Dentistry Marcie Ann Mills HCA 391 Abstract I chose to research Dentistry because my cousin is a dentist. Even though she is a family member and we are close, I hardly know a lot about her career profession. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to pick her brain and learn more about the profession. As a dentist, you have the opportunity to strengthen your patient’s self-confidence, improve their overall health, and potentially even save lives. For example, infections such as cancer can show their first symptoms in the oral cavity.
The way I improved my paper was taking my instructors constructive criticism and making the necessary corrections, to the best of my ability. I had obvious problems with the comma usage, dangling modifiers, and it was no question that I have to improve my vocabulary. Referring back to the text book and using the Thesaurus definitely helped me make the best revisions that I can make. The most challenging part of this assignment for me was to expand the use of my vocabulary. I know a lot of words; I just don’t use them in my everyday conversation, thus making it more difficult to incorporate in my essay.
As I reflect upon my analytical report, the issue that I had was to engage my audience to change over to use the new design software. The audience to my paper was a group of Senior Analyst that has been using design software that has been outdated. I had to show, that the new software would improve our business, by offering our customers paper less forms. To better persuasive my audience, I gave them more information about the Microsoft designer, and the capabilities that the software can provide. I chose to identify the problems that our old design system was giving our design team.
It also has a very defined thesis statement at the beginning "Online courses are an excellent way for busy professionals to gain advanced training and certifications or switch career paths. They can also be very effective for first-time job seekers who need specialized training. However, before signing up, here are a few factors that can ensure an online student's success." It easily caught my attention to continue reading and also let me know what I am getting into before actually starting reading the essay; I call it a "Sneak Peak". In "A Soul as Free as the Air: About Lucy Stone" I felt this was a character study which focuses on a specific person of interest.
Brian Brennan Ms. Betsy Woods Eng. 111 RA 2 October 2013 “We Shall Overcome” Rhetorical Analysis Writer’s Reflection: I’m proud of the work I put into the essay. It took a while to go through the speech and pick out the rhetorical strategies, but made the paper easier. I thought the most effective and organized the paper was to break the speech up into three parts and dissect each part. I focused mostly on the main three rhetorical terms, logos, ethos and pathos, but identified others, such as anaphora which was used numerous of times.
It was exciting also, to have developed such good working relationship in such a short period. In the meantime, there were two challenges during the length of the project: Inability to meet regularly except during class session and individual work scheduled. However, the use of phone calls and email communications as were as the one time face-face meeting to complete the final draft, were steps taken to address those challenges In parallel to the challenges was the positive aspect of the group project. The research critique has taught me the value of identifying the right research design to match research question. I also learned the importance of using a randomly selected sample size to make it easy to generalize findings to other populations.
For our group work, we talked about the totalitarian regimes. This helped me a lot because I was able to share my ideas with my peers and receive more clarity on the rulers. Now I can confidently discuss these topics, but I still feel confused on the differences between totalitarianism and absolutism. Overall, going over the reading as a group and then discussing it as a class really gives me a better understanding of what I am reading. Regarding my research project, I haven't really had time to go over all my sources and fill in my outline.
I really did not know what to expect that this paper was going to be about so I just decided to go with the flow. Even though I didn’t really understand the whole I-Search paper format, I was actually kind of excited to finally do something new in English. Two days later my class learned how to grasp information and put that information on a flashcard. This helped me become more organized with the research information. I really think that these flashcards helped me with my information throughout the whole
