Yadira's Transfer Blog 2

While taking CAD  I have learned a lot when it comes to reading long and difficult articles. In some of my other classes I have received readings and articles that where difficult for me to understand and I would many times get distracted while reading. When I was given this kind of reading I used the Reading Strategies List that as a class we came up with to help me get through it. While in my FYS class I was given an article to annotate and the Reading Strategies List helped me get through it. I found myself highlighting important things and I would re read the article to understand what I am the article is saying. I would also write in the margins and look up the words I did not understand.

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
