Thlog W6

This week went by pretty well. We did the usual ad got more into our WP2.

On Monday we went over some changes in the syllabus, which was helpful because I would have never notice the changed and would have done all my assignments late. We also did an interesting activity which really got me thinking about. The point of the activity was to make ourselves think from a different point-of-view. I admit that I found it very hard, but I also found it interesting how changing one’s point-of-view can open one to a whole different scenario. Like everyday day, we had our weekly tips; this time the most important ones had to do with brackets and hedged language, both of which I had no idea how to use or what they meant.

While writing my shitty first draft, found myself really liking the topic and thought that the readings were capable of being understood which is always helpful since I’m the one who need to be able to interpret them. I also thought that I had done a decent job making an intro, but I know I still need to work on it. Too bad that I won’t be there Monday to get feedback from my fellow classmates.

On Tuesday the journal was also a good. It was helpful in getting an understanding of the differences between what a move and a convention. The writings tips were helpful, at least the second one was because the first one was something that I always look up on the OWL page and have prior experience with. Anyways parallelism was a bit hard to understand because it’s something that I never thought about, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how often I encountered this already in writings. Having to read those two WP2s was nice because I always like having something that I can refer to when writing my own stuff, like Dirk mentio0ned, writers get ideas from previous writing of the same genre—it went something like that.
