Improving Voiceover

I learned that it needs to be completely quiet when you are recording your voice. When there is noise going on in the background, it makes it very hard to understand what the person is saying. I learned that the medium needs to be consistent. If the person that I listened to wants to improve her video, she really needs to make sure that there is no noise in the background. There needs to be absolute silence. One way that I can improve my video is making sure that there is music to go with my voice and not just me talking. I also need to try to make it more lively and fun.

Mistakes

One big mistake that I have been making in writing this semester is redundancy. I have a tendency to repeat myself a lot to make sure that my point is getting across. I have come to realize that this is not a good idea. I have learned that I can still get my point across without repeating myself two or three times. Being redundant has caused me to receive a lower grade in all of my papers. Even though there are more things that I still need to work on in my writing, redundancy is probably the biggest issue. I hope that by the end of this semester, I will learn how to stop being so redundant in my papers.

Argument

I have seen persuasion on the screens of my dorm with the teachers telling us to go to class. They use pathos by telling us that if we do not go, we will pay the price or our grades will suffer. Nobody wants to start failing their first semester of college. They are persuading us to go to class in order for us to get a good education and make something out of ourselves. They have good intentions, and it makes it seem like the teachers actually care if we go to class. These photos have been really effective, and I really like them. They make me feel like people actually care about us.

What I love to learn

I learn to love about about sociology. It is a very interesting way to look at the world and is very interesting. At first, I did not think that I would like it, because I felt like it would be really difficult, but it has been pretty easy. Looking at the world in a imaginative way instead of just black and white is very different. It has caused me to look at things I never would have thought to look at, and it has also caused me to look different at things that I never would have thought of to look at that way.

Collaborative Thinking

I am on the fence when it comes to working with other people. I like it, because it gives people a chance to bounce ideas off of each other. It also may clarify something that someone might be struggling with. I do not like it, because sometimes people do not like to give their all in a group effort. They try to pick the smartest one out of the group and make them do all the work. Collaborative thinking and writing can be a good when everyone does what they are suppose to do.

Biggest Fear

My biggest fear in writing this paper is not being able to organize the paper. I am afraid that I will accidentally leave out one of the things I must have. I feel like I have all this information in my brain, but it is not coming out right. I really want to do well on this paper, and not knowing exactly where I want to go is frightening.

Daily Write 3

I learned what other people found interesting to write about. Another thing I learned was that the New York Times has links in it that can link you to a different form of the same story or to a completely different story that may be related in some way. I also learned that the New York Times is very easy to navigate, but the access code is not.
