week 8

This week was very difficult for me. I have two midterms and a quiz. My midterms were sociology and history, therefore I have lots of subjects to study. However, everything came to an end. The midterms were not bad, I hope I will get a good grade.

On comm.101, on Monday morning, I went to Mr. O'Regan's office to talk about my first draft. I have lots of mistakes an many of them were tense and wrong word. I also answered the third question wrong. On Wednesday, Mr. O'Regan talked about the third question and gave us some ideas how we will answer it.We seperated the 3rd question into 3 parts to answer easily.

I paid attention what we did on Monday and Wednesday woks and what we talked about Mr. O'Regan and wrote my second draft. I hope this essay brings me a good grade. And then I will have a very good spring break :)

week 4

This week was very busy for me, I have 1 midterm and 2 quizzes on the same day and I did not want to remember how to study on that day. That day was a nigthmare to me but I am glad now because it was finished.On the communication, lessons were enjoyable for me.We talked about reading which we have to write an essay about it.Actually I am not really sure about the topic.I read it and took a note but still not sure that what they told.Is the internet reduce social involvement and pyschological well- being or increase social involvement and psychological well-being.
We talked about positive and negative effects about internet in social involvement and psychological well-being. That was help me to understand but I am still anxious about the essay. Because I have to write at least three pages and I do not know how to write it like that lenght. I hope this week will help me to understand the topic much better. And I am still very glad to join on Mr. O'Regan's class because the lessons were very enjoyable for me I hope this will last at the end of this semester.

week 3

This week lesson's were so forcible that I understood the lessons were started. Last week I said when we would started to discuss the reading about 'seductive space'. This week we discussed and also tried to answer some questions. However, I understood that I did not read it good enough to answer the questions. I thought that I got 80 points from the qıiz that Mr. O'Regan handed out and I gave my answer paper back to Mr O'Regan for checking.

On wednesday when Mr O'Regan came to class and told that I got an only 50 points. When I heard this I was miserable because I thought that I read it perfect and I did well enough to get a good grade but I was wrong.
After that Mr. O'Regan talked about the new reading that we have to. It would be more difficult than 'the seductive space'. When I heard this I did not know what to do because this reading would be for our first essay. I have to read it more carefully and take an extra note. After the talking about reading we became a group and discussed the questions about internet. This exercise was good for me because I met new persons from class which I did not know before.

When I came at home I started to read the new reading about 'internet paradox'.First I was anxious because I have lots of things to do and I have a midterm to study.Therefore, I was nervous becuase I must read this reading very well , it was important to get a good grade from first essay. When I started to read,it was very easy to continue. The topic was very interesting for me because my major is sociology and I love to read about science for person and community. Now I finished the reading, and I hope this is not bring me the same reason that fisrt reading did.
