Journal #13

This past week we finished up presentations over our research papers. Some of the powerpoints that stood out to me were the powerpoints covering autism and how to find an internship after the summer of our Sophomore year. The internship powerpoint one interested me the most because getting an internship is very important in college. Internships are the way a lot of us will receive jobs once we graduate. Q's presentation was over being an army brat. He has grown all across the country so hearing some of his experiences was pretty cool to see. I did my presentation over college sports and explained to the class what my thesis was for my paper. I think that it went pretty well. Professor Evans announced that our final draft for our paper was due that coming Tuesday at the end of class.

We started out class today with Professor Evans talking more about our papers. She mentioned things that will help us with our research papers like whether or not to use "I" in our papers. Today was the beginning of the power point presentations for our class. Six of the students in class went today. Topics ranged from becoming a firefighter, cell phone use, as well as adoption. While the people were presenting we each wrote questions that we wanted to ask each presenter about their topic. For me the most interesting topic was the fire fighter topic, and from what i could see it was everyone else's because so many had questions on it. Next class more of the class will present. I will be presenting mine a week from now over my topic of problems in collegiate sports.

This past week in English class Professor Evans really focused on answering any questions we may of had over our research paper. We spent a lot of the time asking questions about our interviews for our paper etc. We discussed how we were going to do our presentations for the final research paper. Professor Evans decided that an option for us to present what we learned from our papers would be to do it through power point, this is probably what i'm going to do. She showed a comical video about what not do to with our power points. Thursday we peer edited each others papers within our groups in class. I read over Pat's rough draft and was interested with his topic. I was interested in it because it pertains almost every college student on this campus, college drinking. Also, on Thursday we took time at the beginning of class to schedule times for meetings this week. The professor made the announcement that class would be canceled this week so we could have time to meet with her one on one.
