Post 08 This term's learning

 This term was pretty much the best learning experience I've had yet! In this term, I learned how to analyze works of writing and learn what to look for. Firstly, I learned how to look for the thesis in the writing, how it should sound to be a correct and clear thesis. Clearing that all the major points are in fact align with the purpose of the writing, and are organized. Make sure that it is the same as when I write a paper of my own. 

When writing, it is most important to make sure that your citations are correct. Without correct citations, the paper can then just be seen as not credible. Being as citations is one of the most important parts of your paper, it goes without saying that it just strengthens your paper. I can say that understanding that the different ways that citations work and how you need to cite it differently debating on how it's supposed to be formatted or the type of paper. 

I don't think that there was anything that I didn't think was helpful, the lectures and books were as much help as I could've needed. It really helped me get through without having to stress too much! I learned that having a schedule and having time management was definitely helpful. Just being on target with what I had to do was also great.

Overall this term has probably been the best part of learning how to write better than I've had in a while!

Post 03: Outside Sources and Academic Writing

                                                   O utside Sources and Academic Writing     As most commonly used, the main ways of using sources in writings. For example, quoting; would be that you use direct words from a source, where d irect quotations are words that are taken directly from another source, and then used just as it's written in the paper. And then there's summarizing, which would be summing up information from a source, understanding the authors main points and shortening a summary from it. And then there is paraphrasing, which as it's known is, taking any part of the source and putting it in your own words. All of these are key in using outside sources in any writing you do, otherwise if not cited correctly,

Post 2: My Rhetorical Situation.

                              `             My Rhetorical Situation          For my first document, I wrote about the anxieties of test taking and online school, considering that I feel like I can relate and it's one thing that's a current problem or issue I face. As for the parts of the communication triangle (Rhetorical wise), First would be the purpose, the purpose would be to explain the issue I have which is being anxious about tests and the pressure that come with online schooling. Then there would be the message I'm trying to send, which is the negative effects of online school besides the postives adressed in the paper.  As for the audience the audience at the end should be well imformed of the issue and the downsides of online school but not be too keen on the negatives or postives and go for a more neutrul takeaway. And just...

Post 06 Boyd's Rhetorical Strategies

 In Boyd's essay, she takes an approach to mainly explain to the readers about writing rhetorically. And in her paper, she makes it really nice to understand and have a good hold on what she's saying. Instead of going for the detailed information, she makes it (at least to me) more straightforward to understand by making it somewhat interactive! By also making it clear that her essay talks about how writing isn't just about how the paper is written but in a way, it's also about the voice, how it sounds to the reader.  As I've seen, instead of just laying out facts like other papers, asking questions.
