Thlog #9 - Omg End of Quarter Feels ):

Weeeeeek. Nine. Crazy shit man.
Well this week we only had one class so it didn't really feel like "Week 9." I liked this weeks class though. Our presentations were actually helpful. I liked the one about hedged language because I feel like that can be really beneficial to me later on (I'm a pre-chem major) when I'm working on higher degrees. I didn't know how much a difference those simple words made either, you can change an entire sentence's meaning with one word. I enjoyed doing my presentation as well because I'm a huge fan of semi colons and they're super efficient if you use really long sentences a lot which I happen to do. I also think the presentation that discussed brackets (pretty sure it was citations) was informative, I tried using brackets in one of my WP's and failed miserably. That being said, I'm super glad someone covered proper ways to use them. 

In regards to the portfolio...I'm having mixed feelings about it. I don't think I'll struggle with the reflection part or the matrix parts. I think the hardest part for me will be adjusting the actual WP's and trying to make them better. I really struggled with WP2 and I don't want to rewrite it and it still be a total disaster.

  1. Yay I am so glad that you liked my group’s presentation on hedged language! I’m glad that the presentation had such an impression on you and that you can use what you have learned for future projects. I also really enjoyed your presentation on semi-colons. I took me until my junior year of high-school to have the confidence to use semi-colons and they are honestly a game changer. It’s crazy how using a semi-colon over a comma can really change the meaning of your sentence. It will also be a challenge for me to edit my WP projects. They were all so traumatizing and I don’t want to relive that pain lol. Good luck!
