Something that I really enjoyed about English 101 with Professor Swinson was how organized she is. Professor Swinson always laid out what we were doing for the week and even the entire semester. She always let us know what was going to be expected of us and how we can find/manage the time to do it. However, I think the grading weight system could be improved. I had some unfortunate circumstances while one of our projects was in it’s prime of being composed and submitted. Due to me not performing well on one of the projects, my grade is going to suffer even though I performed well on the other projects. Overall, this course is a great first year class for freshman as they transition from high school to college.

I am 100% agree that you are saying about this class and Professor Swinson. I think that professor Swinson is doing a lot of work for this class, because every class was very organized and I was surprised of professionalism of professor Swinson. My opinion that you said everything right and this course helped us a lot.

I really like our English course because it is very helpful for me and my writing and reading skills. I like that I am using this skills that I learned on this course in real life.

I think that very helpful think in this class that you are doing some work with your classmates, thanks to this I expanded my skills.

Prompt #13

I can translate my writing process into other work outside of class by applying my learned draft & revisions skills to other writing projects. For example, I have to write a letter to a future student and give them advice about getting through their first semester for my UNI class. Im planning on making a really bad rough draft or two, then I’m going to revise it or even have a peer review it, which we do a lot of in class.   

[danilozernoyuncw]

I think that it is a good thing that you are going to write a letter for the future students. My opinion on that you are going to write a good letter because you will use the things that we learned in our English writing and reading class.

I am using a lot of my writing skills that I learned in the other classes for example my UNI class. In my UNI class we are all doing journals about freshman year experience. I wrote a lot of paper about it. Sometimes we have a presentation where you also have to write a correct text and arguments. And second class it is religion class. I'm doing a lot of writing on the final essays, it is 3 or 4 pages. And my writing skills that I learned helping me with that a lot. I am posting a lot of ideas for the homework in my religion class and I am also using my writing skills for that. Because after that my text what I wrote looking so much better than before. I got a lot of improves in my English writing and reading class, it is helpful for the other classes and in real life.

My opinion that the most challenging assignment for me was essay "Letter to your young self" because I was working a lot on that. And this essay was at the beginning semester when I just came in United States. That was hard for me because everything in my life changed and everything was new for me. I just did not know how to write like this essays on 3 pages. But now I think that I will get a better grade because I used to do big essays like this one. I got a lot of improves on my reading and writing skills because we are working hard on that. I learned many important things how to write big essays, how to make it interesting, re-read the text, and many of the other skills.

I learned that you have to confirm your arguments because it is really important to be sure that you are right. You have to be 100% sure in your arguments if you are going to post something. If you not sure in your arguments you have to search or find more information about it. Arguments on my infographic form is from articles and world statistics. In my infographic form all arguments is looks the same like original and I did not write some random information because I do not want to promote misinformation or fake news.

It is important to evaluate your source when citing something because not everything you find on the internet (or anywhere) is true. Some sources also are biased which is not creditable when doing factual research. The most important thing from chapter 46 in my opinion is the paragraph addressing avoiding the echo chamber and fake news. Fake news is a huge issue in today’s society and I think it is important to know how to avoid it. I think this knowledge will change the way I read because I will be able to check the source and see if the article is biased. This knowledge will also help me look for articles that are reliable because I now know how to determine if a source is reliable. 

[danilozernoyuncw]

I am totally agree with that, because misinformation and fake news is really dangerous for us. A lot of people can get stress because of fake news. I agree with that thing that you have to check information or article before you are going to send it to your friends or family. Sometimes internet is helping us but sometimes internet make a lot of problems.

[danilozernoyuncw]

I really enjoyed this chapters about research methods and credible sources because now I know couple interesting and useful things for my English skills. I learned that one of the most popular thing there it is bias. Bias can help us to understand more arguments or confirm arguments. For me someone's mind it is really important because sometimes I can change my mind because of that. After this chapter I know that I have to check everything about the website and check it is confirmed information or no. Last thing what I wanted to say about this chapter is that this chapter helped me a lot because now I know how to check article Information.

My article was about misinformation and fake news and this image is one hundred percent showing how bad is misinformation in social media. Image is showing us what does it consist of misinformation. I found this image in Google when I tried to find some fake news. I think if you going to put misinformation to Google search, Google will give the fake news and this image. I think that it is very helpful image for analysis information. My opinion that this image is using ethos and this image is showing us real facts about misinformation. You can see that on this image is so many facts about misinformation and after this image people can understand how bad is Misinformation in social media. I like that this image is using real facts and I think it is really helpful for people.

In my Article Author wrote so many quotes and this quotes was really interesting for me and it is very helpful to better understand text. In my article is quotes from the life experience and basically the quotes was on right place and that is why it was very helpful for me. The most interesting quote for me was from Toni Morrison (from her essay "The Price of Wealth, The Cost of Care") I think that this quote is the most interesting in my article. For me quotes play a big role in the text because it is really big argument and that is way many people using it in their text, in my article author did everything right quotes was on right place and that is was really helpful.

One of the really important things in revision process it is that you can understand text clearly or correct your mistakes. When I am doing my essays I always do the revision process because it is really helpful for me. When ready second time i can see the mistakes in text and just correct it. For example if you reading the book and you didn't understand something, you can just do revision process and you will remember this text more for sure.

My topic about misinformation and author has really big argument of that topic. People talk about misinformation and are incorrectly quoting others on these forms of internet conversation. He has many examples from his life. This examples explain how much of an issue misquoting and spreading false information is in today's society due to social media.

I think that word " rhetoric " have a positive connotation , because it's really helpful thing in reading skills. I learned from our reading about rhetorical analyses that I have to be fully focus on text to better understand the text. I think rhetorical analysis can be useful when text is to big and you don't have to be fully focus on text because it's really hard to remember all big text.

I just wanna say that it's gonna be really hard work for you. Because you are playing tennis and study at the same time. You don't gonna have a lot of time to spend it everywhere. Sometimes you will do something impossible because only like that you can be a good student and good tennis player. I am really happy that I finished high school but now I am in American college. And that's only because I did everything right and I worked hard in high school. In Kazakhstan we have only 11 classes , grades. So main thing for you that you gonna do the big exam of the end. This exam about your all 11 years of school. Be ready for that it's gonna be tough work for you. Don't forget that you are student-athlete and sometimes you gonna push your self to get really good results.

Sometimes you not gonna have time for games or something like that. But remember hard work good results. When I was in high school no body helped me first 4 months. But then when I was really full of work my mom and grandma saw that and they was really interested in what I am doing. Basically I wrote so many essays to get the right grade. And my parents helped me with that. But now I'm doing everything by myself and nobody helping me because it's really tough work. I wanna say that college is really much harder then high school. In high school I wrote just one page and that was fine for good grades. In college I have write two or more pages to get good grades. In college I spend a lot of time on study. I just wanna say that it's gonna be really tough work for you , be ready!

In the high school I had Russian language teacher. I had a lot of experience in my class because this class was everyday 6 times on week. I wrote there a lot of essays and I really upgrade my skills in Russian language. In this class we read books , wrote essay , learn poem , wrote many many paragraphs from book.

I think that really important thing about my friends is that they bare helping me all the time when I need their help and this is active listening.

I like read a book in real life , for me it's so much better because I think you can improve your skill faster then you read online books
