What do you like most about your essay?-

Personally, what I liked most about my essay was the fun images and graphics. I thought that each image in my slideshow was meaningful and made connections with my analysis. My images enhanced my writing because, as the audience read my reasoning/explanations, they had a visual to go along with it, so they knew exactly what I was talking about.

[piggylabs]

In my essay I used images to show examples of the posts I am talking about and, for my graphs, to give/show my data in a way that's easier that reading the entire table. I could have added another image just so I have one from the three channels I'm using. The point of images in an essay it to enhance the writing and give a better understanding. I know this makes my sound like a teacher but what else do I say, "your did it"?

What do you like most about your essay?

My favorite part of my essay is that you can see everything I have learned throughout the semester. This is important to me because with every class I take I hope to continue growing as an individual both academically and non-academically. When reading my essay you can clearly tell how much I have grown in this class. This is important because in order to learn academically you must continue to grow as an individual within the classes. I also have enjoyed reflecting back on the semester in my letter. It adds to the viewing of growth throughout the semester.

[piggylabs]

That was something I was also hoping to get out of this class. Something to visually show my growth and what I have learned from this class. I have never thought about how how much I have grown in this or any class. Now I need to reflect on to see how I have grown this semester, not as a writer but in other ways, from the experiences in this class.

Thursday Check-in Post

what assignment questions do you have that will help you complete the assignment successfully? @npfannen

For our "Interview Reflection Final" are we suppose to structure and write it as an essay or a list of questions? Having the questions and answers in complete sentences and paragraphs. Or do we have it structured is the same way you provided, in other words, do we have it as a Q&A?

Do we also need examples of our work for each question in addition to our answer? And do we need to treat this as a job interview or is that just the concept for the assignment.

where will you adjust your essay to strengthen your point?

I have adjusted my essay to strengthen my point in several ways. I have added images so the reader can visually see what the content I am talking about looks like. I also added a section explaining some data points with a visual example from my research. After making these adjustments I feel that my essay has a stronger point and its easier to grasp.

what are you most proud of with your writing process?

I am most proud of my revising process with my writing. It lets me go back to see what I have and an opportunity to fix it. I can struggle with getting my ideas down and properly explaining them. When revising I get the chance fix what I don't like and fix what others have say to fix. I'm proud because this is the point when my ideas seem to take off and reach the point I envisioned them at.

what do you like the most about your essay?

The part that I liked the most was how I could choose the accounts I got to analyze. Because we had free rein of what we could research I could choose a platform I am familiar with and accounts I know and like. The three channels I picked were great and gave informative data I was not expecting, as the practice one I know the answer from the start.

#DrPGame Extra Credit Week 14

We are finishing all the projects - share pictures of your favorite snack foods for staying motivated while you do all the school work

My favorite snack for when I'm working on class assignments/ projects is Disappointment chips. They don't impede my focus when working. (This is a joke. I would snack on whatever is available, I'm not picky)

post an image of an element of your Content Analysis that needs input from your peers. Post an image AND request the feedback you want.

I am looking for feedback on my title page. I made the design quick because it was something simple. However, I am wondering if it fancy enough for this project. Should I add more images relevant to the content of my paper? Is it too plain? Or is it good for this project? My only concern is I do not want the title page to take away from the content in my paper. I am looking forward to hearing the thoughts of others in the class.

[piggylabs]

I would say it could use a bit more. Your right you don't want to take away from the writing but you don't want the title page to be uninteresting. The images you have are a good start but they could be positioned around better instead if they in a row. You could try changing the title from just bold text to the title style word has. Experiment with these and see what works.

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

After drafting across multiple weeks, something I will take away and utilize in my writing process after college is that things take time. I feel like working on simple sections at a time and ensuring they are meeting all the requirements works so much better than working on the entire project at once. This way I was able to stay organized and focus on one section at a time to ensure my best work. I then could go back the next week and see what changes I need to make based on my peer review. I felt like this process kept me from feeling overwhelmed with work. Overall, I will definitely use this writing process in the future.

[piggylabs]

I think that is a much better and healthier why of doing it. Choosing to just focus on one part at a time will give better results as your putting all of your thought and effort in one place instead of over several, each one would get less overall. This will also decrease stress as its not as big and intimidating when its less at a time. I'm not an expert I just suffer from stuff like this a lot.

My dad always tells me "thing will take longer than you anticipate" and that may be applicable here.

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

I learned that when it comes to my writing process it is beneficial to have others look at my work. I feel like when others look at my work it is easier to find the mistakes then when I am looking at it myself. When it comes to my future it is important to have someone maybe read over a resume before I submit it and also as I create IEPs for my future students it will be very important for someone to look over that.

[piggylabs]

I said the same thing, that it helps to have someone else look over my work before submitting it. This is why people make drafts and why proof reading is so important, especially when you publish a work. I'm not sure why but when someone else looks over others work, they can see the errors and mistakes that the writer wouldn't see as easily. I would look into why but I don't have the time too.

Original Post 3.1

post an image of an element of your Content Analysis that needs input from your peers.

What I would like input on is if the image is well placed or include what it needs and if the connection if good. I don't know if my example flows well with the rest of the paragraph. I don't want it to feel crash landed in the essay. Also does the image include to much or too little info/ detain? I'm not sure of how I would get an image of what I need to explain my point, as the comments are pretty sporadic so finding an example is difficult. Any feedback or other input is appreciated.

If you see this include "mustache" in your reblog

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

I learned that its best to get a second pair of eye in it. I can write and explain the points well enough but getting someone to look over it and help with expanding my points is very helpful. I now know where my limit/ ability is and when to ask for help. Be it from someone looking over my resume or a coworker proofreading my write up. But knowing the difference when I need help and don't want to do it is the next challenge.

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

I learned that writing most of the draft before getting you first round of feedback is both good and bad. Its good as now your at the point where you tweak what make small additions to what you already have. It can be bad as now you are less likely to change large parts of what you have written, even if it needs to change to work/ flow better. If I made something I don't want to go back and redo it.

Post 2: How are you developing style to build your argument in the content analysis?

I’m developing my style by being intentional about clarity and consistency rather than trying to sound overly complex. I’m using headings and subheadings to guide the academic reader through my argument and keeping my language focused on explanation instead of description. Stylistically, I’m repeating key terms like content strategy, audience expectations, and engagement so the argument stays cohesive. This helps the reader see patterns across sections and understand how my analysis builds toward clear conclusions instead of feeling fragmented.

[piggylabs]

This is a very good way to develop style and convey information. Focusing on clarity over sounding knowledgeable is something more writers and readers should know! Its so common, especially in the field of science, there are several jokes about this, things like The Turbo Encabulator. Writing so the reader understands is the hole point and with some areas most are less familiar with its even more important. Repeating key terms so the reader remembers them is very clever.

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

Having a good revision process is so important in all fields of writing. It is where the final essential parts of writing happen which clarify the purpose and make final decisions. This will help me moving forward because this project is teaching me to refine my process and how to use data and graphs in my writing.

I think this process is how mistakes get avoided and peer feedback is very important during this stage of writing.

[piggylabs]

A good revision process is important in more that just writing fields, writing is used in every field. Any time your writing for any job its a good idea to look over and revise your writing for the same reasons you said. In certain jobs or positions it may be difficult to get someone to look over and give feedback on your writing but its still important.

What does your final revision process look like?

For this paper, my final revision process will focus on grammar edits and making sure the flow of the paper makes sense. I want the commentary to add to the overall purpose of the paper, but sometimes I get a little too philosophical and off topic. I will have a friend or family member read my paper and give constructive criticism.

[piggylabs]

I thinks its good to have the commentary about the paper add to the paper, it makes it more thought out. I also worry about getting off topic by explaining unnecessary things, so I understand. Constructive criticism is very helpful but sometimes go with what you think even if they say to change it.

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

I am developing style by using clear explanations of the collected data to properly share my findings. I explained my data in a clear way so the reader may understand it and I explained my findings, commenting when the data does or doesn't follow there reputations. I tried to use a style that puts the reader on the same page as me, so every point I made could be interpolated the same way I did. Fully knowing the data collected in an experiment is very important but knowing how the data compares with past studies can also be important. I explained my findings, how they compare with my hypothesis, and past trends as to fully convey my argument.
