What i did n did not like about the module study

Honestly i had the most best times of study in this module and really like the times a lecture gives to individual groups in helping then tackle what they have troubles at. I also love how Ms Lekopanye is more hands-on in helping groups complete assignment.

what i have learned

I have learned that in writing an argumentative assay, it can be written in both formal and informal language but normally for a formal academic study formal language is used in written versions or best/most used then, and as for informal language usage it is used more in spoken times. 

what i loved about the lecture

As have mentioned before, i love it more when all student engage in participation with the lecture. I loved the part where we as students took part in answering questions when differentiating  formal writing with informal, the part where we would lift the answers (YES/NO) in the air and most importantly compared to real life experiences.

What I did or did not like

I loved the energy which was in class and the practical examples we used in learning especially those of argumentative writing. I loved the positive atmosphere which was flowing more throughout the lecture room and the willingness of study which took place within ourselves as learners.

Moreover, i learned about how a person should follow the ways in writing in sequential order and how Paragraphs should flow smoothly.

What I have learned

I have learned to compare text, and now able to evaluate the importance of what the paragraphs are trying to say, and I have also learned to analyse so that I would be able able to understand easily what the writer of the text is trying to say.  I also have learned the difference between opinions, informed opinions and facts.

What I would like to see more in Lectures

Ways to reference because I really find it hard to in-text reference

TOPIC: PROCESSING INFORMATION AND USING SOURCES

What i learned about the topic

I have learned how to interact with sources effectively, how not to loose meaning of the original authors  idea when paraphrasing by trying to replace jargon with synonyms.

I also have learned how to identify meanings in essay or topic points in paragraphs, as to asking yourself questions like :"what the paragraph is trying to say".

I have also learned how to apply reading strategies like Scanning and Skimming.

TOPIC: PROCESSING AND PRODUCING ACADEMIC TOPIC

What i have learned about the topic

I have learned that there is always a structure or a way in which academic writing is done which is very different from other writings. I have also learned that Referencing is the most important part one needs to conduct when writing an academic writing. A student or a writer shall not take someone's work and present it as their own and it is always important to give credit to the Author.

What i do not understand

I still find it difficult to do in-text referencing and do not know how to go about conducting it. And i still don't understand how to go about making a difference in research while writing in own knowledge and supporting it with research.

Comments

I personally feel like having to do this blog, one gets more motivated if not dedicated to learn and most importantly one gets to be able to access themselves and find their weakness or strengths. This blog also re-enforces us student to re-visit our books and study.

Topic 1 : processing information - analysing

What i have learned

I have learned that in processing information, one needs to first draft for assignments then review or kind of edit the work you supposed to submit. This help me to identify mistakes I might have done while drafting then guides me of the points I am trying to make in the essay. I have learned that first drafts also helps me to collect as much points as possible and also not to submit untidy work.

What i did enjoy about the lecture

The lecture is always productive and has more fun learning ways in which we always have to be more hands on, and also the lecture always being willing to help where we don't understand.
