Reflection 1


When I joined the class at the first day of the semester I was not excited and I thought it would be hard class for me because I had some problems with summarizing article since I was in the high school.

This class was a challenge for me because if I learned how to summarize in correct way it will help in the other classes or in my job in the future. Day after day I start enjoying the class also I figure out how summarize starting with reading whole article then write the main idea for each paragraph after that organize the main ideas and summarize the article in our own words. After we summarize we have to put the reference and how to find it we have two ways first one is to write the title of article the second one is to write the first sentence of the article in googel.com. After we learned how to find reference we learned how to use bibme.com and how to put the URL and article writer name and the date but, the hardest part for me was the quotations I had a little problems in which sentence I should to take and where I have to put it but after we practice at the class it seems easy now.

All the works we did in the class were helpful for all of us. Mr. Gregory was the reason why I liked the class so much, he is very helpful and very patient, he explains every thing we need and delivered the points in the best ways. I really enjoyed the class and I want to learn more until the end of the semester.
