Final Blog #10

In my last blog the professor has given us a lot to address.This has really been a whirlwind semester. I did learn a lot about writing this semester. I learned about run on sentences, citing sources and writing persuasively. When we learned about sources we learned about primary and secondary sources. I really struggled with the essays, I love to write but this was difficult. I have not written a real research paper since 1994 or 1995.The internet was not available the last time I took an English class. The blogs were easy and a lot fun. I loved learning about blogging. I have never blogged before this class. If I could do something different it would not be taking this class online in the summer. Summer sessions are so fast paced that this was very difficult when you add the internet aspect to it. I would probably have tried to be in a classroom. I loved learning about the paranormal. The books I read about mediums were very interesting. I dislike the internet class for a core subject. I really needed the one on one contact. The best part was learning about the paranormal and all of the different things that are considered paranormal.I did however have a good time in the end. I hope that I do well when I turn in my revisions. I wish that I had utilized the teacher more when I was working on my essays. I also would have liked to have met my classmates and had their support while we were working on our essays. Overall though, I did learn and hope that I will get to use that knowledge next semester when I take English 102. Professor Stacy gave us all the tools we need to succeed. I just hope that I retained the information and can use it in all areas of my education. I hope that my classmates had a great semester and learned a lot as well.

Blog # 9

I realize that this is late, and I am really not sure how I missed the assignment. I thought that I would make the effort and do the assignment anyway. I found the peer review a little helpful. I feel like some people are very harsh when they critique someones work. I think you should be helpful without sounding critical.I fixed my format and think that I made it much better. After making the corrections, I sent it to the writing center for Review. Jeremy's comments were very helpful. I made my revisions and turned it in. I hope that I have made some improvements in my writing. I think that the most important things that I had to fix were the format and really double checking for grammar errors. I hope that everything goes well.
