Blog Entry #5 Self Assesment

Blog
The topics i choose to write about were not related to each other; I just wrote about what was interesting at the time in the media or at school. I think i will continue this way because it makes it more interesting and diverse. When i went back and read over my work, some things didn't make sense  that did when i was writing. This shows that i have to proofread my work more before publishing it. The weekly blogging gives me the opportunity to know what is going on in the world, what is making people talk the most. The blogs have made me to be more interested in the news. And i think as time goes on i will touch on some very important topics.

Expository Writing
Writing research essays in this class have been somewhat interesting but at the same time challenging. The first essay we got to write about Obama. I don't think i really did as well as i could on this paper, mainly because the things i was trying to incorporate in my essay could not be done so in the amount of time i was given. I need to learn how to utilize my time more. The writing center is heaven sent. I mean the help they give you on your essay is amazing, they don't necessarily change anything on your paper, but they critique it in such a way that you feel the need to change it and make it better. Also we had to use lots of technology in this class, from blogging to discussion boards etc. This help broaden my view of learning, its not necessarily all about learning in class, go green. I now try to incorporate other races in my writing rather than focus on how it only affects the black community. So far i think the concept thought in this semester have been descent and i am comfortable with what i have learned so far hoping to add on to it.
