Blogs

-

    The next assignment that I gained writing insight from, were the blog posts. At first, I found the blog posts a little difficult to navigate through since in my previous English class, the class was not built around blog posts and conducting research. Despite this, I enjoyed creating my own blogs and creating my own site. It also taught me how to express myself in my own writing, how hyperlinks can support my points and be appealing, and how to engage an audience through an online platform that anyone can access. In Blog #5 ~ Interview Planning I talked about how I will conduct my interview, where I will conduct it, and used hyperlinks that readers can open. I enjoyed this assignment because I could be creative using appealing images and backgrounds, while also being educational and informative. I do not think my future classes will have blogs as an assignment, but I will use the skills I learned from this assignment to use my creativity and writer’s voice in future classes where I have to write.

          The assignment that I enjoyed the most and liked conducting, was the interview transcription for my research argument: Interview Transcription: SDSU transit Prior to doing this assignment, we had to read the article, Counterstory article I liked this assignment because it showed me the importance of counterstories and how there are alternative or multiple perspectives to one story. I found this article important to my research paper, because the goal of our research paper assignment was to challenge the powerhouse. In my paper, the powerhouse was SDSU. After conducting my interview, I had to create an interview transcript to have evidence for the research paper I would do later in the semester. Even though this assignment was time consuming with the way how I had to organize the paper and try to get an accurate transcript from the video recording to the paper, it allowed me to formulate an argument from the key words from the transcription and i...

Introduction

     Throughout this Spring semester in RWS200, I have learned a handful of useful topics and writing skills that I can apply in my future writing assignments. I have learned how to appeal to certain audiences, how to write for a specific genre, how to conduct my own research, and how to find resources through the SDSU online library. All of these writing skills I learned throughout this semester helped me to develop my writer’s voice and how to write in different tones in assignments like the discussion boards, the research paper, and the blogs. Three assignments from this class that transformed my writing and my understanding skills are: the interview transcript for data collection, the blog posts, and the discussion boards during class. From these assignments, I have learned important skills of how to break down my own primary research data, how to connect with different audiences through rhetoric, and the importance of having well thought out comments in peer review p...

Discussion Boards and Peer-Review

     The last assignment that I learned from, are the discussion posts we would do during class and having peer review from our classmates. I liked doing both of these assignments, because it allowed us to communicate with our classmates and work together to answer questions. An example of this was Discussion Board: Genre Transformation where the class brainstormed what they were going to do for their genre transformation. I liked this assignment, because it allowed me to see how everyone else would carry out their genre transformation and gave me an idea of how I should do my transformation as well. In addition, peer review from our classmates was another big helping hand to my editing and revising. In my last paper, Research Paper: Transit system at SDSU I had two classmates review and give feedback on what I could improve on and what they liked from my argument. Having two people peer review my paper, allowed me to see what parts of my paper were weak, see how I can ...
