So today in class we went over meta tags and html. Also we got into groups for our video project. Our video can be about anything. It should be at least 30seconds to 3 minutes long. We will then post it on Youtube and compete for the most views. The ideas of videos we came up with is having a rivial boxing match with an interesting twist at the end. We also brainstormed a 2 on 2 basketball rivial game too. We are still in the cooking process of finding what our video should be based on. I think we should do something that draws attention and keeps the viewer interested. Maybe something funny or action.
My day went okay. In LLD1 class we went over essay stuff and got new vocab homework. Next in math class we went over the homework which i thought my professor didnt teach that well. So in class that day we had a lot of questions. Also we have a exam2 on Monday. I really need to study and do well on that exam to get my grade up. In muse class went went over our video project and prof. Dan went over meta tags and htmls. After class i went to work out and ran 2 miles. Then went home to pick up my brother and then went to his bball practice. Then the rest of the time i studied and relaxed.

Chapter 9 Express Yourself
Where i stand right now:
-I seek criticism from other people to improve the quality of my work.
-I can design and execute projects involving research.
-I pursue opportunities to practice effective communication skills.
This chapter is about different ways of communicating. You need to know your goals. Most of the chapter talks about writing. It says to brainstorm, ask questions, free write , and do research when choosing a topic. Have a thesis and gather sources. Organize by making a outline and make a rough draft. Make sure you have people revise and check it over many times. Another topic this chapter discusses is speaking and speech skills.
Review Questions:
1. A couple of ways that good writing and speaking skills can improve your job performance is when in an interview you will be able to speak to your boss with no fear and confidence. Also good writing reflects on your education and most employers want employees that have been educated.
2. The thesis statement is the topic on which you agree or disagree on and it is what your essay or paper is about.
3. It is important because it states your opinion or side that you are on and you are suppose to reflect off this.
4. Students should avoid plagiarism because using work that other people published is like stealing from them. You also don't learn about what you are studying or researching. To make sure you don't plagiarize look at many different references and take notes. Then combine it in your own words.
5. Some typical problems you might face in giving formal speeches is stuttering, shaking, loss of memory, sweat, and other signs of nervousness. You can overcome them by knowing what you are talking about. Be very familiar with what you are trying to get across. Pretend that everyone is your friends.
6. Some ways to recover from disappointing performances in communication to learn from your mistakes. If you never make mistakes how will you ever learn to be better.
Know Yourself
What are my writing strengths: making a web, getting ideas down
What do you need to improve: quoting author, giving credit, staying on topic, grammer, sentence structure, puctuation, organization, and repeating words.
IS this pattern typical of your writing projects? yes
What strategies will help you improve? going to the LDC, reading study writing, and going to my professor for help
Would it beuseful to consult with the campus writing center: YES
Your Journal
REFLECT on a bad speech:
the speech was unsatisfying when the speaker started rambling and stayed in monotone voice.
The speaker never made any attempt to correct the failing outcome during the speech.
I feel sorry for the person because everyone was laughing or sleeping during the speech.
Advice i would give is know more about the topic, get the class involved, ask quesitons, make people think, and dont use monotone voice.

Muse Workshop "Are you hitting the goal mark"
Today Monday September 21,2009 at 1:30pm I attended my first Muse Workshop in Clark hall. The room that we were suppose to be in had another workshop in there and they said they are going to be longer than expected so we went in to the "C" room near the entrance of Clark Hall. There was a lot of students that wanted to sit in this workshop, about 30 or so and the room was packed. Most of the students had to sit on the floor including me. Our instructors were Rich and Jen which are both counselors. The topic that we investigated was goals. We were expected to participate a lot. Some of the questions that were discussed were: What is your goal? What is a goal to you? What are some goals you achieved? failed? How did you achieve the goal? How did it make you feel? What motivate you? Lots of these questions we discussed as a group or with a partner. I also learned an acronym called SMART meaning Specific Measurable Action oriented Realistic Timely. This is used in choosing your goal.

How strong is your current ability to manage time effectively?
-I use a paper or an electronic planner to manage my time effectively.
-I regularly set priorities in managing my time.
-I complete daily to do list.
-I treat my academic commitment as a serious job.
-The time I spend on academics equals or exceeds the time i spend on leisure, play,recreation, sports, and watching TV or surfing the Internet.
Chapter 3 is about managing your time wisely and dividing it between school and leisure. Dont not waste time and manage your time effectively by not stressing out, be productive, have great self-esteem, have a balance life, and reach your goals. Set values and have a plan for each week, day, month, etc. Make sure your analysis your process to make sure you are doing good or bad. Never procrastinate!
I, Arlin Wong am going to get tutored and study harder for or by going to Peer Mentor Center, LARC, or asking a friend at least twice a week to help me. I will monitor my progress by watching my grades. I will evaluate my progress every week with my support person, Professors or mentorers.
