QUESTION #1:    As of all the feedback that I have received so far, I would say that my baseline is somewhere between 3 and 5. The reason why I believe this is my baseline is because while receiving feedback I would sometimes get feedback for things or ideas that I thought were good but for other people it didn't seem to make any sense so they would give me feedback, but I would sometimes take it, or I would either not use their feedback. Having this issue sometimes it will make me feel not too sure of myself in other words I would not be expecting feedback from ideas I thought were good to include in either my essay or projects.  QUESTION #2:  If I compare my emotions to that of a medalist, I will say I feel like I always win 3rd place. The reason why I would say that I would win 3rd place is because I am always okay with it. Due to the point where I know that I tried my best and that will have to do. Another reason is because I don't necessarily play any sports so I won't

  If I have to think about the number of times, I revised for any specific topic then I would say not a lot. The reason why I would say not a lot is because before starting college I never really fully understood what revising was or how it was done. As probably maybe the first time I ever revised I would say am fairly new to it but am getting the hang of it every time I revise for my papers. I would say that as my writing it does reflect a lot on how I revise for a specific topic and what things I gather from my source is what matters and what really takes or is important from my paper is to know what research I will be using that is great with what I want to inform about my topic. And I do believe that how much you put into revising really can affect your writing process wither in a positive or in a negative way. As most writers are already masters of revising, they have a better way to track what they already revised but as for me I would say that am somewhere in the middle I have t

  QUESTION #1  The thing I would love to discover from my primary data collection is why would individuals as in college students find social media to affect them either in a positive or a negative way. I want to see what they think about social media and what they think are some affects to it.  QUESTION #2  The population that I want to target for my research essay is college students. The reason why is because most of the students use social media as a guide, escape or as a friend. Due to me also being a college student I want to know what other think about social media and how it is taking over. And I want to also know if am the only college students that thinks this specific way about social media. QUESTION #3  For my research question I will also be conducting a survey and there will be a total of 15 participants. These participants will have the option to answer some questions that I have conducted about social media. These questions are simple ones that include either a yes or n

  QUESTION 1:    After brainstorming my research question and thinking about a way to collect data I feel somewhat confident the only reason why I use the word somewhat would be because I feel uneasy about the whole research part. And what parts to focus on but I know I will figure it out as I go. Some obstacles that I think I might have would be repetition of ideas or words in my research project, but I will try my best to include a lot of ideas in my paper.   QUESTION 2:    As a student am new to finding my own research about a specific topic so I do think it will be a challenge but if I find good information or good research for my topic, I know I can write a good paper on it and get my message through to the reader. Collecting my own data might impact my value or message I want to get across. The reason why is because I never before collected data for any of my past projects so not really sure how it will be or what the outcome will look like, but I'll try my best to get as muc

    INEQUALITY Having inequalities in public schools are more common than anyone can think. Inequalities not only can go by race, but they can also be due to color, looks, and financial reasons. Most people would say that now a days there is more equality, but I disagree. Inequality still happens every single day maybe not in my school or yours but somewhere in the world a boy or a girl have or are experiencing inequality from their teachers or classmates.  Now a days having inequality in a higher education system (University) is not that common in my own opinion. For example, I don't see or hear any kind of inequality happening. But just because I don't see it or hear it does not mean it does not exist. It might be happening in another school but as of right at the moment I can say I do not see any inequality taking place in my school or around me. But inequality is something that we should all be talking more about but as we do nothing seems to be changing. But inequality is

Question 1:  My experience conducting research or writing a research paper in my other courses were always a journey a long one 😅. The reason why I would consider my experience a journey would be because I had to come up with my own research questions and well let's just say am not the best when it comes up to thinking of questions. And well don't get me started with how much time I have to finish my paper. I don't tend to feel pressure when my assignments are due but when it comes to writing any type of essay, I do tend to need more time to finish due to me not having enough information to finish my assignment. And well it didn't come easy to me to type 4 to 5 pages. But the thing that made my work a bit easier was the sources I found online, and those specific sources do help me find more information of the topic am researching. Question 2: My mindset right now in the beginning of the course knowing that we will focus on research is well good in my opinion. In other
