Class Structure

I really enjoyed the whole one day of class a week thing. However, I wouldn't have had a problem with class on Thursday's when there was a paper due, just to get more help if it was needed. Having that class probably would have helped me with some last minute questions I didn't get answered from emails right before the paper was due. For future 1020 students, I feel that it all has to do with what they are comfortable with, if they feel they are ready to take a class that only meets once a week but still have work due on another day, go right ahead and take that kind of class. If not, take a class that meets the usual two days a week. Whatever you decide to do make sure you stay caught up with things.

I'm done with exmas at 10:00 on Tuesday, so anytime after that is okay with me.

I’m going to use my analysis project. I feel that I did a good and bad job on grammatical structure and a good job on punctuation. I feel that I did a bad job on grammatical structure because there were transitions needed in between some of my paragraphs. For example “These three ads have a common theme, which is portraying the image of being young and beautiful while wearing each fragrance.” “Many advertisements promote and divulge images of the “American Dream” as money causing happiness.” (Transition needed between the two paragraphs. I’m not really good at transitions, so most of the time, I probably didn’t have one. I feel that my punctuation usage was done very accurately. I think it was punctuated the right way to make my paper flow.

Assesment #10

I’m not really sure what I’ve conquered this semester (not saying that I’m the best writer). I know there are things that I’ve improved at, but I’m just not sure what I have conquered. There are still some things I need to work on, such as transitions between paragraphs. I learned how to do things better with peer review, my book, and sometimes comments that people left on my blog. I feel that I may be a stronger writer than I was before, and I know how to appeal to different audiences with different genres.

Formal citations work within an essay to show support for your reasons and opinions, and to show that you aren’t just making things up. They also work to show your audience that you are NOT plagiarizing. Formal citations help create arguments because you have proof that someone else agrees or disagrees with you and your opinion. It proves that there are people who feel the same way as you. It shows support because it gives evidence for your reasoning and your opinions.

All of my papers used the same citation style which was MLA. I used the MLA citation format mainly because it’s the only one I’m familiar with. I also know that it’s an easy format to follow when looking for attributions for authors.

Assesment #7

Examples of credible sources would be professional accounting websites, accounting books, business magazines, and finance books. Some non credible sources would be wikipedia and other websites that anyone can post things on.
