At first, I was afraid to take ENGL 201W because the class is “writing together”. I have mentioned before in my previous blog posts that I am not the best with collaborative efforts which is why I was originally dreading to take this class. However, what I found is that the class has improved my…

The lessons from this week regarding AI technology but also involving collaborative learning have been important for my career as a college student moving forward. I express this opinion because of the rise in AI technology.In earlier blog articles, I discussed how academics frequently demonize AI technology. Many of my fellow students would agree as…

On Thursday, I enjoyed reminiscing on silly policies my professors have made in my past classes. In my last semester, many of my professors were afraid of the uprising in AI programs and replacement of writers, “Job displacement is another worry” (Doyal p 4) especially for us young English majors.  However, as I discussed within…

At the beginning of page 47, Brandt poses a question that asks what happens to the legitimacy of old-fashioned writing when it comes to ghostwriting.

I am apart of the discourse community of students. I think group three is a discourse community because we collaborated on Kenneth Bruffee’s “Conversation of Mankind”. I learned that scientific learning refers to the hard sciences that are “established and maintained,” (Bruffee, 646). However, I do not believe that scientific learning is simply applicable to…

Hello World, I created my WordPress website on my phone on my bus ride home it is honestly not a preferable method. I would prefer anyone else to create their website on a computer. It took about an hour to get my WordPress live because I was creating my page while on the Train. This…

Today I built a marshmallow tower with my team Mitchie and Fatima!  We planned our tower as we went along I liked it t since this allows us to assess the situation. We tried to use all our tools and I believe the leader was Mitchie. Fatima and I were assisting them support the foundation of…
