thlog 7

Why is it week 8? Is it just me or is this quarter going by faster than usual. Even if it’s it true there was still a lot of valuable information thrown around in our one class this past week.

 To start things off, we were introduced to two helpful tips. One being “Know what you write” and the other being “Attack the page”. “Know what you write” to me sounds like the very first rule of writing. I really don’t think anyone completely b.s. a paper without having some knowledge or expertise. This helps us look at our writing through two different perspectives and such. I feel like knowing what you write goes farther with confidence. Most of my writings I have written thinking I was the worst writer in the world. But a while I got over and got the assignment done without inhibitions, maybe this plays into “know what you write.” Even though I haven’t tried “attacking my paper“ yet, I feel like this is very useful. In sports, a coach always preaches the “attacking” mentality almost all the time. Attacking a paper would probably boost our performance like an athlete.

After these tips, we jumped straight into business with our peer review. Like before, I always found this time extremely beneficial. I learned that I should focus more on the readings and incorporate them more. Long story short, I still have some work to do and I wouldn’t have known this if it weren’t for peer review.

It just looked at my calendar to make sure, it is week 8 of winter quarter. Our time may be ending but there’s still work to do. I look forward to class this week.
