- In my previous essays now that i look back at, I noticed that I tend to use the word "They" so much that myself couldn't go on reading my own paper. For example i use, "They are" or "they always", "they" and plenty of other ones. Using this word more than once i every paragraph makes me look like i don't know who i'm writing about or what. I also seem to go off topic and start to talk about something else irrelevant to the topic i should originally be talking about. Those are the two most important things i think i should really build up my strength in and hopefully my papers in the end will come back with a good grade.

Assignment #10 -10
Peer review we do in class is effective in my opinion. It has improved my writing in previous papers for the class and i hope it helps me to improve my writing skills and take them to a further extent. My strength as a peer reviewer is that i try to give the other person the best review i can about their paper so that they can learn from peer review and have a good experience with it and would be able to give good feedback from it. I find it extremely helpful to do peer review because i can see the mistakes i did that i probably would have never found myself. Smaller groups have a more significant effective because you dont have to feel so uncomfortable with so many people in your group. Two people per group is perfect. One more day of peer review would have a deeper impact on the results of final drafts.
Assignment #9 -10
Of the three assignments that we have worked on so far I think that the one we are currently doing now is the hardest. Reason why is because from my understanding we have to write a paper of us arguing against one of the three topics given. The easiest assignment would have to be the advertisement analysis where we get the chance to choose an ad to analyze and break it down to see what they are trying to say or what type of message they are trying to give to their audience.
My largest goal for right now would be getting through all of my Gen. Ed classes. The classes im taking now are a requirement to finish my general education classes. I am still undecided on what major because it is really difficult for me to stick to one major. I have ideas on what i want my future to be like. I have even thought to myself if nothing goes well ill join the Marines or the Army. But that is my Last Resort.
I have really enjoyed meeting new people that come from different back rounds and learning all the new way and compare how teachers are compared to instructors and professors. I would have to say that meeting new people was the best part. I have enjoyed my past classes at NEIU in some ways but i cant complain about it because Learning isn't always fun.

Assignment #8- 10
Out of all of the articles i choose to write about "Free speech outside of campus must be protected". But i will be honest, i have no clue what the article is trying to get at. Seems like they are writing and writing and i dont find anything so arguable about it. Seems to advanced for me and i cant seem to come up with anything. But What seems interesting about this article is how a student actually forwarded the post to the authorities. And how Tatro joked around about her lab class and how they stabbed someone with a knife. This caught my attention more than the other topics because i can relate to it more. Not because ive ever done it before but because it talks about college in some ways.
