Week 3:

I think one thing in particular that has helped me with my writing in class would have to be the peer review we did. It gives me another perspective of someone reading my work to help organize my writing without making it tedious and boring to read. I could use reviewing from others or just advice in the future to advance my writing or just anything I do in life, cause having more then one opinion on something is very helpful sometimes. I think one thing I would need help on in class would just have to be the pace of homework being released, I think even with the homework’s being given a week to work on, I feel as if It’s still confusing to keep track on. I acquire most of the information I don’t pay attention to by my classmates actually, they are very helpful and keen to help out anyone when they need the help.

Week 5:

The Purpose of my Learning Analysis Essay was to show the reflection of how I got out of my comfort zone. Where the confidence I would never thought I could attain, from all the overthinking thoughts and consistent degrading on myself, stopped, and helped me push forward with my life. The events that were said in this assignment helped me express myself with my peers, I could talk about the people that helped with this process, or just how I could go through some of this by myself. Even some of the stuff I need to work on is still in process to this day, I’m always trying to improve slightly each day.

Week 6:

One of the Articles I’m using talks about the process of the production of the Twin Towers. It explains the materials that were used during the making and also Explains where the design got it’s influence from. I annotated mostly the inspiration’s that the Tower’s came from and also just the simple information on Materials that were used, it’s very helpful when it comes to explaining the Site because I can review the annotations without reading the very large articles again. I would also need to process other details such as how they would have to work around problems such as the Weather and how tall the buildings were.

Week 7:

I would say when it comes to a learning objective, one of the components I have learned was applying information more directly. When a question or a problem is brought up, I can carefully use information that has been given to me to support my claim and bring up more concepts that could further push my claim to another bigger idea. I would say before this semester, when I would give pieces of evidence or information, I wouldn’t use it at it’s fullest and the outcome would be me having extremely weak evidence that seemed to be useless for my argument. Now when I use evidence, not only do I find the best parts of a writing, but I can also verbally back it up with even more arguments and more proof.

Week 8:

The peer review has done MIRACLES, for me. Whenever I reread my own piece of work I never really pay attention as much as I should be. I’m also very bias when it comes to my work, but when my peers are reviewing it, they are NOT afraid to share their opinion on what I need to change. Which ruins my mentality really badly (I’m kidding), but in all seriousness it’s so helpful because there will be small details I didn’t fix and I wouldn’t realize, but with the help of other’s I see it and I can revise my work to be more clear and stronger. Also If I’m confused about something even after class, I make sure to look online to verify that at least I have a good grasp on the idea, without having to struggle to remember it.

Week 9/10:

The research sources I used were mostly Articles, whether it was talking about the past of Radio Row, and all the innovations that were being sold in this very busy neighborhood, or how we commemorate all the lost ones we had during the tragedy of 9/11. These topics help with my Site on the World Trade Center because I will have not only the basic information like how tall the buildings were, the amount of time it took to build, or even how many workers were part of the construction, but I also have information on the amount of materials used, and how they could make working farther up easier.
