Week 3

After a long nice holiday because of snow, we had a three-day-long week in a good mood. In fact it could be a nice idea if workdays were only three days normally. :) Unfortunately, one of the two communication classes was the victim of that holiday so we are behind the schedule now. And we weren't able to start our Internet topic in the course book however we read it ages ago. But we did something more important that we got the feedback of our diagnostic essays. And once again, we terribly realized that we were not good writers at all.

The experience of diagnostic essay showed that lots of words and phrases that we have used up to now were not appropriate. Especially the words that I mostly used in the introduction such as all, every, always, people, humans, life, nowadays and day by day became our banned words. But it was logical not to use them because those words are causing some incorrect generalizations as Mr. O’Regan said. Other important point was the thesis statement that most of us were not able to create in our essays. And that made me realize that before the Comm. 101, I was writing lots of childish essays but I was getting good grades. But in Comm. 101 it’s not easy to do well without working hard. So I will always try to do my best in this course.

Because this was a short week, there is not much to tell. I’m waiting for the next week to see how the classes will be when we introduce in our book. The subject is not deep and difficult so I think it will be really funny.
