Summary of source

                   My source is from the University of Connecticut's writing center. This source tell you all the elements on how to write a paper for Biology. It gives all the pieces and different assignments you could possibly need. It goes from writing a Biology reseach paper to writing a lab report. Not only does it just list the types of papers, you can click on a type of piece and it will bring you to a page with more information. This source is really going to help me because thats really what my paper is going to be about. I was thinking about writing a paper on all the different types of writing in Biology and how they are different. This source really captures that too. I feel like finding another source just like this with this one is really going to help my paper.

Rhetorical Situation Assignment

               The purpose of this assignment is to get the class to realize there are different types of writing based on the subject. If it's scientific then the piece is going to be very different from an english narritive. My purpose of this piece is to write paper with my major as my topic. My major is Biology. So with this im going to have to interview teachers and look for scientific research papers online. The audience of my paper is going to be anyone that appeals to the biology topic or anyone interested in biology as a major.

Analysis of an English 101 Paper

                      In English 101 we wrote a rhetorical analysis on an argument of todays pop culture. In my essay I wrote about the topic of abortion. We used a rhetorical writting format to make our argument stronger by using Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Those really helped our argument because it appealed to people and made them actually think about the argument. The assignment had to be persuasive and those three techniques really helped my argument be persuasive. My argument was a very touchy subject so I had to make sure I wrote it in a way of making people think about abortion in depth but without offending anyone. My argument was on the side of pro choice so I got to find out a lot about abortion I didn't know about. I feel as if my argument came out pretty well, when we did peer review it was really making the other kids in my group really think about abortion and that was my goal. I took this peice to the writing center and they said I didn't really hit the Ethos, Logos, Pathos aspect, that I should go back and revise that part. I did that for my final copy of my paper and it actually came out better than I epected.

Syllabus

                      The syllabus for this class was very explanitory which left me with no questions. My last teacher told me what English 102 was about and so far from hearing the over view of the class it seems pretty much the same as what she said. The only thing that I heard different was that this course only had one big paper, and over the semester we would be adding and revising. I was told it was a class on how to learn how to write a research paper. For this class there was more than one paper and it threw me off a little bit.

                       I think this class is going to be a little different but manageable. The whole blog idea is a great idea its just hard to remember to post a new homework every time before class. I hope that once I get into a routine of doing one every night I wont ever forget about posting my homework. I like how its an easy way to earn points though. This class looks fun and I am looking forward to it.

My name is Samantha McLean. I am from Niskayuna New York. Niskayuna is a small town right outside Albany, the capital. I came to the University of Louisville to study Biology to hopefully get into a Veterinarian school in Kentucky. With that I would like to become an Equine Surgeon. An Equine surgeon is a horse vet with the focus of surgery.
