Daily Dining Hall Delights By:Sam Arangio Daily blog/review about the dining hall at UNE and the food/drinks they offer. Tuesday February 1st: The dining hall started off strong this Tuesday with a burrito bowl/walking taco station. This option is way better than the usual cold grilled cheese or quesadilla. The burrito had ground beef, salsa, cheese, and lettuce and was a burst of flavor. I would definitely eat it again the people that were with would also eat it again….
This learning outcome involves the crafting of reasonably well-formatted sentences. Each person has different challenges (comma splices, run-ons, fragments, word challenges, etc.), and we seek reasonable control by the end of the term. In my first essay I had a lot of grammar errors like commas in the wrong places and just having run on sentences that would make my essay very confusing to read because it wouldn’t make sense. Like in my second essay I struggled with errors like…
Outcome 5 (Document Work MLA) – Document their work using appropriate conventions (MLA) My citation skills have improved greatly throughout the semester. At first I was confused on how to properly cite a quotation and then I learned it goes the authors last name than the page number where the quote is. I also learned how to cite a article correctly, in high school I would always use a website to generate the citation for me but now I know how to…
Outcome 4 (Peer Review) – Be able to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the writing process and local revision later in the process. At the beginning of the semester, my peer review skills were pretty bad. It didn’t fell right to say negative things about other peoples essays and I was not confident in telling people what was wrong with their essay. Now I can confidently say that I can review someones essay and give…
Outcome 3 (Active Reading) – Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking. Overall my annotations at the beginning of the semester were not that good at all. I would always focus on just highlighting main points and explaining them in my own words. I wouldn’t use any special techniques to try and help me for future essays, I would just annotate to get it out of the way. But towards the end of…
Outcome 2 (Integrating Ideas) – Be able to integrate their ideas with others using summary, paraphrase, quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources. In essay 1 I definitely struggled with incorporating my own ideas/voice with the text and connecting that to the essay prompt. I had some decent quality of making “quote sandwiches’ ‘ and was able to clearly show some of my own ideas and connect that to the prompt. In essay 1 when I was quoting Phelps Roper when arguing…
Outcome 1 (Recursive Process) – Demonstrate the ability to approach writing as a recursive process that requires substantial revision of drafts for content, organization, and clarity (global revision), as well as editing and proofreading (local revision). Overall my essays have definitely become more smooth and strong throughout the semester. I have improved on a variety of topics and I think my strongest improvement has been explaining my quotes and placing transitions in the correct areas. Back in Essay 1 I definitely needed…
In one way Blooms essay on empathy connects to Serhans and McLaughlins essay because empathy can help with assessing the problem with Xenophobia and fixing that issue. When they talk about how wearing mask in affects them and how it can change they’re feelings about other people around them like when they say “Should I not go in a mask anymore? I should not have to chose my safety over my health.”(McLaughlin 1). She should not have to chose between…
Xenophobia is the dislike or prejudice against people from other countries. This term relates to the Covid 19 pandemic because of where it started in Wuhan China, people from there got a lot of hate and some people even started calling it the Wuhan Virus. Covid 189 started a lot of Xenophobia against China. Many other countries were also affected by it like the European countries that were affected by the travel ban because they thought that would stop the…
