Eng 105 with Rebecca Medley

The thing i liked best about this class was that it was very relaxing for the most part and friendly. I also kind of liked that we did not have much homework for the first like almost two months. But that also goes along with what i liked least b/c since we had not started any projects or assignments until later, i felt more rushed to get them done, like i didn't have enough time. I got a little stressed but i got it done. The project that makes me most proud is probably the first assignment, the hypertext. I think i did pretty well with it knowing how difficult it could've been. I think i may also be proud with this current web argument assignment, i don know yet. Something that i will take away from this course is all of the things i learned about setting up/creating a web site and using hyper links. The biggest thing i learned about myself is that i procrastinate waayaay too much and i need to work on that. i left too much until last minute which may have costed me some points that i could've earned had i just worked on my stuff when i needed to. So that is also the thing that i would've done differently during this course. I would've worked on my stuff on time!

MY CLAIM!!!

Models face a big issue of nudity because some people find it to be inappropriate or they may find it to be art. It's up to the model to distinguish where they may lead their nudity before it becomes inappropriate or pornagraphy.

synthesis

I used to have a hard time putting my thoughts into words verbally. It was also a little difficult to do it on paper as well, but I have definitely improved on that this past year. It is a lot easier now for me to write what I want to say and have it sound the way I want it to. I find it to be way easier to write creatively than academically. I like just writing about whatever comes to mind, with no specific topic at hand. Academically needs research and back up information. It’s less creative. Usually before I start writing something academically I picture what I want it to look like or sound like. I think of how I want it to flow. Usually it comes together the way i want, sometimes it doesn’t. That is another issue with writing academically; I get disappointed when it doesn’t turn out the way I intended it to. This relates to the multi modal texts because I really have to think about how I want it all layed out and what branches off where. It’s like drawing a map for the MM.

Reflections

While writing my informative multi modal, the audience I had in mind were people who are into pop-culture and are fans of celebrities. People that may either agree that celebs are being portrayed wrong or people who disagree and believe what they see and hear about famous people. My purpose for writing this is to inform people of the truth.

I am most proud of the layout and the way it flows and links together pretty well. I like my choice of colors and I think my title is pretty clever. I don’t know what I would change because I don’t have that greater technical knowledge, so I don’t know what I would be able to do in order to make it better. That’s probably not that great of an answer, but we were taught pretty much the basics of we needed and could use. I don’t know the program enough to say what I could use to improve. I think what I learned was enough for now.

Honestly, no I did not allot enough time for this. I procrastinated, a lot! I know that’s bad, but I had little motivation to do this, so it ended up coming together at the very last minute, as much of my work does. But I think I put it together pretty well and I did basically what I wanted to do. I made my point and it makes sense. My research was a little hard. I did not really know what I was looking for at first, but then once I figured out what I was trying to say, it became easier to find things and narrow it down. I probably needed more research though.
