Blog #2

Flipping through the course syllabus and calendar I see a great deal of writing and discussions relevant to the pop culture scene. There are many interesting topics to be touched upon in this class. I think from personal experiences and fellow students past experiences we can have very argumentative discussions. That is one thing that is very important to me which is actively listening to others in hopes to learn something new about a particular topic of interest.
I primarily expect to enhance my writing capability in this class. With the “SF Writer” and the “World is a Text” I hope to get helpful hints on how to make my writing more engaging and exciting for the reader. Also with the opportunity to peer review I look forward to reviewing other papers and receiving positive feedback from my peers. From past experiences, I have mostly used APA to document my sources. During the MLA Workshop Day I learnt how to document basic sources through that method. I know with learning about each source and with practice and I can begin to use MLA to my advantage for writing better papers.
I also hope to learn how to properly structure formal papers in a University manner in this class. With this in mind and the practice we will receive from the three papers I hope to write more interesting papers that the reader will enjoy. With the knowledge and support from Nancy Welter I hope to better my writing capability so it will stay with me forever.

From reading this blog I can see that you seem to be be quite the studious and thorough student. I guess it is good news to hear that you have learned at least a little bit from our MLA workshops. I hope you end up learning how to properly structure papers by the year's end.
