Assignment 1: The Introduction.

 This is my first blog! It's for my Junior Comp class 308J. MY teacher is Matt Vetter and he's one cool dude. My name is Rob Wallover and I’m a graphic design major, my hometown is Medina, Ohio. I plan on taking the skills I have picked up throughout the years of practicing art to Pixar-Disney. The most rewarding thing about English 151 was the amount of research we had to do because with the research came an amount of freedom for really exploring our topic. The least rewarding thing was it didn’t seem to teach me anything new about writing. It was very much a core class that just needed to be taken. The way if could have been more effective is that if I had done more of the readings, but we never checked them to make sure they were being read. It wasn’t a lot of incentive to do the reading assignments. I don’t think there’s any way I would’ve made the class more interesting. We were given a lot of freedom when it came to the topics for each prompt. A challenging part of the class was the research. While it was the most rewarding part of the class, it was definitely a reward for the work that had to be put into the research. It was a long process finding the amount of sources that we needed for each paper, about 8 for each, and finding new information that we could use in each source. Another challenging part of the research was using the information found. It was not a huge challenge but it was a basic challenge to put the information into the paper without just copying and pasting the information. My hopes for this class are that I’m able to expand my knowledge in writing and how I would be able to expand my knowledge of how to take sources and turn the information into my own words successfully.
