Homework 12/5 Unit 1 relection paragraph

Gabriella Leon

In reflection of Unit 1, something I feel like I could do better was to possibly just put in more
effort to proofread more. Something that I realized about myself is that I have a habit of jumping between procrastinating and procrastinating. That within itself is a problem because it causes chaos of an inconsistent pattern within the quality of my work. When I precrastinate I do better but I have ADHD so if I’m focusing on this one thing it makes me fall behind in other tasks. When I procrastinate I rush to finish and turn in the work so it isn’t up to its best potential. I also rush to hand it in so I won’t go into detail and review my work so I end up getting points knocked off for little things that I could have fixed and I feel like it makes me illiterate when in reality I was just trying to beat a deadline. All in all, I could try to put more effort into focusing and prioritizing important deadlines and giving in my best quality work so I can get the best possible grade.

Homework due 12/5

Your Final Portfolio project will be submitted a bit differently. Each week’s OpenLab post will count as a part of your Final Portfolio submission and will be graded as such, so make sure you are paying attention to the clarity and structure of your writing.

WRITE: Write a paragraph explaining what you would do to revise Unit 1, if you had the time (or why not). You need to mention what you got from the feedback you received (from me and from your colleagues), and why you would incorporate it (or why not). Post this to OpenLab.

REVISE: Spend some time revising your Unit 1 essay. You have until Dec 19 to re-submit this paper for an updated grade, but I encourage you to get to this earlier if you want to re-submit other assignments as well.

REFLECT: Part of your Final Portfolio grade includes writing a letter to yourself reflecting on what you’ve learned this semester (due Dec. 19). This letter should be at least 750 words.  Here are some questions to start thinking about before you begin writing this final reflection (it may be helpful to re-read some of your old OpenLab posts, as well):

  • What have you learned about yourself as a reader, writer and scholar this term?
  • How will you be able to use what you have learned this term and transfer that knowledge to other writing situations—either in college or in your community?
  •  How would you compare/contrast work you did early in the semester to now?
  • What was your favorite/least favorite assignment and why?
  • What are some notable lessons that have stuck with you after completing certain assignments?
  • What changed in your writing (reading, thinking) as the genres and assignments changed?
  •  How did you make decisions in your assignments about content and design?
  • What were your early assumptions/beliefs about yourself and writing? Have they since changed? Explain.
  • What was your experience revising assignments?
  • Was there any peer feedback that stands out to you and why?
  •  What was particularly challenging for you in our course this semester and how did you overcome it (or attempt to)?

Mitchell, Travis. “7. How Religion May Affect Educational Attainment: Scholarly Theories and Historical Background.” Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project, Pew Research Center, 13 Dec. 2016, www.pewresearch.org/religion/2016/12/13/how-religion-may-affect-educational-attainment-scholarly-theories-and-historical-background/.

in this article, the author talks about the earlier age of religion and the early age of education, and how all different religions help religion improve and affect education. the author talks about how all the different religions help education improve in some kind of way. because the Islam religion helps to improve mathematics astronomy, philosophy, medicine, and poetry. the Islamic religion always thought they would learn more about the universe they would get closer to god and all the other religions were big friends of education the people who followed their religion to learn more and get an understanding of the universe.
I think this article talks about the idea of religion in the classroom we all want to see how the religion that wants us to learn more about the universe and learn about the things we don’t understand. and not the way it is being implemented in the school system in the present and to hate everything we don’t understand and the distrust of science and scientists. because a lot of scientists are going against the idea of a god being real and a lot of religious leaders hate that. but the idea that is being talked about in this article and how religion was being thought in the past and the way it helped education is something really like, the way being thought right now is something I really hate because they just want control but not helping people.  but it is not all the religion’s fault it is the people in power that are using religion who have been using religion as a weapon against their own people to kipe a lot of them down and to stop asking a lot of questions and to have somebody to blame like the devil.

“Early Muslims made innovative intellectual contributions in such fields as mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, medicine, and poetry. They established schools, often at mosques, known as katatib and madrasas.31″
