MADISYN’s Blog Post

One reading tool that I used from this class in another class is annotating assignments. As you can see in the picture demonstrated the annotations of assignment gave me a more clear view on how to properly do the assignment. Through this tool I was able to fully comprehend the assignment and write a paper that adequately follows the guide lines.

    Madisyn,

    I'm glad you're finding annotating your assignments helpful. I'm sure it will continue to be so as you write in college and beyond.

coloer annotating

            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.

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...

Labor Logs and its benefits

Image
         In reading and writing class I have learned many things. One that I feel has helped me not only in this class but also in my other classes is my labor log. My labor log has helped me to learn where and when I work and read the best. For example, I have learned that when I work in the library, for one, I actually work, and two, I tend to consistently have a scale 5 focus. In reflecting upon my labor log, I tend do most of my work just before it is due. But I do my best work in the mornings or at night in the library.          I think that a benefit of keeping track through your labor log is being able to identify patterns and be able to reflect upon them and fix them. And this can be done in all classes. In my math class, I usually start my online assignments right before they're due and sometimes I am unable to do them at all then I am stuck with no help. So it is helpful to see that I need to break this habit.
