Signing up for a hybrid course was a bit nerve-racking at first, mainly due to the unknown of what to expect. I thought that it might be just a grueling, long class on the day we meet and then a few assignments throughout the week, all being lead ups to major assignments. I am really curious as to what kind of instruction we will do in the class, as I know last semester we had covered a couple of types of writing specifically. Those writing assignments cumulatively led up to the last assignment. Good participation in this class, to me, means that you voice opinions in class, when we meet. I don’t think homework should also be considered participation because then where does the classification end, having already been counted towards attendance. That would be a triple whammy, so to speak.

The form of writing that I most enjoy is persuasive writing. Honestly, nothing makes me feel great more than convincing a person in a certain direction. Nearly all of my digital writing daily is in the form of text messages and emails, if any. An app I use for social purposes daily is WhatsApp, and I use Microsoft Word for any serious writing needs. I cannot recall a situation where I have used multiple forms of media in composing.

When analyzing readings, I usually read the article up to three times to ensure I understand the author’s message. I usually take notes in class so that it can help me on the assigned writing, as it will usually have a connection. I don’t mind reading digital readings, it is much easier than holding text.

The farthest back memory of writing I can think of is 7th Grade, where the teacher would require us to write book reports. I believe I am strong in writing in vocabulary, and when providing supporting examples. The best piece of writing I wrote was a bio on Steve Jobs and the early days of Apple. The audience was my HS freshman teacher, but it reassured me of my ability to sit down and complete a large assignment and introduce great content.
