still something I want to work on. I want to be able to add better transitions in my paper, so that my ideas don’t come to an abrupt end with no conclusion, which is something I noticed in my culture assumption essay. Improvements in my Reading Throughout the coursework I have sharpened my critical analysis skills. I have glanced back at some of my chapter summary writing assignments and noticed how my analysis have evolve. I have better been able to relate and find my own experience in a writing or book. I was able to connect with some of the points Robert Putnam stated on a personal level. Throughout high school, and even in college, I just read my book to complete assignments, not really taking the time to consider how it may connect with my life. This is something I did this semester with Robert Putnam’s book, “Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis”. Areas to improve in my...

...essay, Unresolved Solutions, I had many instances of informal writing. I included a lot of first person statements such as, “ But, if boys were hunting you and trying to kill you, would you really want to help them?” The overuse of “you” is forbidden in college level writing. Also in this essay, I did not know of MLA format and I didn't use it. Since then i’ve learned what it is and how to use it. In my in class essay, Increasing Awareness, the organization of my information was the main issue. Also, I used a lot of pointless information and went off track constantly. This was definitely not one of my better writings. We had a time limit and I let that stress get to me and I rushed my paper. That is something I need to learn how to deal with before the AP language final test. In our rhetorical paper we had to write, I wrote mine on Herb Brooks’ speech, You were born for this. I felt very strong about this topic and how to analyze it. I did a great job on getting the true message behind this speech and the emotional appeals throughout. Finally, in my documentary project, Unhappy Valley, I really focused on my use of vocabulary and strong verbs. I also improved the organization of my paragraphs, scoring in the 7-9 very strong range. But, it was brought up that my paragraphs were too long, and that I was adding pointless information. Overall in this essay I was proud of the way it was wrote it but was still unsatisfied with my grade and will continue to push myself to improve...
