3) How have you conducted research before?
The most research that I had to conducted was on the internet to enroll in BIO181. I'm trying to get into the nursing program and needed to get into a BIO class. Since I have two young children I have to go to school at night so I can have my parents watch them. So I had to do some research and see what BIO I could get into with evening classes. I original enrolled into BIO160 but realized that wasn't a pre-req so I had to drop and switch to BIO181 in a matter of hours. So I went on the computer looked up all the BIO181 classes at all locations and the only one I could find was BIO181 at Red Mountain. I had to consider the time since there is a lab and I wouldn't be getting out of class till 10pm and it's a 45 min drive for me. I talked to my parents about the course and time to make sure it wouldn't be a burden for them. They agreed to watch the children so I could take this pre-req even though it was so far away. After being in the class now for a week I'm very satisfied that I was able to get in and that it wasn't a burden for my parents to watch my kids. I truly am thankful to such wonderful family!
4)How do research processes compare?
Academic research I believe you go more into depth with. Normally if you are just trying to do research for yourself there's less work put into detail. I know in the past when I have done academic research I'm not sure exactly what my instructor wants or needs from me so I make sure I get every detail possible. Where if it's for leisure then I will just look up the answer on the computer.
5)How do rhetorical situations compare?
I was motivated to do the research so I could hopefully get into the nursing program. I only had a day to try to get into a class since school had already started. My audience was my parents since they would be watching my kids for me. I had to take in consideration that they would be up for about 18 hrs to watch the kids if I got a later class.
6)What are your writing idiosyncrasies?
I often use run on sentences. I like to use the words I, you, but and the word and to get my point across. I haven't had a writing class in over 10 years so I don't have any previous work to look at. These are the things that just come to mind right now.

Lorraine, you did a good job responding here. I, too, have a tendency to not break up my sentences. I was taught to make sure that each sentence conveys one idea that relates to the topic of the paragraph. I was told if you have more that one idea (or thought) in a sentence then it could be that the sentence is a run on sentence.
ReplyDeleteHi Lorraine. I think I am in the same boat as you are when it comes to being out of the game for awhile. I also have problems formulating sentances so that I don't ramble and maintain that they are concise and to the point. Sometimes we get off subject and it can take the interest out of the reader. Thats why I fond it a good idea to gather information first and sort of align my sentaces so that they are all on point and support my thesis. I don't think there are any english majors around here so I think we are all here to pretty much help each other out, but from reading others responses I think we are all on the same page.
ReplyDeleteYour resposnse to the rhetorical situation made more sense to me than the book did. (although I just read the teachers email that said I have the wrong book) Glad to hear that things are working out for you and your goal of nursing.
