Intro to First Year Composition Course
FAQ's
What were some challenges that you faced while working on this assignment?
Most of the challenges that I faced were technical. The most challenging thing about this assignment was getting comfortable with the website you chose to complete your work on. " I couldn't find the text box or create a new formatting" (Moreno, 2023) Organizing and formatting your text individually was also a challenge and can be very time consuming.
​ What are some skills that you gained after completing this assignment?
This assignment helped me gain technical skills through web design. I also learned how to briefly describe my works without giving to much information so the viewer can still be interested in learning more. I learned how to do content creation and show case my work online. This helped demonstrate my accomplishments.
Was this assignment thought provoking? Why?
This assignment was thought provoking because it required me to reflect on my skills and goals. It challenged me to think more thoroughly on how to present myself and my work in a way that is understandable and relatable to an audience.
What was the most challenging assignment?
The Assignment that I had the most difficulty with was the Digital Literacy Narrative Video. This assignment had to be turned in twice due to a misunderstanding, on my side, about the specific app that was supposed to be used. I ended up completing the entire project on a different app than the one that was asked of me. The professor reached out to me giving me an extension "No later than Sunday night" (Rogers, 2023) to complete the assignment on the proper app. Not only did i struggle with the app but i also struggled with the amount of time it took me to organize my media in accordance with my voice over. "The assignment took hours to complete" (Moreno,2023) Is the honest truth, I was given enough time to re do this assignment and it was definitely something that could not have been done overnight.
What assignment was the hardest to understand?
The hardest assignment to understand was the AI Policy. The reason why this assignment was so hard to understand was because i confused my understanding of ethics with what i believed was "worldly" ethical. I also struggled with the overall set up of the assignment " Why is this bulleted" (Rogers, 2023)
How was writing challenging in this course?
Writing in this course was challenging because it required me to develop strong writing skills. All of the assignments in this course asked me to organize my thoughts and construct arguments, all while using proper grammar and punctuation. Meeting the expectations on every assignment while still being able to express my work effectively was also challenging because I had struggled with it before. On my AI Policy assignment i spoke unneeded and disorganized processes and expectations because to me it sounded "nice." the professor commented that "this section needs a lot of work." (Rogers, 2023)
What were your expectations from this course?
As a student who had been in Honor's classes all of my high school career, I expected this class to be like a review on the basics of literature. This class was more like a hands-on work experience where what we already knew was put to the test. Not only did we have to show that we could do some basic writing, but we also had to combine our writing with other medias and formatting that we weren't really aware of in school.
What was expected of you as a student in this course?
As a student in this course, you are expected to "share intellectual views and freely discuss the principles and applications of course materials." (Rogers, 2023) Throughout the semester, we learned different techniques in writing as well and how to showcase them. It was expected of us to follow instructions precisely and carefully to that we can deliver work that showed our knowledge to the best of our ability.
