What do you like the most about your responses to the interview questions?

The thing that I like the most about my responses to the interview questions is that they let me reflect on this entire course and everything that I have learned as a whole. Throughout this course, I have been mainly focused on completing the assignments and learning the specific information required for that week. These interview questions allow me to take a step back and look at the big picture of this course and all that it has taught me about writing and web writing. By answering these questions, I get the chance to reflect on the main takeaways, skills, and information that I have gained from this writing course.

[laurenev13]

I feel the same way! I also liked how it was an opportunity to see the class as a whole and not just by the week. When working through the individual modules, its hard to see what you have learned so by doing this assignment it was the perfect time to reflect!

Week 15 Prompt 3

Prompt: What do you like most about your learning? 

Response: I like that when I am learning I can be very creative with my methods. For example when learning the key concepts in the beginning of this course I came up with an acronym to help me remember the key concepts better. I like that I think outside the box and am willing to go the extra step to understand a concept so I can make it an applicable tool. 

[laurenev13]

I struggled a lot when trying to remember the key concepts at the beginning of the semester. I didn't think to come up with an acronym but that's something I will have to try in the future. Thanks for sharing!

What are you most proud of with your writing process?

I am most proud of my organization steps. Before I organize my information, the assignment often times seems very overwhelming to me. After I organize everything, the essay and task seems much more manageable. When writing essays, I think my information is well organized and easy for my readers to follow.

What do you like most about your learning?

I like that the information I learned can be applied in the real world. Web writing is only going to become more apart of daily lives with people writing more books online, classes being online a lot of the time, and with social media. All of these things and more require web writing so I am glad I got the chance to learn about it.

What do you like most about your responses to the interview questions?

I like that they are personalized to me. No other person in the class will have the exact same responses because we all had different experiences. I like that they allowed me to think about explain my growth throughout the semester. I also liked how they allowed me to think about how I will carry what I learned into my future career.

Thursday Check-in Post

What questions do you have about web writing that will help you after you finish this course?

As a future teacher, how will web writing help me or be apart of that career?

What did you learn about drafting across multiple weeks?

One of the greatest things that I learned from drafting across multiple weeks is that writing stops feeling as overwhelming when broken into stages. Instead of trying to complete the entire thing, every week pushed me forward to focus on a different layer: research question, data collection, method, analysis, revision, and design. Stretching the drafting process out over time taught me how to revisit my writing with a clearer mind and a more objective view. This will help me, after college, manage big writing tasks by treating them as evolving projects rather than one-time submissions.

[laurenev13]

I also enjoyed being able to write one or two sections at a time! I agree that it made it more manageble.

Here is an element within my "Connecting Data" section. Does this format make sense, or should I re-format it in a paragraph format? I wasn't sure if this simplified it or just made the ideas more jumbled.

[laurenev13]

I think a paragraph form might make more sense or maybe just make the bullets complete sentences. When I was first reading it I was confused and then after I read further down the list it made more sense. You could also explain how the formatting works below your research question. The way you have it now I think it just takes audience members a minute to understand!

what did you learn about drafting across multiple weeks that will inform your writing process after college #writ318mu #week 13 Through drafting over many weeks, I have learned how to focus my time on specific sections of my writing. This helps manage my time, as well as allow me to expand my thoughts in certain areas. Even when I do not have multiple weeks to work on a draft, I prefer to write a paper then leave it alone for a day or two so I can return with fresh thoughts. With this paper being spread out, I have been better able to take my time with certain sections to ensure I am writing to the best of my ability.

[laurenev13]

I like your idea of taking time to work on specific sections. I tend to write the entire thing at once and then by the end I'm burnt out. I'll have to try your method!

Here is my current analysis for the graph - This bar graph is all about the Outer Banks data. The blue bar represents the posts about actors talking about the show/interviews. The red bar represents behind the scenes posts. The yellow bar represents clips from the show. Each bar represents the total number of engagement (all likes, comments, shares, and resposts) the posts from those categories received. So, how does this graph help us to answer the research question: “what can user engagement with types of posts tell us about what content the audience prefers?” Well, from the chart we can clearly see that behind the scenes clips (red bar) received the highest level of engagement by a significant amount. Behind the scenes clips from the Outer Banks posts collected received a total of 10,084,000 likes, 20,825 comments, 432 reposts, and 232,996 shares for a total of 10,338,263 engagements. From the graph we can conclude that Outer Banks fans alone, like behind the scenes clips the best of the three categories. Outer Banks fans' second choice is clips from the show (yellow bar), and their third choice is actors talking about the show/interviews (blue bar).

Is there anything else I can add to make my analysis stronger? Does this analysis make sense to my readers?

what did you learn about your writing process that will help you after college?

I learned that I should add revising to my writing process. Previously, I just had rereading in my writing process but I now realize I need to add after rereading, revising. This addition will help me to write stronger writings and sound more professional after college.

what did you learn about drafting across multiple weeks that will inform your writing process after college?

I learned that the first draft isn't always the best, and actually usually isn't. I learned that it's okay to revise and revise again and again. This will inform my writing process after college because it will encourage me to reread and revise all that I write whether its an email to a boss, a resume, or a paper that I have to write for my job. Drafting across multiple weeks has taught me to take my time in my writing and to always write to the best of my ability.

how will having a good revision process help you moving forward beyond this class? In all things academic or job related, from projects to papers, the ability to start something and evaluate the criteria you are trying to meet, then find what is missing, and what is not needed, is a crucial and invaluable part of all of those things that will easily help me moving forward if i can continue to have a good revision process.

[laurenev13]

I agree. I don't think in other classes we get a lot of revision time so I'm thankful we get to practice that a lot with this assignment in this class!

how are you developing style to build your argument in the content analysis? I would not say that there is any overt additional stylistic components of my writing. This is far away from anything creative that I would be adding stylistically and falls heavily into the realm of academic analysis, thus it is without many if any stylistic choices, other than the required parts of style such as subheadings and graphs, which I just use the default ones of those. Otherwise my writing remains purely academic attempting to fulfill the paper requirements.

[laurenev13]

Mine is the same. I think its kind of hard to add creativeness into this assignment since its just analyzing what the data shows.

[dearcher]

Prompt 1: what does your final revision process look like?

My process involves looking at the feedback I get from the professor and adding that feedback in to the best of my ability. This is where I also start adding more detail to my paper and breaking paragraphs up where they need to be. I will also try and add some creativity where I can after I revise everything as well.

[laurenev13]

This is exactly what my final revision process looks like too!

How are you developing style to build your argument in the content analysis?

I am using formal and academic language in my analysis. Each of my paragraphs aims to answer my research question and to prove or disprove my hypothesis. By structuring my paragraphs with a clear explanation of my findings supported with graphs, my style helps to create a reasonable and explanatory argument.

How will having a good revision process help you moving forward beyond this class?

Having a good revision process will help me to write a good resume to get a job. I am going to be a teacher so having a good revision process will be something I need to teach my students as well. A good revision process will also help me to write professional emails to employers, coworkers, and parents.
