Ms. Alyson Rowe, our Web media English communication tutor had recently "asked" us to write a short essay. I had sent a draft today and received a copy back with my usual errors: punctuation! sadly, I missed a semicolon, a punctuation symbol that I've been trying to nail throughout last semester,what an epic FAIL! Oh well, it's my first writing therefore, I reckon Ms.Aly would say: "Don't stress on it :)". So here it is:
Self-reflection essay
Last week Ms. Alyson Rowe, the Web Media English tutor, gave us 2 assignments; one of which was to write a self reflection essay. The purpose of this short essay is to reflect on what I have done and learnt so far from the first week of class until the date of this writing (3rd May), as well as what I would do differently next time.
At the beginning of the previous week, our first class was Mr. Brendan’s Web Authoring . We were given an exercise in which we were to work in pairs or groups to find out what the polytechnic website was missing and then write them down and email them to our tutor. My partner, Abbas, had already come up with most of the points by the next class and I just revised them and added a couple of points.
The game design classes felt more energetic and filled with group activities. I have been brainstorming with my game development group and have participated with game ideas. In addition, I have been assigned the role of the ‘observer’ and have given some feedback to our new tutor, Mr. Owen.
The English assignment, though very useful, felt tedious and repetitive at times. That is not a good excuse to procrastinate, yet I did not start working on it until the beginning of this week. As a result, I have learnt a lot about social bookmarking and actually felt quite pleased from the idea of sharing my knowledge of websites and discovering new ones from others.
In conclusion, in spite of my not so good start, I am keen on improving and catching up with my fellow students.
Hi Khalid,
ReplyDeleteGreat start to your ePortfolio. I knew you'd comment on the semicolon! Keep practicing; you're almost there. I've bookmarked a blog entry about semicolons on my Delicious site. It's pretty good so you should check it out.
Keep up the good work!
Alyson
