I thought that class went very well today. First Dr. Brewer cleared up a lot of the mind boggling information about the methods project. Dr. Long sat down with me and described in detail how to approach writing a scientific paper. Her suggestion about creating an outline was very helpful and I will try to implement this technique in the future.
The introduction to persuasive writing was a fun exercise. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I felt that saving them is the least I could do for them since they have brought me such joy throughout my life. Even though this was a fictitious exercise it was something that I could get behind. Everyone in the class had such strong arguments as to why the breed that they chose would be the best.
The work with the things explainer was such a refreshing look at simple words to explain complex systems. Dr. Long's explanations were spot on about how people use words that they do not understand just because its expected in technical papers. Creating my own cartoon was something I haven't done since elementary school, and I see that my artistic abilities really have not improved since than.
