Revised Midterm
Coming into UWRT 1102, I came with the mentality that if would be a slow pace
course. I came to realized that this course was far from the pace 1101 came at me.
But I think the intellectual growth and maturity has allowed me to understand that
nothing is going to be given and it has to be earned through hard work and
dedication. I think phase 1 was 1101 and now phase 2 is going in sequence with this
course. I would like to bring out a fact I stated in one of conversations I had wit a
teacher that was my high school English teacher when she asked me about writing
in college, Ive gotten used to writing every other day and I feel a lot more
comfortable writing than ever. I think I was definitely being honest about this.
In all honesty, Ive got more curious about the topic I chose to research. I still
remember one of my first warms ups this semester I said This Semester I will try to
join some sort of club. Ive lately have had a crazy though of rushing. At this time I
did not know that Id end up choosing Greek life as the topic to do my inquiry
project. As I began to acknowledge the inquiry project of the course, I suddenly was
putting the Greek inquiry question in the air but as soon as I started to look more
into it I found a lot of interesting facts. For an example, the finding of how many
leaders of our country had Greek life background. Where fraternities are not
allowed, Communism flourishes a quote from our own adored Ronald Reagan is
very interesting to me. I feel like the perception of most people dont go with the
reality of Greek Organizations. Throughout the course I feel like I have engaged in
the course through research. The amount of questions Ive inquired from just
digging out there.
What is the perception of freshman college students about Greek Life?
To what limits should Greek Organization be tolerated?
Multimodality is a concept that can be used to express my way of thinking or what
Im trying to portray to the audience. Using the three column notes as a template*
has been difficult to portray a visual imagine to my audience. I think this has been
challenging to me. Even though I havent yet to find a way to use to give that
multimodality. Thru my classmates I have got suggestions about using different
fonts and colors to give my page some character.
Perhaps we have not revised or went through the process of polishing our writing as
much in 1102 than 1101 but I think later in the semester we will have enough
practice. I look forward to give good feedback to my peers since my experience in
1101 has made me a better critic. I think this can put me out of comfort zone. Why?
I feel like I might mess up someones paper with my inaccurate corrections from my
part. How will I face this problem? Well I hope to face it the right way. I will just have
to correct or suggest my peers papers.
Responsibility is big part of college. I think the adulthood mentality must be in place
in order to be successful and graduate. I know for a fact that I will have to be
dedicated and push against current at points. But am I currently taking
responsibility for my learning? I could say yes and be lying to myself. After class Im

I studying 3 hours for one hour of lecture? No, I sure dont follow that tip. I need to
work through the semester consistently and I think that will be challenging in my
part. In specifically pertaining to Uwrt, Im putting deep emphasis when doing
research? I think in part looking for mostly online resources can be good but not the
best. I think I should get up and go to the 7 th floor of the library and get print
resources.
