My progress towards active reading, critical reading, and creating informal reading responses has grown substantially throughout the semester. I have learned that to be an active reader, I need to have a highlighter and pen handy so I can mark up the text. To be a critical reader, I need to think thoroughly and ask … [Read more…]
Marking up my peers first draft of our first paper was very nerve-racking to me. I felt like if I did not give them good comments, they would fail and it would be my fault or I would give them a bad comment and they would think that I was not smart. Peer reviewing has … [Read more…]

One example where I have applied peer review to work in another course at UNE is in my medicine and the media class. I specifically used the Barclay’s quote system that we use in class. To do this I wrote “intro to quote”, “quote”, and “explanation of quote”. If they don’t have an intro or … [Read more…]
One specific example of using some aspect of the drafting process that we’ve learned in so far that I used in another class was used in my Medicine and the Media class. Medicine and the Media is my explor class, it requires a lot of reading. We read about 160 pages a week of the … [Read more…]
At the beginning of this semester, I was not the strongest writer. I used to focus on quantity over quality, because my high school teachers were very adamant about length requirements. I believe that I was not a strong writer because I was not ver good at annotating. I was never sure what to write, … [Read more…]
One course that I have used my active reading skills in that is not English, is Medicine in the Media, which is the explor credit I needed to take. In this class we read 4 books, currently we have finished two and are beginning the third this week. Every Thursday we are quizzed on about … [Read more…]
My happiness paper was a reflection on what I believe brings happiness to life. Everyone had differing opinions, personally I believe that good relationships and exercise allow a life of fulfillment. I spoke personally about my family and my friends, to connect with the authors and their beliefs/research on happiness. In the long run, I … [Read more…]

After working on my essay during the weekend, I noticed that I needed to make some global changes to my technology essay. My first global change was becoming aware that I needed to incorporate more than one author into my body paragraphs, I believe that is partially where I struggled on our last essay. Therefore, … [Read more…]
