The semester is almost over, I have to say that during this semester I have learned much more than last semester. I chose some hard courses this semester, such as macroeconomics, biology, and this writing class. Writing in English is always difficult for foreign students who come to the United States to study. I used to be afraid of writing stuff in English, but now I am kind of falling in love of writing. As you and myself can see through my blog that I have made improvements in writing skills during the semester. I have learned RAIDS, and it's so useful when I am thinking about how to start or how to arrange an article. Also, I have learned how to research. Doing research is boring, but when we are doing research, we could really learn something. Usually we do research for the paper, but if we spend time on it and look for different ways to research, it would be fun and we can learn a lot about the stuff we are searching for. In addition, we were put into groups when we did the remix project. Our group took a video about the international students' life in the United States. Although none of us knew how to take a video, we worked together and figured out. Finally a great short video was made. I think group study is better than individual study. We could learn together and figure out the problems more efficiently. As for the blog, I haven't heard any other professor let the students write blogs as one of the project. Although we have to blog twice a week, it's a bit fussy, we did improve our writing skills by blogging. I think it's especially a great way for international students to improve their English. During the process of writing blogs every week, I also got much knowledge about my field.
Besides WRA, my other classes went well too. The hospitality business class is fun, and I am so happy that I finally got what I am really interested in. I think I would keep working hard in my field and other classes. I hope I could end this semester strongly.
