This blog shall talk about how I have used strategies and my reading, writing skills from my Communication across discipline class towards my major which is Computer Science. I have always been asked by many about what my major is and it always is succeded  by comments about how difficult and dangerous of a subject have I chosen upon. Computers and its coding have always been fascinating to me since high school because it develops your brains logic and intellect extensively. Every code I write or even think about needs a certain type of logical thinking which I believe is only possible when you train your mind to do so. From my experience, a unanimous logic does not help each time hence there is a need to develop a habit of thinking about how you think. “Metacognition” which means thinking about thinking is an extremely helpful strategy that I have learned from my   CAD   class. It has always been useful when I am struggling to lay down my code on paper before its exe...

       In this Transfer Blog, I will be writing about how I have used skills that I have learned in my CAD class. CAD is a class focused around Reading and Writing, more specifically rhetoric and how it's used on our daily lives. In my Calculus class strategies like reading aloud and paraphrasing what the author is saying has helped me tremendously. Drawing lines and connecting them to how interest them has been one of the. most profound one. The way the Calculus questions are phrased can at times make it difficult to comprehend. By rephrasing what is written in the text, I am better capable of understanding what the question os truly asking.         As you can see in the image, for every sentence written I would interpret it in my own way by rephrasing what is already said on the page. Thinking aloud goes hand-in-hand with rephrasing, as thinking aloud helps me rephrase what the question says, rather than just silently rephrasing. This ...

I've used what I've learned in CAD 101 to benefit myself in my HCOM class. I've had to make speeches and the concepts I've learned have helped me in the process of making these speeches. Concepts like context and purpose were the most important. While the speeches were being made made I had to consider what knowledge the audience had on the topic and what purpose I was trying to push. Without the knowledge I obtained from CAD my speeches would've come out worse. Without considering the context of the audience's knowledge too much or too little information can be put in a speech. The purpose is also really important since if you don't have a good purpose for the speech then why should the audience listen.

            In this transfer blog I will be explaining annotating and how it helps me understand the reading better. As my second semester started, I was given several reading assignments in my service-learning class. Reading these assignments, I had remembered about the time we talked about annotation in my CAD 101 class. I reflected to first semester remembering when we had talked about annotating and how it is very helpful. So, in my service-learning class I decided to annotate my readings with color pens and would ask questions about the reading, things I wanted to discuss, and even disagreements I had. Knowing that annotating my reading assignments in different colors throughout the reading helps me more being able to go back and reflect on that I annotated on.   Along with little side notes to help me remember why I underlined that part of the reading.

Prior to taking this class, I did not speak out or participate in class. And when I did, I simply answered what I knew and that was all. But in this CAD class, we do not simply answer what we know, we elaborate on why or how we know it, and why something is that way instead of identifying that it is a certain way. Also, thinking aloud verbally or by writing notes in margins, is a skill that has helped me in other classes.  An example of this is like what is shown above. We can read a title of something we are about to read and think aloud to ourselves to try and figure it out. This not only helps us better grasp what we are learning in the reading but gets us more engaged. This has helped me in environmental science because instead of simply memorizing the different facts about sediments, I can think aloud on my the names are the way they are and see if we can decipher what it is before we read its definition. And when we do find out what the sediment is, we elaborate on why it ...

CAD Skills February 10, 2020 In this blog I will be explaining how the Reading skills I have learned in my CAD class have helped me in my Service Learning Class. Part of my Service Learning class we need to read a lot of articles outside of class and then later have a class discussion about them. Many times after receiving my readings I find them confusing or many times they have challenging vocabulary. While reading articles like these I find using my Reading Strategies List very helpful. I identify the problem or the words I don't understand and I reread it or many times look up the word to get a better understanding of it. Many times this helps me understand what they article is saying and what a specific word I don't understand means. Another thing I do to help me understand articles is write side notes asking questions or making small comment that will later on help me in my class discussion.  My Reading Strategies List has helped me with many other challenging article...

Julian Moore 2/6/2020 Transfer Blog There are many reading strategies I use when going over specific texts for this class  but one in particular I found myself using often is reading out loud and then talking about it  after to my partner, which in this case was Ruben.  As I read out loud and then talked about what I had just read Ruben took diligent notes  and when he was speaking I did the same for him. Those are the bullet points that I have  written down but the main value of this exercise is through discourse.  It is easy to read something then rush past sentences if there is difficulty or misunderstanding,  but this exercise forces the person reading to slow down.  When I take a step back to comprehend what I have just read and talk through it sentence  by sentence then my understanding of the article becomes much more clear.  While this exercise may seem time consuming and pointless I assure you that it is benef...
