Indeed, I feel a great sense of accomplishment for completing my grammatical analysis of Quint's Indianapolis story from Jaws. It might be the most fun I have ever had writing a paper. Professor Lena Ampadu liked it as well giving me compliments on its major parts especially the presentation, visual aid, and conclusion.
Also in PRWR 612, I wrote an analysis on coordination and subordination using two writing examples: on from a fantasy football blog post, and the other from a Groupon ad. The rhetorical analysis I wrote on Billy Budd, which racked my brain quite a bit, prepared me to handle this shorter assignment much easier. The idea for having writing students write about how something is written - is very clever. Nevertheless, I'm done doing it! Can't I just write about real stuff please? LOL!
I'm very happy that I chose Writing Content for the Web (PRWR 628) as an elective. The lessons covered in this class are definitely relevant. I am pleased to have learned things that help me with both of my jobs: Instructor for CCBC, and Teachers Assistant for UMUC. Among some of the interesting things learned in PRWR 628 is the concept of writing information in the form of a question and an answer. Writing in Q & A format is one of the most efficient ways to provide information through writing. I plan to use this style in my syllabus for teaching Intro to Computers, and Academic Development - as well as - for my FAQ's page for Cyber Security.
The final paper for PRWR 628 proposes business-plan and website alterations for the online group buying company Tippr.
PRWR 628 has inspired my to enroll in Creating Online Help (PRWR 637). Writing help sections is something I really think I can do well as a career!
