GOOD AFTERNOON!!

Good Afternoon Dr. Rivera & fellow calssmates,

Today two of our classmates presnted their quotes. I found both quotes very moving and most of all very true. I know that all of us can relate to it. This picture that I have posted is just a reminder of what we can be when we follow our dreams.

Randomness.

Right now, we're just waiting for a couple of people to present their quotes. I really don't know what to blog about at the moment, but so far today has been smooth sailing for me. So how was your guys' day today? Hope you guys didn't have a bad day. Anyhow, we just started the quote presentations. I think these quotes are very inspiring and motivating. It makes you feel good about yourself and makes you actually believe that you can be the best that you can be. It's absolutely possible for everybody. You just have to want it so bad so that you can act upon it. So that's my randomness for today. Hopefully, next time my blog will be more interesting. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Happy Adventure

KK, Wish you luck on your tour guide ambitions, and go slowly I hear were expecting some rain, and you might want to bring them to Chamorro Village for some
bar b Q's. Fruther more, don't forget two lovers point!! make sure you can still speak english when your done with your tour, okay, joking A. lou

Don't Be Late

Hey fellow students and Dr. Rivera! I was late again today, because I had an interview for TGIFridays. Hopefully, I will get the job. For the record, it is my second late class day for EN100. I will not continue this anymore. :)

Anyways, I'm going to state my quote and give it's explanation.

"No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and abova the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction." - Charles Kendall Adams

What the quote is saying is that people should not do what is given to them. Basically, we should do more than what is expected. If a teacher asks for a one page assignment, give them two. If you are asked for a ride from a guy that can't jumpstart his car, jumpstart it yourself. If someone falls and asks for help, carry them. Well, you don't have to. Just do what is expected and more. Because, that outlines what is given to you and the extra effort put in, which will be greatly appreciated in the short and long run.


That's all, folks.

11 RULES OF WRITING

1. To join two independent clauses, use a comma followed by a conjunction, a semicolon alone, or a semicolon followed by a sentence modifier.

2. Use commas to bracket nonrestrictive phrases, which are not essential to the sentence's meaning.

3. Do not use commas to bracket phrases that are essential to a sentence's meaning.

4. When beginning a sentence with an introductory phrase or an introductory (dependent) clause, include a comma.

5. To indicate possession, end a singular noun with an apostrophe followed by an "s". Otherwise, the noun's form seems plural.

6. Use proper punctuation to integrate a quotation into a sentence. If the introductory material is an independent clause, add the quotation after a colon. If the introductory material ends in "thinks," "saying," or some other verb indicating expression, use a comma.

7. Make the subject and verb agree with each other, not with a word that comes between them.

8. Be sure that a pronoun, a participial phrase, or an appositive refers clearly to the proper subject.

9. Use parallel construction to make a strong point and create a smooth flow.

10. Use the active voice unless you specifically need to use the passive.

11. Omit unnecessary words.

My quote!

" Seventy percent of success in life is showing up." -Woody Allen

I think this mean is most of success is showing up by our efforts or something, but other 30% mean we need to do something more to be success.
I succeeded to enter UOG, pass EN-085, and comunicate with my friends in English. My 70% of success are not showing up everything yet though. ha
My 30% of success are to be a rich to help poor children. I'm not sure that I can be a rich, but I believe I will be. I will try not to give up anything that I will face.

Brainstorm To a Brighter Day

Brainstorming is a great tool for finding new idea from deep within. Not everyone is great with coming up with ideas on the fly. Some people need just that little kick to get the ideas flowing. One of the best ways to do this is through brainstorming. It will open a diversity to the topic at hand and along you to come up with striking new ideas to better describe the subject. Brainstorming should be a tool that everyone utilizes from time to time, whether it be creating a new product or writing your term papers. Let your creativity flow!

Hi!

Hi! everyone :)
I was kind of late today, but I was lucky because I saw Dr. Rivera on the street!
So, I could make it. I have visiters from Japan today. I am really excited to take them around the Island!
Have a good day!

Blogging

I have never blogged before this class. I actually don't really use the internet unless I'm extremely bored. Blogging isn't that bad, though it's hard to remember to blog. Using the computer lab was a new experience. I was really nervous using the one that projected onto the wall. At first, I forgot how to get into blogger.com, but then Dr. Rivera helped me out, thanks, Dr. Rivera. I also had trouble getting the source for my picture, thanks Corey. As I said, I'm not exactly computer smart, plus I was afraid to do something wrong.

Quote in my words

"Unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen." -Phillip Adams

This is a short one and with my own understanding this quote means success will not arrive unless you make great efforts to go to strive for it. However, there will be a lot of obstacles on the way to success, but don’t be afraid to face them bravely. If you get strike down by those obstacles just stand up and try again. If you have the determination, you will defeat all the obstacles to success and get your final victory.

Never Forget to Blog

Blogging is a new thing to me. Being it an assignment for an English class, it hardly feels like an assignment. Rather, it feels more like an opportunity to talk to fellow EN-100 classmates about the class and the assignments we are given. It is fun, interactive, and a new way to communicate (in and out of school).

If Samantha never came to my work at Fuji Ichiban and asked me if I blogged, I probably wouldn't be here posting this entry at this moment. I always forget to usually blog twice a week. However, that bad habit will no longer continue. :) I hope you guys enjoyed your weekend, because I sure enjoyed mine. See you all in school this coming Tuesday, everybody.

Quote

“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.”
-Bruce Barton

This quote means successful people have only achieved their talent which was developed at their own time and in their own hands when opportunity was given to them.

human family under the sun

Good afternoon everyone! How's everyone doing today? Last Thursday, we met in the computer lab and started on our blogs. At that class, we read a essay called “The Struggle to Be an All-American Girl”. The title of the reading may suggest that the author-Elizabeth Wang would experience success if she became an “all-American girl”. She did whatever she could do about her transformation, but she failed. She felt so sad about it. Must she relinquish her own cultural identity to assume another cultural identity? My answer is “No." If I need to give advice to her, I will tell her a nice little proverb-“human family under the sun”. We all live in one place under the sun. I remember one famous person said: "As the world is moving towards the Global Village era, with freer movements of people and instant communications between countries, more of the hitherto homogeneous societies are becoming plural ones", even though the physical distances still remain the same. For our young generation, we embrace the whole world. We don't have to transform into another cultural identity. Whereas, we enhance abundant knowledge from different countries and different cultures. Just like I said, “human family under the sun”, we now live in a global village.

I hope everyone haves a great weekend and see you all on Tuesday!

First Day in the Computer Lab

Hey everyone,

It is already Sunday evening and only now I am posting my blog. I need to stop procrastinating! Anyways, the first day in the computer lab was pretty fun. No offense Dr. Rivera, I kind of like it better than the classroom. Just because I like the feeling of working on the computer while learning. However, this is now my second post of the semester and I really enjoy it. I find it fun having to do assignments online rather than written work. I wish I can have online assignments for the rest of my classes. It is way much easier!

See you all on Tuesday!

Hello!

Source: SohoLaunch

Hey Dr. Rivera & my fellow classmates!

This is my second blog for the week and I have to say that I'm glad to be working online. I've found that blogging is easy and fun. I like how we can share our thoughts and ideas over the internet as well as in class. Last time we met for class I wasn't able to post an image so I thought today would a be a good day to finally do that. I look forward to reading all the blogs posted and I hope that all of you are having a great weekend. -Sam

Computer Lab

Today was the first class to the computer lab. In today's class we blogged on the class blog and learned more about blogging. The professor had taught us how to blog, put images and write comments. I'm looking forward to a good and interesting semester and I hope to learn more in the future.

The Secret of Success Quote

Hi everyone,
This is my second post for the week, and it's about my quote. Here it goes:

"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes."
-Benjamin Disraeli

Not all of the people in our community has the opportunity to study in University of Guam like we do. In fact, as what my sociology teacher had said; that some people would trade anything to be in our shoes - to be a student. I think that each and every one of us here is very lucky to be able to pursue higher education. This is a one big step to our personal success in the future. Same concept applies to other people - people who works,and travels; and even the common folks. Opportunity is like a knock on our door, we just have to open it and grab the opportunity that will come to us. If a person continues to sit there, idle, hesitant to accept opportunity, he/she will not be able to experience personal growth and happiness of achieving something - of achieving success. You will never see what lies beyond anything if you're too afraid to take any risks. Being ready for opportunities that are to come to our life, is being ready to take the road to success.

That is the meaning of Benjamin Desraeli's quote for me, and is a very suitable motivational guide for college students like me. Hope my fellow classmates can learn something from this.

-Clare Sison:)

Reading and Writing

1. Reading effectively coordinates with (underlining, annotating and outlining).
2. Writing a summary is (the main idea in my own words).
3. Writing a reaction is a statement on (how do we find the story, how does it relates
to me, and my attitudes, along with my own personal experience, could there be a
more constructive way, to handle situations and maybe some recreational
activities, to keep the mind focus while confined especially if a day was set
aside for incoming.. like we do here on our Island, and to know that no one from
your family stopped by the institution, to show care and some support of your
wrong choices.
4. Writing a two-part response (is a summary and a reaction in two different
paragraphs.)
5. Documenting ( note down where you got your source).

Doc. Please beg my pardon, gotta get ready for church, and prepare ban nans for potluck. I will continue once I returned. You & Family in my prayers, LOU

Quote

"Success is not a destination, it's a journey" -Zig Ziglar

This quote motivates me not to think of success as a stiff goal in life. In other words, while you go for a ride: you might just want to enjoy the ride you're in. I'm loving my journey going to school here on Guam. Are you guys enjoying this possible long journey to educate yourself?

Through Dr. Rivera, I discovered how fun blogging is.

Something you can play to be creative and expressive.

I can't wait to see what's in my other classmates' mind.

It happens for a reason.

Well we finally met in the computer lab and started on our blogs. Fred and I came a bit late so we had to use our imagination and pretend for a while since there weren't enough computers. Thankfully, two cool people let us use theirs (I'm pretty horrible with names so drop me a comment so I can thank you properly :P). Anyways, like Dr. Rivera said, at least we have something to start our blog with. Then I thought, If we had come early, I think Fred would have agreed to give up our seats anyways. So, we pretty much just saved time by coming late? Hopefully that makes sense, but hey it happened for a reason right?

Anyways, the lesson today pretty much covered an essay about an all-american girl, who was actually Chinese. It was a bit long but entertaining. I got a bit confused on the ending, thinking she was sad for another reason. Oh well, I guess that's why I'm in class, to learn.

Good evening everyone! How's everyone doing tonight? Well hope everyone is doing their blog like there supposed to. Today in class was pretty good. We all had a chance to complete or go over our blogs in the Lab today. Now we have open an account for our moodle so don't forget. See everyone next week Tuesday. Have a good weekend everyone and please someone comment on my blog. I know my blogs are boring but at least I did it right.

Your Classmate

Hello!

Hello Dr. Rivera and my fellow classmates,

Today we had the opportunity to work in the computer lab and I'm glad because I would much rather type than write. The last time we met for class we weren't so lucky but, today is a new day. I look forward to reading all of your blogs. Today we heard a few inspirational quotes. I felt that the quote presented by Cory was a good one and I have to admit that I completely agree with his interpretation. There is always room for improvement, it's just a matter of us wanting to better ourselves. Since this is the last class of the week, I wish you all a fun and safe weekend and I look forward to seeing you all in class next Tuesday.

-Sam

First Computer Lab Session

It's our first computer lab session and not all of us have a computer, but sharing is caring. Two of our classmates have presented their quotes in class and it was very inspirational. I can't wait till I hear the other quotes and my classmates' interpretations. We should all write this down (especially me): Don't show up to class late when we have to meet in the computer lab. You might end up not having a computer.

Jaymi

Just wanted to give motivation

Hi Everyone. Would you like to give this couple a writing challenge?

Absolute English

English is not my favorite subject, but I have a desire to learn more.

Writing as a Stress Reliever

Today's the first day of class in the computer lab. I can hear many typing frantically. Today is kind of interesting because it's my first class where we have to use the computers and such. Anyhow, Dr.Rivera just mentioned that our first Moodle session is on Thursday. We have to turn in our All About Me Essay. I hope I do good on that one. I'm pretty sure I will since it's an easy topic. I've always found comfort in writing. It was a way for me to relieve stress. I remember always having a journal in hand for those somewhat even trivial times. After writing what I thought, I felt so much better. I'm sure I will broaden my knowledge on writing in this class. The class just started reading the book now, so I'll end this here.

Computer Lab

It's our first day in the computer lab and earlier Corey and Marlene shared their interpretations about their quotes. Corey's quote reminded me that I need to continue to succeed even though I already received my high school diploma and that I shouldn't give up and getting my college diploma. Marlene's quote was inspiring to me because it said that if we were to be shy in this world it's very rare to succeed.

Dr. Rivera has just discussed about our Moodling session and it's starting on Thursday. I'm really excited to start Moodling! I also can't wait to present my quote to everyone. :)

Alyssa

Presenting my quote.

It was my first day at the computer lab and my first time presenting in my EN100 class. When I first received my quote I thought, " Who is Jim Rohn?", and "Why would he say such a thing?" So I decided to do a research of him online. I found out that Jim Rohn was a inspirational business man who was known to help many people in their careers. I put my thoughts to his perspective, and it has helped me gain a lot. Knowing that we can do or be anything, it's all just matter of choice.

Thank you all for having me share this quote.
Have a good weekend!


-Marlene

Everyone has to go through a series of steps before achieving a goal. Hardwork and determination is the key to success. You have to work hard and believe in yourself. Do your best in everything you do.

When it comes to expression my images are always bold or artistic. Mainly because I've got alot to show and also alot to say, and now returning to Guam I've found great inspiration in representing my island with my company L.G. productions. In which even the term L.G. does not imply a family name, but rather classifies our music as Localy Guam hence the term L.G. productions. see lgproguam.com or myspace.com/lgstudio to hear our music!

Good Afternoon Dr. Rivera & fellow classmates,

Today was the first day that we met at Computer Lab Ec 202. We heard inspirational quotes from two of our classmates. It was very touching for me. To be honest, this was the first time that I ever heard of inspirational quotes in an English class.

Hi! Dr. Rivera and my classmates

Hi! Dr. Rivera and my classmates:

Good afternoon! My name is Zhan Hai and Odin is my English name. This is my first time using the blog. However, I want to say "Hi" to everyone. Moreover, I believe we will enhance more knowledge about English writing skills to reach a higher level with Dr. Rivera's helps in this big family. Therefore, by the end of this semester, I hope all of us can pass this class.

Have a wonderfull semester to everyone!

Best luck!

Hai, Zhan (Odin)

Hello Everyone,

My name is Marian Almeria. I 'm taking up secondary education major in math. I was in Dr. Rivera's class during summer and I really like her class, so I decided to sign up again. It was nice meeting all of you. Good luck to everyone.

ENG100 - Fall 2009

Good evening everyone! Today was a long and hot day. During class today we went over chapter 1. I did not have my book so I had to share with my neighbor. The exercises we went over were pretty easy. I am looking forward to the rest of the semester with this class. Dr. Rivera is a very good teacher and I know I will do well in her class. I just hope that the air con is fixed soon because I'm going to pass out in there pretty soon. See everyone in class Thursday!

The firstday of computer lab

Hi! Dr. Rivera and everyone.
I'm writing in computer lab right now.

I am Kaori. I came from Japan in last March.
My English is not good yet, but I will try hard to improve my English with Dr. Rivera.
I love to study with her because she helped my English a lot.

I hope we can be good friends!

Moving up from EN085

Hello ^_^
I'm continuing with Dr. Rivera from summer semester, and I'm very happy to join her again. I have already experienced some blogging and moodling which I think it is very useful tool for us to review, and express our feelings. Nice to meet you all!

This is new...

Hello there everyone! This is my first time blogging and I'm looking forward to doing more blogs. The first day of EN100, I was pretty excited. When 4:00 PM approached, I was getting anxious and wondering how my teacher will be like and who my classmates are. Were a small class, but I know we'll get along well. I'm sure our class will loosen up a little and get to know each other more. Time went by fast the first time meeting in EN100. The second day, we ended up starting class late. I was really excited to do some work in the computer lab, but I guess we all have to save that for next time. The second time meeting we all had to do work. It really refreshed my mind about annotating because I have learned that last year. I'm looking forward to learning more in EN100 and getting to know everyone in that class. See you all soon.
- Jaymi

A New Blogger!

Hello Dr. Rivera and my new classmates,

Terribly forgetting to do my first English assignment of the semester and not adding a posting, definitely does not show a good impression to the teacher. That is for sure a lessoned learned! I am really new to the whole blogging thing so I am trying to get a hang of it. However, so far English class has been really fun. I feel we can all get along well. Sadly, I was really looking forward to the computer lab yesterday and hoping, this time we get to go in tomorrow. The lesson we learned from the book on Tuesday, I got to know more in detail how to anotate and the correct outline for paragraphs. Towards the end of the class we all got to randomly pick a quote to interpret and all I can say is that I like my quote cause it is easy. I am definitely looking forward for class tomorrow!

See you all later!

Annotating and underlining.

Hello, everyone!
Class was pretty interesting and it looks like it's going to take a while for everyone to loosen up. We had a couple of volunteers to read but I'm hoping to see more. =)I honestly didn't learn anything about annotating and underlining during my high school years so I was glad that we went over the lesson. I loved how we got to pick out quotes and had to read over them and whip up an interpretation.Way back in middle school was the last time that I had to interpret quotes into my own words.I'm looking forward to explaining my quote to everyone. I didn't get to meet anyone new but I'm still looking forward to it! =]
Good-Bye, everyone!

Benjamin Fairless quote

source: http://www.gstatic.com

"What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and be a member of a team. In no country but America, I believe, is it possible to fulfill all four of these requirements." by: Benjamin Fairless

Benjamin Fairless says that there are four essential ingredients to success. I agree with all of them. Let's take the first essential ingredient: Choose a career you love. Who would want a job they don't love? Certainly, not I. Of course it won't be smooth sailing, the person who doesn't know that is unrealistic and will certainly have his/her plate full of surprises.
The second essential ingredient is: Give it the best there is in you. Anything you love you give it the best there is in you,if not all of you, otherwise you don't deserve it. You should want to give it all you have and squeeze a little bit more in there, too.
The third ingredient: Seize your opportunities. Do whatever you can to achieve your goals, otherwise, I believe, you will feel incomplete. Doing what you can is seizing your opportunities. Think of them as gifts, everyone loves gifts. Be selfish once in a while.
The last but never the least: Be a member of a team. In life you have to work with other people, there are so many of us. We have to work together in life to live and be civil. In a team, you cannot make others feel worthless, or else your team is no longer together, it is useless. You have to learn to accept other people as they are. See their strength's and identify their weaknesses.
Ok, I apologize for this blog being so long--I couldn't help myself. The last part, Fairless says that he believes that all these things can be fulfilled in no other country but America, I disagree.
I believe America is just a little bit easier than other countries, but it is not impossible in places other than America.
There you go, my first blog entry. I hope you liked it. See ya later...alligator(s).

Hello EN100-14 Class and Dr. Rivera

Today I am starting to remember more faces than I did the last class. I hope to remember each and everyone by the end of this semester, if not, then it's okay. I tried my best. I was looking forward to the computer class today, but unfortunately we were unable to have it. Maybe next class meeting or some other day, we could all be able to share our time in the computer room.
Today's meeting in class, I learned how to use Annotations . I've heard of Annotations yet I did not thoroughly understand how it is being used(I felt so embarrassed not knowing). Luckily, with the practice we had today, I had that dilemma of mine covered.

Okay, See you all next class!
-Marlene

Good evening EN100!

Well, after a few complications gaining access, I may now post. Tonight will be brief as it is late and I hear my pillow calling. Attending school should be an interesting venture. I have been out of school for over 16 years now and it's great to be back. I have always pursued studies for just the sake of personal advancement and now I get credit for it. That is a warm welcome. Instead of studying on my own now, I actually have peers to partake in the adventure. Feel free to contact me with your questions and comments as to why it has taken me so long to get back into school. I look forward to seeing everyone in class. Take Care!

Second class session, first lesson!

The first lesson was fairly easy, since I already had experience in doing annotation, underlines and outlines before. So basically the lesson was a recap of what I know, and it's great! Although I knew about those guidelines already, I honestly seldom use them back in high school. Back then, when I summarize an article, it will still be fairly long; but now I know that it's suppose to be concise and short! The opportunity to use the book, specifically to write on it, gives me more personalization capabilities, and i can easily apply what I learn without writing a lot of unnecessary notes. Another thing that's unique to today's class was the quote presentation - where we have to explain the quote we have in our own words. I like my quote in particular, because it's about success and I can apply it to College Life :D Another thing was I met someone in class today too, her name is Marline (hi to you! :D) means another friend! :D

Have a good evening everyone,
Clare :)

No Class Today?Chapter 1.

That's what I thought when we were waiting for Dr.Rivera in front of EC202. A friend of mine mentioned that if the teacher doesn't arrive in 15 minutes, then the class will be canceled. It was the tenth minute, and the door was still locked. I really thought class was canceled for today. Seconds later, people started heading to EC206, then I saw Dr.Rivera. The class settled in the room and we began our lesson. We started in Chapter 1. I didn't have my book so I had to share. I felt so bad for not being prepared.
In our lesson today, we covered underlining, annotating, and outlining. Afterwards, it was time to do some writing exercises. We had to share what we wrote, which made me feel nervous because my answers might be wrong. To my relief, I wasn't called upon-except for reading. Towards the end of class, we were given a quote, which will have to be interpreted by the dates we volunteer on. I'm kind of excited for this, it seems creative in a way. The class ended shortly thereafter. Hopefully, we will be able to have class in EC202 by Thursday. So that's what happened today. See you guys!

First Day...

The class is awesome. The teacher is great, my classmates seem friendly, and the work is alright. Even the blogging itself, I never would've thought blogging would be homework. I'm looking forward to this class, I'll see you guys later :]

En-100..HEy classmates, hope we all pass this class. well hopefully i will. I'm looking forward to learn more and be a better writer in this semester. I know its going to be a hard semester but ill try my best to pass this class.

Here we go again!

Hey, what's good EN100? Well, here we are at the beginning of another semester. I'm glad to see people made it from the EN 085 class, and now we can continue on our journey to higher education. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen in this class, and the new talents as well as new faces. I hope everyone will enjoy it as I will.

En100-Fall2009. New Class!

Hello classmates and Dr. Rivera. On the very first day of our class, i already found En100 as a fun and interactive course for everyone - even has an online Moodle Session, which is I am new at. Also with this Blog oppportunities, my classmates and I can share their thoughts with their peers and to you professor. I also think that En100 is a very unique class, in a way that students are getting hands-on experience not only in class but also in the comfort of their home. My first impression of Dr. Rivera is that she is a fun teacher yet we can learn a lot from her and I was hoping everyone can learn from her. As a freshman in the University, I am still adjusting to the environment, my classes and the people I'm with. I know that being in this class is the first step to do so, with the help our professor. :D Have a fun semester to everyone!

Best luck to all,
Clarence Sison

EN100-Fall2009

Hey Dr. Rivera! How are you? As for me, I'm doing great. I look forward to working with you this semester. Your class is my first class in the afternoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm happy to know that we'll be working online because I think it's something that all teachers should practice because technology is advancing so fast and I think people really need to get the hang of doing things online. Well, I guess this it for now. I'm looking forward to our next blog chat.

EN100-Fall2009

Hey there, Dr. Rivera!
How are you? As for me, I'm doing well. My first day of college was pretty hectic and long! Your class was my last stop for the day and I was exhausted and nervous. When I came into your classroom there were many other students and I did not expect the classes to be that small. It's definitely something I have to get used to.
You reminded me of my favorite English teacher I had my senior year of high school, you're kind and bubbly. After hearing your previous students tell the class that you were a wonderful professor, I was in so much relief. I did not want to be stuck with a professor who did not enjoy doing her job.
Making us use Moodle as a class a clever idea. It will help us to be more technologically literate.I'm ecstatic for everyone to start blogging and I can't wait to read their essays. I have a strong feeling that I'll make some great friends this semester because we seem like a cool group of people. I'll see you all next week! Have a wonderful weekend!

A Different Kind of English Course

When I first walked into the classroom, I thought in my head, "Great, another essay-writing, book-reading, sit and listen class about the English language all over again." However, to my surprise, it would be entirely different. I never knew that we'd be making usage of the computers as well as online blogging. The form of teaching is not just great, but also the teacher. To be frank, Dr. Rivera is a lot nicer than I suspected a college professor would be. Since this form of teaching is different to me, I hope I learn more about the English language as well as improve my vocabulary and writing skills. See you in class soon, Dr. Rivera.

Your student,
Frederick Varias

I Think EN100-14 is Interesting

At first, I was really nervous to go to this class, but all that went away when we were given the calendar of events. I think this is a really cool class to be in and the calendar of events is great! I liked how Dr.Rivera explained everything thoroughly. I especially love the Moodle days because we don't have to come to class, which is an advantage for me because I can find time to go to my rehearsals. I'm really glad about that. Also, I find blogging very interesting and entertaining because you get to read what other people have in mind. It's also a great way to connect with your fellow classmates. We'll see you guys next week. Have a great weekend!

My first day in EN100-14

Hello Dr. Rivera!
I enjoyed being in your EN100 class. I like the part where we are going to use more of the web as one of our assignments. I was pretty nervous being in your class, but I am willing to try my best to fulfill your expectations. I just need be more familiar with blogging and hopefully, I will do better. I don't really blog as much, but I do enjoy writing. I am also new Moodle. I hope we could be able to talk more about that. Just writing this makes me a little anxious of what is yet to come.

I look forward for this upcoming semester with you. :)

Your student,
Marlene

EN 100-14 FALL

Good Morning Dr Rivera! How are you? As for me, I am just fine. It was a pleasure that you are my professor for his semester. I look forward to completing my class with you. During our lecture yesterday in class we reviewed the Introduction, Syllabus Overview, Moodle & Blog and other collaborative tools to enhance in reading and writing.

Throughout this semester, I will learn different types of writing to enhance my future and maybe someday I will become a good writer.
