This is it guys, this it it-Our Final Farewell


Well today was a day to remember as it was our last face-to-face session with my fellow classmates. Today was also our potluck but people just brought snacks. Others also presented their websites, poems, and extra credit assignments. I presented my poems today after Rob, I think. Well, I would so love to kick off this holiday season as soon as I can. I want classes to be over because I'm pretty tired of going to school. Well, blog with you all on Thursday! Take care!

Potluck and last day of class.


I thought our potluck would look like this. It looks so delicious, right? Well, I'm thankful for what we have. I'm just glad that we are all here spending our last face-to-face session for EN-100. Take care everyone.

Almost done!

Today is potlock day and I forgot to bring something. We are doing an evaluation in class. People are brought drinks, chips and other stuff. I think we have one more blog to do for this class so have a good rest of the week everyone.

It's December?



I can't believe that it's already December! Times flies by really quickly. I can't believe that it's also the end of the semester! It was a great semester guys. Don't forget we have a pot luck today! Happy Holidays,everyone. :]

It's coming to the end

Please Note: Our potluck is today.

It has been a pleasure to have had this class with each and every one of you. I feel as if we're all one big happy family. I've learned a lot this semester and it's sad that it has to come to an end but I know this is not the last time I'll be seeing you guys. I'm sure we'll see each other around campus. I've enjoyed all the inspirational quotes and I hope today, everyone leaves class inspired and with more knowledge about English than they did when the semester first started. I'll miss you guys! See you all in a bit.

Finals Are Here

Good Morning: Finals are coming to an end. This semester was amazing for me, I enjoy myself. I will not forget my fellow classmates, they are wonderful students I enjoyed my company with them take care. See you next semester.

Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow is potluck day, I'm still not sure what to bring so I have to think and buy it as soon tomorrow. Isn't our last day tomorrow?, I'm sure I'll miss our class. I hope all of you will show up in class tomorrow, because attendance is still counted on our final grade. I hope you guys already know what to bring. Good luck and I'll see all of you tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving


Happy Thanksgiving guys! What did you get during the Thanksgiving day? I knew there were a lot places had very big sale. My friend got a labtop only 116 dollars in Kmart. I cannot believe it. However, when I went to Kmart everything was already gone. T.T So, I was a little bit sad, but I did buy other stuff. What did you guys get?

The End?

Not yet at least. We still have a party! I didn't really sign up but I'll just see what I can bring. Also it'll be time to submit our final essay/reflections. Also on a last note, extra credit presentations are also due on that day. I wonder if everyone's done with theirs already!

Thanksgiving


Hi Dr Rivera and my classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Last Thursday was the Thanksgiving Day. Happy Thanksgiving Day to all of you. Let me share some interesting things about Thanksgiving with you.

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. The Plymouth celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that became the United States. The celebration became an important part of the American myth by the 1800s. This Thanksgiving, modeled after celebrations that were commonplace in contemporary Europe, is generally regarded as America's first. Elementary school teacher Robyn Gioia has argued that the earliest attested "thanksgiving" celebration in what is now the United States was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Once again, Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Best regards,

Hai, Zhan(Odin)

Happy Belated Turkey Day

There was no class Thursday so I'll just talk about the day.
I'm pretty late, but happy belated Thanksgiving!
I had a potluck with my relatives.
For the first time, I brought my girlfriend and although she was shy and scared to meet everyone, it turned out pretty great. Other than that, I think I really over did it with the turkey and ham. Hope you all had good Thanksgivings!

HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING!



Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you all!

Source: www.api.ning.com
Yesterday was Turkey day and oh boy I ate so much! But it's okay! Everyone has these days, especially on special occasions. Anyways, on Tuesday we're having a potluck and I hope everyone sent what they are going to bring that day. I am so glad we have a Thanksgiving break because I really needed rest. School is just so stressful at times, we all need a little vacation. I hope everyone has a wonderful 4 day weekend and enjoy it while you can because finals are coming up and comes Monday, it is all back to business and a lot more studying. See you all on Tuesday!
Happy thankgiving to all of you. I hope all of you got to spend time with your love ones on thanksgiving day. I'm happy to spend time with my family today. It's going to be along break for me because my work study is over, so I spend most of my time sleeping, and I feel great, I get to rest all day. But I want to find work, so I can earn money rather than staying home. Good luck to all of you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, next week is our potluck. Hopefully everyone checked their emails and replied to Dr. Rivera and let her know what you're bringing. Also, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a good one. I know I did and all the hours put into making all the food was completely worth it! See you all next Tuesday!

Happy Thanksgiving Day To All


Good Evening; Just wishing all my classmates a wonderful Thanksgiving Day to all. As of me I had a wonderful time with my family today. Be greatful for what we have other people around the world are suffering so much. So take care and see all on Tuesday. Adios.

Have a Happy Turkey Day




Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope you all enjoy this time of celebration with your families and be thankful for what you have today. Enjoy your turkey guys! By the way, how long are we going to blog?



  Happy Thanksgiving, yum-yum turkey!  Go~~ turkey!  
I can't believe semester is almost over! Now that final is over, we all can start to relax from the pressure.  Though, I still have computer skill test coming up!!! (ugh) one down, and ready for the next one.   On tuesday, some of our classmates presented their final projects.  It was entertaining and I definitely enjoyed seeing some of the creativeness in their work.  For the mates who took the final exam, good luck to you!

Oops!

I found out that Robert isn't in the class picture!!!
I think we can take an another one in next class :)

HAPPY THANKS GIVING!!!

Final Exam.

Today was such a windy and gloomy morning. Bad timing to have my hair down, due to the massive gust of wind. I saw a girl smiling at me because of how the wind messed up my hair.

A side from gloomy weather, today was Final Exam day. I was able to be on time for the class photo. I nearly missed the photo shoot, due to rest room purposes.In the beginning, we got to choose whether to take the final exam test, or to just do a special project. Some of us did presentations, while a few, just did the test itself. I was finally relieved to have accomplished my assignments today. I signed up classes, presented my poem, and I enjoyed hearing everyone's poems and presentations.

:)
See you guys next class!

Final Due

In the class, we listened our classmates' poem and presentation of websites. I really love Fred's poem <3
Fred should put his poem in blog!!!

I want to share the class picture :)

English Final


Hello everyone.
Today was our final exam day, and just a few people had decided to take the final exam. I finished my special project for my final, which is the website. I had also submitted it to Dr. Rivera. I Hope I did well and also get a good grade for it. The semester is almost over, and I think we only have one more class left for our English class.

I hope everyone have a great weekend, and enjoy the Thanksgiving break.

Final Exam Website


I'm glad that I've finally presented my website because I just wanted it over and done with. I hope it could be of good source to you guys. There were a couple of technical errors during my presentation but everything went well. =]

Final!

For my final, I decided to write 5 inspirational poems. Sadly, I wasn't able to make it to class. I hope everyone did well for their option for the final. We have one more day left of EN100. I wonder what were going to do for our last day. There's a party? Please fill me in. Enjoy Thanksgiving break everyone! Take care and be safe.

Final Exam!!!

Great today is our final exam and this was not an easy one. I had to write a 20 page story in a week. I know I might get a few points taken off because I know it's not perfect but I'm just glad that it is over and done with. This semester went by really fast. I forgot that I was in charge of the party next week all thanks to Samantha! Just kidding it's ok. Hope everyone can bring at least one dish. Good luck on the final exam everyone and have a good rest of the week.

What a Bummer

Hi Dr. Rivera and fellow classmates. Today I wasn't able to attend class all because of my sickness, it came back again and this time the pain got worse. I was already in the English Building but I just had to call my mom to pick me up because I was in so much pain. Now I have to go to the doctor and I hate going to the doctor. I have to admit, I still do get scared. I really wanted to come to class today because I know I had to present my poems. Luckily, I chose the alternative option because I would have missed today's exam. So can you guys fill me in and tell me what else happened in class today? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks and enjoy your Thanksgiving break and for those of you who love to shop, don't forget about Black Friday!

Final Today!

I hope you all are ready! Today is the English final and it is also when all the projects are due! If you are taking the final, I hope you're studying everything from chapter 1 thru chapter 16. If you chose to do one of the alternatives, I hope you have all your stuff together! Also, because our potluck is next week, there will be a sheet going around for you to put your name and what you plan on bringing. Please don't forget to sign up before you leave class. See you then!

Final Exam Meet in EC 206



Good Evening. Tommorrow we meet in EC 206 for our final exam. Next week is our last session off classes. This semester was a blast for me I learn alot for Dr. Rivera. So take care I see all tommorrow. Adios.

Almost Done!

Hey everyone,
Are you all excited, but at the same time sad? I mean everyone looks forward to the end of the semester and plus Christmas is coming up, but it is a bummer because Dr. Rivera is such a wonderful teacher and without a doubt, everyone had a great time in EN100-14. Tomorrow is our final exam, and we all should be preparing for that right now. I decided to create a website and let me just that, I think I should've just stuck with taking the written exam. Other than the exam, lets talk about our potlock we were suppose to have. Since Samantha Rivo volunteered Samuel and I, I guess we are the ones who are going to be in charge of that. So, I'm thinking that the potlock planning will take place tomorrow, but it's not confirmed yet. I'll see you all tomorrow and good luck!

Handbook


Hi Dr Rivera and my classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend! This is my second blog for this week. Last Thursday we met at the Moodle room and discussed about the areas of the Handbook that we felt were the most resourceful.


In my personal opinion, the Handbook will help me write correctly and effectively, enabling me to say what I want to say. Within the writing process, this handbook pertains especially to the "S" (sentences) part of CLUESS and all parts (Capitalization, Omissions, Punctuation, and Spelling) of COPS. Everyone knows almost all of our writing will be in sentences. Therefore, I think the most resourceful areas are Subjects and Verbs and Kinds of Sentences. First of all, the two most important parts of any sentence are the subject and the verb. Moreover, simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex, The four kinds of basic sentences in English, are exceptionally useful and powerful.


I hope everyone has a great weekend.


Best regards,


Hai, Zhan(Odin)



After a few weeks, we will be having our final exams for each classes. Start now because there is a lot of work, I need to work on it. Right not I'm working on my website, but there are still 5 other subjects waiting for me. Tired weekend~!

We had finish our last moodle class. I cannot believe it. It was so fast. In this last moodle meeting we had talk about Ch 17 handbook. It is a really good for me to take a review any time. I was trying to sell this book after this class. However, I changed my mind. I will keep this book, and look at it when I have times. I think this book still can help me with my english.

Last Day Of Moodle


On Thursday, we had our moodle online session, and that was our last day of moodle session for this semester. Discuss areas of the Handbook that you felt were the most resourceful was the topic of this week. After we finished the moodle, we only have two more classes left of this semester. I hope everyone did well for this class, and we can all pass this class together.

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and see you all next class.

I got my grades and they were pretty okay. Got a C on my last test. At least it wasn't a D right? Final Exam/Projects are just around the corner. Hope you're all finishing up. I'm having some writer's block/laziness on my 10 poems,but I'll get it done. I almost forgot to blog! Just been so busy with work and school. Stay safe everyone.

A Beautiful Sunday!

Hi everyone, how are you guys doing? It's a nice sunday morning and we should be out there enjoying the nice sun! I almost forgot to post my 2nd blog for this week! Good thing I checked my planner. Anywho, I hope you guys are done with the projects and I can't wait to see what you guys did. Thanksgiving is almost here, and we should take advantage of that holiday to catch up with our classes or to take a break from all of it. After that, few more weeks and its vacation. Can't believe its almost over; time went by so fast. And for those who are freshmen like me, be glad that we are almost done with our first semester.

Have fun with the project and see you all on Tuesday!

May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you. - Irish Blessing

Good luck to you all in everything you do. I will miss this class. And to Dr. Rivera, thank you for having faith in us. I know that each of us are thankful. Once again, thank you and thank you all for the great semester.

Thursday, November 19, 2009

I was late for Moodle room. I had to do house hold errands, and then I feel asleep. I later catch the midnight showing of New Moon. I'm so bad. I just could not resist myself, but I'm making up the Moodle Room session today and also my latest blog entry.

The Moodle room discussed about the Handbook on page 377. I was browsing through the pages, and I would remember my English teachers from the past. I almost forgot a lot of the lessons. It makes me want to read it every so often, that way I wont forget my writing grammar. Its really convenient to have, its a good thing our text book has it.
Wow, it's the last day of moodle, and the last day of class is coming up soon. I'm really going to miss this class. It was fun and I had a good learning experience. Don't forget to show up on the picture taking day, so everyone will be part of the picture. I hope all of you are almost done with your project. Dr. Rivera's birthday is coming uo soon, so I just want to greet you in advance. Happy Birthday Dr. Rivera.

This is it!


Good Evening everyone!

Today is the last day for our moodle. It has been fun moodling and collaborating with you guys! But sadly, this is the last; so we better get our gears going and enjoy the final moodle. Anyhow, how are you guys doing with the projects or the review? I finished mine just yesterday and I was satisfied with my work. I just need to work on how I am going to present it in class. For those who did, and planning to do the alternative projects, goodluck with it and have fun! I had fun in mine while I was doing it, although it required me a lot of going back to the chapters and typing out the details. Good thing we are doing a website project in my ID180 class, and I learned a lot from my group in regards to constructing a website.


~Clare Sison

Last Moodle Day!

Hi everyone, Besides, the brakes on my car, I had an aunt's funeral, today, thankfully, we had moodle day, and I attended this event. The bad news, is I need to shop for a new car, only that it'll take an unidentified amount of time till I need to get one anyway. So, wish me luck, Take Care everyone, LOU Don't know why my picture image did not show???

Last blog

I think today is our last blog. I know for sure today is our last moodle session online. I hope everyone had a good semester. I know everyone is going to do good on the final exam because we have a good teacher. Thank you Dr. Rivera! See everyone next week, have a good weekend.

Samuel Roberto

What a Sad Day

Well guys, this is it-our last Moodle day. It has finally come to an end. We only have two more classes left and then that's it. I hope I do good in my final project which is submitting 5 poems to the Micronesian Poet's Club. Well we had to discuss what is the most resourceful part in the handbook and i think it's all of it. All parts play a vital and important role when writing. I hope I bear in mind what I have learned in EN100 so I can be much better when I move up to EN110. I wish you guys the very best of luck regarding the finals! Enjoy the weekend as well.

I have just finished my last bowl of Moodles.


I can't believe it's the last day of Moodling and pretty soon it will be the last day of the semester. Time flies by way too quickly. Today in the Moodle room we discussed how the Handbook has been helpful to us. It has been helpful to me because it refreshed my mind about almost everything that I had learned in high school. How are everyone's projects? Mine is going pretty well and I'm content with it. Have you guys been studying? I hope so! I'm getting tired and I have a long day ahead of me! Good night, everyone!

Final Project on going..

I just got home from the art class.  Wish I could've been seeing you guys today, but unfortunately we instead have moodle.  Well, nothing much for me to do besides doing final project for this class.  I hope I pass all my classes except math since I have already dropped.

Our last Moodle.

Today, is our very last Moode for this course. Make sure you all Moodle! I hope everyone is prepared for the Final and all of you should know what you'll be doing. Anyway, class is coming to an end and it's weird how at the ending of this semester, we all start talking and getting to know each other when that was supposed to happen at the beginning. It's better late than never. Take care everyone and have a good day.

Last moodle.

So today, we were to discuss what parts of the handbook we found most resourceful. Personally, I think that the entire handbook is resourceful. I believe this moodle session is our last moodle session so I hope everyone does a good job and I hope that you all post on time because like I said, it is our last one. Next class will be our final exam. I hope everyone was able to let Dr. Rivera know what they'll be doing if you have chose not to take the final exam. If you are taking the final, please be sure to study and review all the chapters from 1 thru 16. Also, the previous tests we've taken should be helpful as well. See you all Tuesday.
I hope everyone made up their mind of what they will do for the finals. I will be doing a website, and I heard from Dr. Rivera website is the popular one. I haven't started on mine. It's due on the 24th right? Finals are coming up soon, and I'm kind of worried of what will the final covers for all my classes. I'm guessing it will be from the beggining to the end. Wow that's a lot of studying. Well I'm happy to be learning again, after being away from school. I will sure miss this class. Good luck to all of you.
Hello Everyone,

How was your average grade? I think mine was good, but I'm not sure yet if I did good on test #4. There was three of us that had to stay back to take the test and I'm glad that I was not alone. My brain was not functioning that time, maybe because it was getting dark, and I have a sinus plus my throat was kind of sore. When I get those symptoms, I know I'll get sick, so I took tylenol before it's too late. Now I feel okay. Well take care everyone.

Class is coming to an end

Well, I don't envy those of you digging through the 500 plus postings to place the first comment on the empty ones. It will be well worth the effort to get the extra points. Good luck and don't forget to post you last moodle room inputs in for tomorrow.

Last Day For Moddle Online Session


Good Evening To My Fellow Classmates: Today is the last of Moddle session on page 377 which covers Handbook: Writing Effective Sentences we have to dicuss the importance of the chapter to my understanding all areas are very useful in writing a good essay format. This semster was a challenge for me I became a pro in blogging to my classmates in this semester. So take care and see you all next week.

What a Tuesday!

www.mediconeasystreet.files.wordpress.com
I was pretty nervous for the English test I had to make up because I honestly did not prepare for it as much as I should. Anyways, Dr. Rivera announced to us that we will be getting our grades the we have so far so we can see what we are averaging. From that piont on, I could barely even think of anything else other than what will my grade be. This is the first class that I got to know what I will be getting and it really made me very nervous and scared. I really thought I was going to fail or something, but as soon as I averaged all my grades out, I was so relieved! At the end of class, three of us had to make-up a test and we were held back to take it. I thought the test wasn't too hard, and I think I did pretty good. I had Dr. Rivera correct it afterwards so I can know my grade already, and it came out to be a descent grade that I don't mind. However, the class isn't over yet. There is still one more BIG grade coming up! Whoever is taking the writtten test next Tuesday, I suggest you start studying!
See you all on Moodle!
Kam

Something in my mind

My little inspirational quote for the extra points on test #4, first thing that came to my mind was-- "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."  This, I read it on a lighter that was displayed at KwangHwa store. (laughs)  After I wrote this, it sort of got stuck in my head.  I should always remember to be kind to others..

Almost done!

Hey everyone! So yesterday we had class and we were told that today is our last day to let Dr. Rivera know what we will be doing for the final. It was also the day that some of us were told where we stand as of right now in the class. I hope everyone is doing good so far. We're almost done so don't slack off now. We were also supposed to go over chapter 15. Read, read, read your chapters!

Today's Class

Hello everyone.

Today we had met at EC 206 for our EN-100 class. I had also received the grade of my test #4. How everyone did for this test? I just got B for this test, and I hope everyone did well for it. Dr. Rivera also went over everyone’s grade individually. Next class we will meet at the moodle room for our last moodle session in this semester.

I hope everyone had a good week.

Grades and Everything Else in Between

Hello everyone. Well today we met in the classroom. Dr. Rivera was giving out our grades but unfortunately, many people didn't get it because we were running out of time. Sad to say, I am one of those people. I hate how my last name begins with the ending of the alphabet. I'm always last in everything. So I am jsut waiting for Dr. Rivera's email regarding my grade. We were also supposed to take our class picture today but some people were absent. Maybe they went home because of that bomb scare. Yes, today was a crazy day because of that. Good thing I stayed a little longer and didn't go home because it was back to normal after a while. Well I guess I will work on my poems so I don't have to worry about it later on. Also, Thursday will be our last Moodle day. It's quite fascinating and saddening at the same time that the semester is going by fast. I have a lot of classes and classmates I enjoy being with and hope to be classmates with them in the future. After this week we only have two days remaining. Well I learned a great deal in this class and I hope I will further carry on with me the knowledge I have acquired.

Class grade

Good evening everyone! hope everyone is doing good in the class so far. Get ready for final exam next week. Today we found out what grade we are getting for the semester. Hope I pass this class, just need to do the exam and self reflection paper and I should be alright.

Samuel Roberto

It really is the other way around.

It amazes me how as a class, we talk so comfortably amongst each other, and yet we have so little in-class sessions. Hopefully things don't change after this semester ends. I won't forget you guys. :)

Today Dr. Rivera was showing our class' current grade status. I felt so terrified. I know I haven't been doing so well in those Chapter Tests. I thought I am one of those people who might have to withdraw out of the class. Thank goodness not. I am doing fine.There is still the Self-Reflection Essay and the Special Project. Hopefully I can make some difference into boosting up my grade.

Class picture!




We couldn't take our class picture today because some of my classmates were not there.
Which was good for me because I didn't wear nice clothed and I didn't bring my camera today.. hahaha

We will take class picture on the 24th of November.
I hope all of us will be in the picture!

Don't forget to put some make up on :)haha
I am thinking what should I wear on that day.

Love, Kaori

This is my second blog for this week!

Missed Class Today


Hello everyone. I'm sorry I was unable to make it to class today, I was feeling a bit under the weather. So, I hope everyone had a great learning experience today in Room 206. I will be sure to be in class next Thursday (if we do have another class meeting).

Today's class

We met in EC206 today.
I was happy to see my classmates today :)
We all got our exam back. Mine was so bad as same as last time..

I hope I will pass this class, so I have options to choose classes.
I need to work on my website today.

This thursday we will meet online:)

Miss you guys already!

Love, Kaori

Bomb Scare



There was a bomb scare today. I was in work at admissions and all of the sudden one of my supervisors went "There's a bombscare!! Everyone get out, NOW!" and we all ran out to the parking lot. We had to stay out for a while so I just went home. But from reading some recent blogs, There was class. Sorry for not being there :(

To make it up, I will have to read up on the chapter of Argument: Writing to Persuade, Readings for Critical Thinking, Discussion and Writing: Student Paragraph and Essay. I also have chosen to write poems/short stories. I would like to make a website but I'm not all too familiar with all the CSS work and HTML technical stuff.

I'm hearing that we also got our grades. I'm not too excited, I doubt my grade is good. Hopefully you guys did well. I'll see you next time!

Grades!



In class we all went through our test #4 and my grade wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. After that we went over our grades individually. My grades were pretty alright for a while but the last two test went downhill but I know that I'll be okay after my website gets evaluated. A couple of classmates and I were talking about how it's funny that everyone is starting to talk to each other and beginning to get comfortable with each other right when the semester is ending. The reason for us not being as close as we should be sooner we never had a lot of time in the classroom . It's alright though, hopefully if we have classes together in the future we will have a great connection. =]


http://ttoes.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/grades.jpg

Class today.

Today, we received our test. How did everyone do? I could've studied more material for the test. Right now were waiting one by one to see our grade average for this course. I know all of us will make it to EN110. Dr. Rivera said we have to wait alphabetically so that means I'll be one of the last ones to see my average.

Metting in Class EC 206 Today


Good Afternoon: Today we meet at EC 206 our topic is about Argument: Writing to Persuade, Readings for Critical Thinking, Discussion and Writing: Student Paragraph and Essay. Also we are going to finalize for our final exam with Dr. Rivera. See all in class. Take Care

Study Study Study

Hey everyone,
I just decided to write my first blog for the week just to get it over and done with. Anyways, tomorrow we meet again in our classroom, and I must prepare for it. I missed last class meeting, which is the day we had our exam, and because of that, tomorrow I have to make it up. So, I am pretty anxious and nervous because I told myself that I really want to get a really good grade on this, since it is our last exam for the semester. I hope I do well and not stress out too much about it. From reading others' comments on the last exam, it made me even more afraid and that I really should study my hardest for this one. However, other than that everything will be much fine. On Thursday, I believe we have our last Moodle day, and it is just so sadening. I am definitely going to miss those days. Well I shall go study now. Everyone have a wonderful week.

Moodle

On Thursday, we had our moodle online session, and that was the second to the last moodle session. Defending clarifying terms was the topic of this week’s moodle.

Three techniques for defining terms:
Definition By Synonym – using a word or phrase that has the same meaning.
Definition By Category – determine a large group to which the term belongs.
Definition By Negation – explain what the term does not mean. You can include a sentence explaining what it does mean.

Techniques for Writing Simple Definitions:
Basic dictionary meaning, Synonyms, Direct explanation, Indirect explanation, and Analytical or formal definition.

Techniques for Writing Extended Definitions:
Narration, Description, Exemplification, Analysis by division, Process analysis, Cause and effect, Classification, and Comparison and contrast.

I hope eveyone had a great weekend and see you all next week.

Discussion


Hi Dr Rivera and my classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend! This is my second blog for this week. Last Thursday we met at the Moodle room and discussed about our thoughts on the Writing Process Worksheet completed by Linda Wong.


Honestly, I thought Linda did a good job. She looked at a list of abstract for her assignment to write an extended definition and almost immediately found one that intrigued her.She had often heard people say things such as "I just can't love him(or her) enough ", and "It was too much of a good thing," and she connected those ideas with one of the terms: Extremist. Linda's Writing Process Worksheet shows us how her writing evolved from idea to final draft. She absolutely used all stages of the writing process to consummate her effective essay.


I hope everyone has a great weekend and see you all next week.
Best regards,
Hai, Zhan(Odin)

Definition


Hi Dr Rivera and my classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Last Thursday we met at the moodle room and discussed about what a definition consists of and discuss the techniques for writing simple and extended definitions.


Writing Definition

Most definitions are short; they consist od a synonym (a word or phrase that has about the same meaning as term to be defined), a phrase, or a sentence. Terms can also be defined by etymology, or word history. Sometimes definitions occupy a paragraph or an entire essay. The short definition is called a simple definition; the longer one is known as an extended definition.

Techniques for Writing Simple Definitions

  • Basic dictionary meaning.
  • Synonyms
  • Direct explanation
  • Indirect explanation
  • Analytical or formal definition

Techniques for Writing Extended Definitions

Among the more common techniques for writing a paragraph or short essay of definition are the patterns we have worked with in previous chapaters. Consider each of those patterns when you need to write an extended difinitions.

Order

The organization of your extened definition is likely to be one of emphasis, but it may be space or time, depending on the subject material.

Introduction and Development

Consider these ways of introducing a definition: with a question, with a statement of what it is not, with a statement of what it originally meant, or with a discussion of why a clear definition is important.


I hope everyone has a great weekend and see you all next week.
Best regards,
Hai, Zhan(Odin)

Sorry!

Hi Dr. Rivera! I know this post is late but I had a family emergency on Thursday and was unable to post. Last Tuesday we had the last test before our big final. The semester is coming to an end but we're not done yet. I hope everyone has made their decision on whether they are going to take the final exam or do an alternative. Also, I hope everyone was able to post on time. See you all on Tuesday!

My Website

I am making a Website as my final project. I thought it was kind of easy, but it takes so much time to type the sentences.. I am stil chapter 3 :(
I wonder I can finish that until 24th...

Tuesday's Class


On Tuesday, we had taken our test #4 of our EN-100 class. That was the last test we need to take before the final test for this semester. I also presented my quote on that day. The quote that I had presented was by Bruce Barton - “Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand.” I did not get a good grade for the first three tests. I hope I did well on this test, and I also hope everyone did well for it.


I hope everyone had a great weekend, and see you all in class next week.

got side tracked.


It was just about 10:00 p.m. when I flipped my text book opened, in decisive to start on my Vocabulary Highlights. First I highlighted all my words, then touched up a little bit in my bath room, and noticed one thing lead to another. It's now Cinderellas time, can I be excused?

obsolete, the act of not using any longer. I once heard in my summer class that computers will be obsolete.
perils, a reason for danger you can see coming your way. I would go around it, not head right in to it. With my marriage, I saw it peril shortly not too long after saying "I Do" I should have said, I'll Try! Four Good Years was all.
turbulent, is to take control of your balance. You've heard the balance of life?? yingyang.
In my chapter, no such thing, I didn't have a chance to ying the yang, it was diving right before my very eyes..Oh feeling sleepy now, good night.

Good morning: concoction,it almost seems like this word is obsolete, ya the phrase identifies that there was a history of lack of recognition, and explaining
it now, would not be the same, way of recognizing the raw material one needs to share or grief on, today, as one wants to lay it out in the open; and since the have committed each other for life sake, why, it's bothersome that one sleeps in quilt.,
ooh, sleeping in quilt, I can't do...
My husband is in prison only because he had a challenged of concoction that disturbs him every now and then.
erode, the act of washing away; or rusting out.
After typhoons, we need to save or salvage what is worth saving or it will erode eventually.
projected,to perform a presentation or project or make something become of nothing; a good grade.
There are 4 of us girls, working on projected presentation on Nov. 24-2009

The bread that we receive at church, is a symbolic of the body of Jesus Christ.

After this class, of EN-100 I will persist my studies and always think of Dr. Rivera as my first female teacher this summer 2009.

Project DUE on 24th

First of all, it is a big relief knowing I do not need to stress over a final exam.  I know that there is no way I can pass the final exam or even this class.  Currently, my time is occupied doing my project.  I chose to do web site which involves large amount of typing.  I don't mind.  I just hope that I can get most out of 400 points.  I discovered I was reviewing the study all over again while doing this process, and it is resourceful for me to have more understanding for EN100 course. 

Hi everyone.

I just came back from Moodle Room.I wonder if I get points deducted if I go online after 5:30pm? I would be so scared if I do get points deducted. Because I do it a lot of times.
Referring back to Today's Moodle Topic, it discusses about Clarifying Terms, or possible techniques in defining a synonym, phrase, or sentence. There was also a Critical Thinking and Discussion referring to Linda Wong's Writing Process Worksheet. I enjoyed reading her essay because I now know how to use clarafying terms in a paragraph form.

Hope you all are having a productive weekend.

Definition of a definition. Confusing?


Today was another moodle day! Thank goodness, because I actually had time to sleep and rest. We had to define or outline how to make a definition. Also, we had to read and analyze Linda Wong's writing process essay. These things did not really interest me as much as cause and effect or analysis by division. However, it is always good to learn new things. :) Everyone have a fun and safe weekend.

Final Exam Website


Hey gang!
I'm working on my final examination website and I'm doing pretty well. I find web design pretty intriguing. I thought that I would have a rough time but with my experience with the internet my website is building up well. What did you guys choose? I would like to know. Don't forget to Moodle everyone! One more thing, don't forget to sign up for your classes. =]
Good night guys!

Moodle today.

Make sure you all Moodle. It'll be one of the last time we'll be Moodle-ing for this class. Our last class meeting we took our test. How was everyone's reaction to it? I thought it was pretty alright. If you studied, then it wouldn't have been a problem. I hope everyone's day was great. Take care. See you all soon.

This week on EN100

This week had been busy for me. Piles of exam came and I'm done with them. And on tuesday in EN100, we took our exam, and I admit, I wasn't very comfortable with some of my answers especially with the outline. I know I got that one wrong.

For our moodle, our chapter is on "Definition: Classifying Terms". I have been having some connection problems and good thing that I already posted my reply for both moodle. I enjoy moodle days because it not only offers a break from the traditional classroom scenario, but we can also learn at the same time. Hope you guys done with your moodle.

Enjoy the week.

Second to the last Moodle Day:(

I love Moodle days! Unfortunately, we only have one more left! I can't believe the semester is ending really soon. I really like our class, the people in it and of course our loving teacher! However, lets make the best of it. Well today is Moodle and I have just finished. I am planning on go out tonight and watching the new movie 2012. It comes out at 12 o'clock midnight and since I don't have an early class tomorrow, I think I'm going to pleasure myself with a late night movie. If any of you want, you should come. I will probably see you there. Well I'm going to check with my plans and see you all next Tuesday.
Good night everyone!
Kam
Today was another Moodle day, and the topic is about clarifying terms. Well all of us know that before we write an essay, we have to know our subject. It would be hard for us to get ideas if we don't know what the topic means.

I hope that all of us will finally have a peaceful and stress-free weekend. See you all next week. Oh yeah, Dr. Rivera before I forget, I already completed my essay for the extra credit, so I'll be sending it to your email. Thank you once again.

Moodle Bowls

Aside from the dismal test we just took last Tuesday, we have Moodle today. The lesson talks about definitions, which is pretty important in our everyday lives. Where would we be without them? Exactly. Definitions help explain the world through words. They can either be simple definitions or extended definitions. Both ways have their own set of techniques and are both effective.

Other than that, I saw Alyssa at work today and I was able to "help" her, sorta. Haha its like everything that could go wrong did. Embarrassing but it happens. Sorry for all the trouble!

Anyways, the semester's almost over. I know I keep saying it over and over, but I just can't believe it. Maybe four years isn't too long.

Moodle Day on Ch.14 Definition: Clarifying Terms



Okay, so I just got done with Moodling. I am so worn out from the day. I just want to sleep already. Anyway, today's topic was about Definitions. Definitions consists of four terms which are synonym, etymology, simple, and extended definition. There are also five techniques to this. So on Tuesday we will be meeting again and I believe that's the time we have to tell Dr. Rivera what we are doing for our Finals. So what did you all decide on doing? Whatever it may be, I wish you guys luck on this endeavor. Have a great weekend everyone!

Definition Clarifying Terms and Readings for Critical Thinking, Discussion and Writing Student Pargraph and Essay


Greetings To All: Today is Moddle session and the topic is about Clarifying Terms and Readings for Critical Thinking, Discussion, and Writing Student Paragraph and Essay. To my understanding. Simple Definitions is a term without being abrupt and mechanical, it has several alternatives. And for extended definitions consists of many forms, among the more common techniques for writing a paragraph or short essay. For example it consists of Narration, Description, Analysis.

Test #4

Test #4 again was a pain. The questions that are messing me up are the fill in the blank because there just isn't enough words to figure out what is being asked. I hope everyone else is doing alright on these tests. Cya in the moodle room tomorrow. Take Care

It was terrible...





Hi, guys! How was your exam 4?


I feel I am not going to get good grade on this test so, I was so sad in English class yesterday.




But yesterday was my 20th birthday :)
So, I went out dinner and ate cake!


Well.. May be I had a good birthday even though my exam was terrible..
I need to start doing my webpages :)

What will you guys do for final?
Hello classmates! Well on Tuesday we took yet another test. I think I did pretty good since I studied hard for this. Thursday is a Moodle day. I simply love Thursdays because after my acting class, I can start off my weekend. Aside from that, finals are everywhere and it's absolutely stressing me out! I feel like I just want to pull my hair out ahahah. Sighs. The semester will also end pretty quickly too. I just hope to do my best, same with you guys. Don't forget to Moodle!

Test

Good evening! Today was another test and I hope everyone did okay. I personally feel that this was not my best but I sure did try! I believe Thursday is another moodle day but I'm not too sure just yet. However if it is, I hope everyone has a great weekend and please do not forget to moodle and blog because the semester is almost over and we wouldn't want anyone to fail the class due to unexcused absences. See you all later!

Test #4


Good evening, everyone!
How did we all do on the test? Well I think I did okay because I knew the answers to majority of the questions. As for test #3 I didn't do too good at all. No worries though because we have a chance to make up our bad grades with the Final exam or the Final projects. I wish everyone well on the upcoming exams! Take care everyone and good night!

Test #4

How was Test#4 everybody? I really wished I attended the test today, but I had a dental appointment that was impossible to reschedule. I even studied for this day. I hope I am able to make it up.
Anyways, moodle session is coming up hope you guys are ready! I'm going to work on my final exam grade. I think I have decided to do the 5 inspirational poems instead of the standard test.

Have a good day!

Testimator



Today's test was killer! It was definitely the hardest test we've taken so far. The hard parts consisted of the fill in the blanks as well as the true and false. I had no idea what the blank parts were, however I think I did fairly well on the true and false parts. I was literally drawing blanks. However, I would do my best to raise my grade before the semester end. :)

Bummer Tuesday

Hey everyone,
Today was totally not a good day for me. I was not feeling well, I had a horrible headache and I ended up not attending any of my classes for today. I'm kind of bummed that I skipped today's test. I studied well for that one. Anyways, tomorrow is another Holiday, Veteran's Day, and we are all off. I'm so glad for that because now I can catch up with all my classes. Well have a wonderful week everyone and study hard!

My first test was A, then the next was B, then just recently a C. Boy, I wonder what's my next grade?! Hopefully an A. It was a pretty confusing test, for me at least. I should've studied more. I should've woke up on time for the second extra credit day. I was just so tired and I guess my alarm didn't wake me up. Excuses Excuses, I just have to awesome on my last test. Hopefully you guys all did well on your test.

Test today!

Test number 4 today. Make sure you review the chapter and refresh your memory from the last tests. Some questions may be on this one. I know all of us will do well. Good luck.
