I am writing about this topic because in my CTW class, we have done a lot of peer reviews and I LOVE them.  Peer review is so incredibly helpful because it gets a fresh set of eyes on my paper, so that people can catch mistakes that I’ve made or tell me when some parts of … Continue reading »

In this post I am going to respond to my classmate, Taylor’s post about her writing process.  She explained that her writing process is like “avocado hunting”.  Essentially, this means that it can be very overwhelming at first and she might not find a tasty avocado, but eventually she will find the perfect, ripe avocado (aka finding an … Continue reading »

I recently read a very interesting post by my classmate Beverlyn that I wanted to respond to.  In it, she talked about the word, “smart”, and how it means different things to different people.  However, she specifically focused on the question, Do you think one’s intelligence can be linked with one’s physical appearance?

Well, it’s official.  I am a researcher!! (And no, not the scientist kind). I was able to conduct my own research through a survey that I talked about in a past post.  My survey was about women’s inequality on college campuses.  Through this research, I wanted to discover how other people felt about the inequality … Continue reading »

My classmate Alex recently wrote a blog post about how school can kill one’s ability to be creative.  This for me, is incredibly important.  I am a huge proponent of the arts, both in and out of school.  I have sung, acted, danced, and done musical theater basically since I was born, and I know just how … Continue reading »

Sources and I have an interesting relationship.  I’m still not really sure how I feel about all the work that I put into finding them, but they definitely do help me on my papers.  For class, we had to read the article, Helping Students Use Textual Sources Persuasively, by Margaret Kantz that was all about sources.  As … Continue reading »

Whenever I hear the word “beam”, I always think of Star Trek.  All it would take was one person to utter the phrase, “Beam me up, Scotty”, and then they would be off to wherever they wanted to go to! In this context, “beam” does not mean that I will be whisked away to another … Continue reading »
