Assignment #15- Final Reflection

Referring back to my very first wall post i only took the class because my adviser recommanded it to me to improve my writing skills. then when I reread my seventh wall post I was becoming a better writer and noticing my problems in writing and doing something about them. I feel I'm close to achieve my goal as becoming a better writer.I wanted to achieve my goal as becoming a good writer. I also feel I have a long ways to go before I can call myself a good writer. know I would change my goal because out of everything I learn I know at the end of the day I'm not finish with writing. if I keep at it I would probable be able to write a whole paper without help. My strength is my reason/ideas I come up with to support my topic. my weakness is my conclusion and my thesis. I need to work on them a little more.

Assignment #14- Planning for Revisions

      I am going to rewrite the very last paper we wrote. the one when we the class had a chance to pick our own topic and write about it. the topic I pick is called "by going to college are you guaranteed the lifestyle you see in movies. My 3 strength is the reason/ideas I used in my paper. My conclusion I think I did a great job on, since I'm not very in ending a paper. my last strength is the way compare the topic to my personal experience. My 3 weakness is first I need to clarify/specific my topic question. secondly I need to work on my thesis a little more. make my thesis more clear so when someone read it they know right off the top that, that's my thesis. last I need to tell why my ideas/reason relate to my thesis.

assignment #13

I analysis this online article about "should college athletes students get paid". That a good topic and can easy be sum up in a few page.  I notice a lot of things she forgot to mention. She told both side of the argument. she told what why most people feel like college athlete shouldn't get paid and why people feel they should get paid but not once did she mention how she felt. she never picked a side to argument for or against. When i start writing my paper I am going to start off like she did by telling the affect part but then twist it up and put with side I agree with and details falling my opinion. She also didn't give details or hint to with side she agree with, she just kept on writing. she ended the paper by saying both side have good arguments. When writing my paper I will make sure I state my argument and conclude my paper with good reasons why you should come to my side of the argument.

assignment #12

  • Topic: is going to college as stressful as everyone make it seems?
  • Thesis: college is as stressful as everyone make it seem because its a whole different ball game than high school was and new environment.
  • compelling argument: I say college is stressful because everything so different than high school. you have to worry about work, financial aid, grades, attendance, books, money, 5-10 page papers,research projects, new environment, loans, life getting real and not even saying the things you have to do at home and/or work. This is compelling because it have most things college students have to worry about, things they stress over or should be stressing about.
  • weak argument: That its important you go to college because its hard to get a good paying job without college and make something better of your self. This is weak because i am considering or mentioning the other side of the argument. when i mention this i can also put out there that it cost a fortunate to go to college and if your don't spend your time wisely it would be a waste of your time and money.
