Writing Skeleton: Assignment 2

Brainstorming ideas:

Why medical schools are moving to a flipped classroom style?
-Individualized work schedule

Popularity of lectures
-Standardized delivery for a large group of people

What works for me?
-Having in person lectures
-Working on my own would be a train wreck
-Work better alone (people with different priorities)

What makes for a good lecture?
-Interactive
-Entertaining (retains attention)
-Diverges from the PowerPoint but stays on topic
*At the end of the day, this could boil down to the topic at hand. The best experience I had with a class was when I was interested in the topic and the teacher was very engaging. It was also a time where I had a resurgence of motivation in all facets of life, so there is some underlying variables present.*

Writing Draft and Skeleton:

Introduction

Paragraph on why it doesn't work for me

Paragraph on the best classroom experience I have had

Review: Writing About the Media

I discuss my biggest fault in approaching the class in my final assignment. I took that as an opportunity to reflect on some bottled up thoughts that I had, revisiting the core purpose of why I enjoy writing. Reflecting on the course itself and the process, I found this class to be a different form of writing that was in the middle of the analytical, research papers that I hate and the free, creative writing that I loved. We took our own thoughts and ideas but integrated them with outside research on the medium.  I found it to be quite a roller coaster for me. The first piece was the one that I was most distant from (in terms of content at least). I'm not very big on pop culture or news, so writing about it was out of my comfort zone. I had to spend extra time researching since I was so foreign to the current policies and news, only just grasping a level of understanding to be able to whip the piece together. What pulled me through that assignment was integrating it with somethi...

Final Assignment: Video Game Categorization Course: Video Games as a Medium Professor: Guna Yerrabolu This course is made for students who enjoy playing video games. It revolves around playing video games and then analyzing the experience, so it could still be suitable for students who don't really play video games. A lot of the questions I got revolved around the requirement for 10-15 games. As I presented in the Research Tips and Tricks, this assignment is still feasible if someone does research. The categories don't have to be broad. So if they research gameplay clips or other people's reviews, the assignment can still be completed since the categories that the student generates are of their own choosing. Information Throughout this course, we have observed how medium can shape the message that a video game is portraying. We spent a majority of the class looking at specific video games and analyzing different components that made or broke them. In this proce...

Final Assignment: The Looking Glass

A Reflection on the Student Condition I think to myself at least once a month what it would have been like to go through college and actually take classes for the content. Being a pre-med student, I have valued the grade more often than the message. It's probably a common symptom of the system since we have to keep our GPA at perfection throughout our college career to impress the medical schools. My writing minor was supposed to be my step out of the light, it was supposed to be the classes I took for me rather than for those medical schools. The assortment of classes I took through the minor were supposed to be not for the grade. That's what I told myself. But with every class, I always have that anxiety at the back of my mind. Even though these classes give a freedom that I don't find in any other classes, there are limitations. I used to hate writing for classes. I went to a math and science academy where every History and English class was filled with analytical,...
