My greatest strengths in World Building include: good comprehension when discussing the fictional world and how they work and making the connections from different stories in the same genre and then telling how they come together and/or separate themselves.
For greater success in this course, I need to stop thinking as a consumer and think more like the producer.
Computer Skills
My computer skills include Python and Java programming, a little bit of programming for flash games, and changing the picture for the computer’s home screen.
I still need to learn the more advanced ways of programming.
Research and Writing Skills
My greatest strengths as a researcher/writer include: Knowing enough about the topic to know what to search and write about.
I need to work on these aspects of research and writing: I need to work on finding any other angles to look at for the topic and try and refrain from acting like I am telling a story than doing a paper where I am supposed to draw my own conclusions.
I learn best & accomplish most when: I have more examples to go off of so I’ll know what I should be aiming for when creating the final work.
Action Plan
One class I can think of 10 ways of improving on is: Presentational Speaking
- Practice more on speaking in front of crowds.
- Memorize speeches so I won’t have to keep staring at notes.
- Try not to look too serious when speaking.
- Complete speeches sooner to memorize them more.
- Study my notes more.
- Know all things I should consider mentioning such as counter arguments in speeches.
- Give more descriptive feedback to peer’s speeches.
- Find better ways to find sources or evidence for presentations.
- Prepare for quizzes in a better fashion.
- Try and incorporate more pathos with my logos approach a little more.
