There are many concepts and strategies that we have been learning in class that will come in hand for other classes and overall our daily life. For me personally while being in high school I was never taught how to find good sources specially scholarly sources. In the time I have taking this class I have learned a lot of important tools that have made me a better reader and writer. When it comes to long readings not only assigned in this class I have learned to chunk the reading, highlight the reading, and read it several times to understand the text. When I first started using strategies that we learned in class was in my HCOM class. For our midterm we need to present a speech. For that speech we need to resreach a topic discussed in class and use one search as one of the tools we use. At first I was so confused on what scholars sources to use or overall use good and reliable sources. I then took what I learned in my CAD class and research my topic and found reliable sources. Finally, what I have been learning in class has helped me not only in the HCOM class but it will come in handy for future papers and readings.
Better than assumptions:- Communication
CAD, Communication across disciplines has always been a rejoicing experience for me. I never see this class to be a place where I work academically as a student but I believe it is a platform for me to express my thoughts clearly and receive informative feedback for it. I sense the freedom of speech that's offered to me in this class where the environment is unbiased and encouraging towards self-betterment at almost everything. For students enrolling in CAD with Dr. Graff, it would be a worthful opportunity to develop life skills especially when it comes to communication. Communication is the tact that allows people to interact and express ideas vividly and helps others perceive you better. Communication works for those who work at it -John Powell Rhetoric as a term that was introduced from this class has helped me get more keen on it and have a consciousness of it in my day to day life. After being a part of this class I have started interpreting things differe
I completely agree that this class has taught me how to research properly, i.e. finding scholarly sources. I have been able to transfer this to many of my other classes and it has proven to be a great help. I have also begun to chunk my readings in other classes and this has helped me a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it is important to find relevant good sources. And when you say that you have learned the importance of chunk reading, I could relate more. I should have started doing that a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree i use the library tool specifically in a lot of my other classes, which is very helpful because if it weren't for this class I wouldn't have know about the online library and would have a hard time getting good scholarly research for my current and future papers.
