Initial Class Reflection

      During my time at city tech, I have been required to research multiple different topics from medical applications of 3D printing to supporting topics for an English paper.  I would say from my experience in the college I have a decent understanding of how to research different topics.  while I may be able to find sources for a paper I may be writing, I am not the best at putting those sources onto paper.

My expectation for this class toward my major is that it will hopefully teach me more about the city that I will be working in and may give me the history of a place I could be working at in the future.  I hope that it may give me an idea about New York city’s history behind some of its most famous buildings and being able to see those buildings outside of the class room.

Initial Reflection

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

My level of experience doing research in college is low. I only had one research class a year ago and I might forget the steps to do it. I believe there are many more things I need to learn about doing research paper.

 

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

My expectation for this class supporting my classes in my major is it will help me get through more research paper in other classes in a better way. Also, improving my English skills of writing the papers.

Reflection 1

-How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

-What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

Doing research has been a good experience so far for me. Even though the research that I did was related with English Language and social issues topic (that are not my main interests), I enjoyed reading articles or visiting newspapers’ websites to find the information that made me reflect and sensitive to the particular topics.

At first I heard about this class from other Architecture students and then I was interested to be part of this class. Being that I am still relatively a new resident of New York City and an architecture student, I am really expecting that this class helps me with knowing/learning about new places in NY.  I also enjoy hand free sketching so I hope that will be part of our site visits.

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

My level of experience while doing research in college would be on the basis of intermediate to advance in my opinion. Research is necessary for everything, we do from educational to personal life. While in the New York City College of Technology, I have been spending 5 years of my life completing the Associates of Computer Science and now completing the Bachelor of Computer Systems. Research on long length papers and miscellaneous tasks is not new to me.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

My expectation for this class to support my classes in my major is to assist on the fact that research-based classwork uses social skills allowing further expectations for further educational purposes.

Initial class reflection

How would you rate your level of experience doing research doing research in college?

My level of experience doing research in college is fairly good. I have had other classes that ask me to do research papers. So I have gained experience in doing them. I also like to read and be informed in order to do good in my research papers. When doing research you always look for supporting sources and evidence which I find easy.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your class in your major?

My expectation for this class is to learn and understand cities just like the name of this class. I also acknowledge that my major consist of a diverse population. We also have different locations for our agencies.  I would love to learn more about the world and see the connection there are. I also expect to improve my way of doing research papers.

Initial Class Reflection

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

I would rate my level of research experience on an intermediate scale. I have done a lot of research based on various topics throughout my middle school, high school, and college experience. I have learned a lot about databases, catalogs, and Google Scholar, as well as sourcing my evidence and on what types of papers to write between MLA and APA formats. I also do personal research on general topics and questions that I may have personally.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

My expectation for this class in support of my major is the visual reference and inspirations and may come across. I am majoring in Communication Design with concentrations in Graphic Design, Illustration, and Animation. Since we are going into the field to learn about our city, I can come across many opportunities to think about what to include in my work. I am also looking forward to learning more research skills when I start work with a broader range of clients who may be focused on fields of study that I am unfamiliar with.

INITIAL CLASS REFLECTION

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

I believe my level of experience doing research in college is advanced due  to completing many research papers in my college experience so far. I have completed many computer science and writing research papers for my writing and major classes.

 

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

I expect this class will help my major by providing real world experience and a different learning environment outside of the virtual world (behind a computer screen). I believe this class with equip me with general knowledge of our city to give me a well rounded education.

Reflection

  1. I would rate my research experience as intermediate. i have done many research when i took English classes and sometimes i do research in some of my architecture classes.
  2. Since i major in architectural technology, my expectations is to understand cities better and how they work.  also, the history of cities and how they developed to become what they are today.

Initial Class Reflection

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

I would rate my level of experience doing research in college a 5-6. I have done research for introductory English courses and electives. I don’t believe I understand the research process well, I have room for improvement.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

I am expecting to literally understand the city in a more logistic manner. I also expect to become better at researching material specially useful for field of study. I appreciate learning and knowledge but often times the sources are hard to find and filter.
