Week 8 Comments and Feedback



Feedback Cat

     Overall I'd say that my classmates are giving really good feedback so far. The comments that are most helpful to me so far are specific ones that give me suggestions about how I can improve my writing. I didn't do much of this kind of writing before I started this course so I always appreciate constructive suggestions on how to make it better. Suggestions like "Try making a new paragraph every time a different person speaks" are very helpful, and make the story flow so much better.

     I try to give the same kind of feedback that I want. I like getting specific comments on how I can improve my writing, so after I talk about what I really enjoyed about their story, if I see if there is anything specific suggestions I can give for them to make their stories even better. I am getting some good ideas to improve my own writing as I analyze other people's work.

    I would say that I sort of get to know people by looking at their blogs. I want to check my favorite blogs more often but at the moment I don't have time to do so. After this week two of my classes will be finished and I can do more extra credit and stuff in this course to finish early. I am very happy with my Introduction and I think it gives people a space to get to know me. I could add some more information possibly but I talked about many of my interests.

     Looking forward, I think to make feedback assignments more useful for my classmates I think I'll try to look harder for suggestions to give them, because sometime I have a hard time finding suggestions to give them. There are some very good writers in our class! I may go back to my Introduction and add some more things to it so people can learn even more about me. I also need to respond to comments on my Intro and my Comment Wall because I've gotten A LOT of comments on those since I last checked.

Introduction to a Future Cybersecurity Professional and Future World Traveler

Image
     Hello everyone, and welcome to the start of my blog! My name is Jackie Austin, I am a graduating Senior from Tulsa, OK. My major is Information Studies, and a cool thing about my major is that I'm able to do a lot of stuff with technology, in fact most of the core courses for my degree were online. The BEST class I took last semester was Cybersecurity Essentials, which was an elective for my degree. It was the best class to me because I got to learn practical knowledge about something that I'm passionate about. I've always been interested in cybersecurity as a possible career field. If any of you who are reading this are familiar with Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds, that's the kind of computer knowledge I want to have. I guess my biggest accomplishment last semester would be to have obtained an A in that cybersecurity course. I can't really think of anything else.      So I have a lot of favorite books/movies/TV shows. I love Harry Potter with all my hea

Week 11 Story: The Witch Who Saved Herself

Image
  Image of Babbity Rabbity      Once upon a time, there was a witch named Babbity Rabbity who lived in a charming house. She loved practicing her magic. She had to do it in secret, however. For these were the days of the Witch Trials, and any person accused of practicing witchcraft was usually killed.      One day she was practicing her magic as usual, and she thought she was doing it secretly enough, but a sliver of her curtain was open. A young man, who had been passing close by her house as he did everyday, glanced into her window and witnessed her reciting incantations. Face paling with horror, he ran to the town leader to tell him what he had observed. The leader, angry and frightened, rounded up the townsfolk and went to her house.      The witch, surprisingly, didn't deny the accusations. She was a witch and she was proud of it. She was a kind witch, who had never hurt anyone with her magic. They gathered around her, offering suggestions for what to do with her. &q
