Hello. My name is Michelle Bese and I am currently torn between two majors. Engineering or Medicine. I am married and have a 3 year old son that consumes my attention while he is conscious. My weaknesses in writing are many. I have been out of school for several years and just recently HEARD about MLA format (still no idea what it is). I suck at research papers, because I suck at writing about facts. I have however been told multiple times that I am a good fiction writer. So we shall see how this quarter/class goes. Good luck to all.
Hello my name is Haley Anderson and I'm a freshman. I'm majoring in Liberal Studies and hope to become an elementary school teacher. My weakness when it comes to writing would be starting a paper. I always manager to get stuck writing my first paragraph. And I believe my strength would have to be determined by Mr. Woodman because I'm currently not sure what my strengths are when it comes to writing! I do however hope that after taking this class that I will become a better writer.
Hello my name is Tyler Moyer and I am a Freshman. I am majoring in Liberal studies and plan on getting a masters in special education, so i can teach high school. I would say that my greatest writing weakness would be the depth of my papers, sometimes it does not go as far as the topic should. And i feel my greatest strength would be my essays as a whole, there are a few details i need to strengthen. And with the help of Mr. Woodman and this class I hope to better in all the areas of my writing and research

I have two dogs a mix who is named trixie and a walker hound my boyfriend and I adopted from the SPCA named Tucker. My majors here at CSUB are kinesiology and exercise science. Once I graduate here I am hoping to transfer over to Long Beach University to get my license as a physical therapist.My weakness in writing would have to be my spelling and getting the writen assignment started. While my strength is using a lot of imformation in my papers. I hope by taking this class my writing and communication skills will be stronger. Thanks and I am exicited for this class.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I am an Anthropology major. I love to read and photograph people. I'm not a very good writer but i am willing to learn and get better. In my previous english class my teacher did help me in my writing skills and I'm sure I will continue to grow.
Hello, my name is Kaitlyn Sturm. I'm a freshman and majoring in Liberal Studies and would like to become either a kindergarten teacher or a special education teacher. I would say that my weakness when it comes to writing is starting my paper. It's always challenging for me to figure out how I want to start my paragraphs, but once I do I feel that I am a strong writer. I think that my strengths as a writer include being organized with my ideas. I'm anxious to see how Mr. Woodman will help me develop better writing skills.
Hello. My name is Gerald Lebrilla and I am currently a freshman. Currently, my desired major is the study of Psychology. Based on past critics, my proclaimed weakness in my writing is my overuse of unnecessary language. I believe that my strongest area is critical thinking and in-depth analysis of a given topic. Fortunately for me- I hope this class can fix my flaws and elevate my English skills.
Hello my name is Jessica Vallejos. This is my second year at CSUB. I am majoring in nursing. I have many struggles when it comes to writing. I always have difficulty developing strong paragraphs. Hopefully after the end of this quarter I will become a better writer.
My name is Nick, I work full time, school part time. I enjoy a few hobbies but mainly focus on work and school. Writing in general has been a challenge for me, but I've been practicing. The nature of my work enables me to read a lot, so I've been having fun reading different books: 007 to Walden.
Hi, my name is Charmaine Parubrub and this is my first year at CSUB. My current major is pre-nursing. I am planning to apply to the nursing program and be a nursing student by next academic year. I would like to be a registered nurse and after gaining experience, I would like to get my masters and be a registered nurse anethetist. English has always been one of my top subjects. Personal essays are my strengths. And as far as weaknesses, I have trouble with combining multiple pieces of work into one.
Hello. My name is Mayadah Saef and I am a Sophmore. I am majoring in Political Science, but I am still undecided on what I want to do. I have three brothers and three sister, and one of my brothers is actually getting married this weekend so I'm really looking forward to that. I am hoping this class wil turn out really great and a little easy to the point where it wouldn't be that difficult to get an A. I hope the best for the whole class and for us all to leave it satisfied =).
hey, my name is Aleks Razo i am currently undeclared, but thinking about majoring in business. I play soccer and plan to try out for cal state bakersfield this summer. i would say my weakness in writing is that i am not to organized when it comes to putting my paper together, and as for strengths, i dont really have anything that comes to mind.
Howdy there partner, my name is sheriff woody but you can call me Richard for short. lol jk. Im a lost college student stuck between two majors; Criminal Justice and Business Administration. Hopefully I figure it out soon. As for my writing skills, I suck at writing, never was good at it. I pray that by taking this class I shall succeed in writing.We shall see how that goes. So long my dear friends.
Hello, my name is Jessica Serrato. I am a freshmen here on CSUB campus and currently my major is Liberal Studies, but today i was inspired by a professor and i plan on changing to Criminal Justice. I do not have a dog, I'm not very good with pets for some reason. I did have two fish named Johnny Lingo and Kongo. I believe my weaknesses in writing are not finding the examples to support my writing and my thesis statements tend to be vague. On the other hand, my strength is editing and making my pre-write much stronger. I hope to gain better skills in writing.
My name is Pedro S. Naveiras. I am double majoring in Political Science and Philosophy. I plan on entering a career in law or government as I am a strong believer in civic duty. I have a dog. He is a Weimaraner named Vinny. My greatest strengths in writing are spelling and grammar as I get really annoyed when I see it in other peoples writing and even more infuriated with my own. A weakness would be that I have been described as a very boring writer. I don't really have any style; I write down a point and don't really add any flourish.
Hello,
my name is Samantha Gallardo, I am a freshman here at Cal State and plan to major in Criminal Justice. I am looking into becoming a private homicide detective. My weaknesses in writing are many. I have trouble starting my essay and writing my essay in an orderly manner. I lack organization skills when it comes to getting my ideas written down all at once. As for my strengths, i feel that once i start my essay and have a good idea of what i need to say about the topic i can get the job done quickly. I hope to gain some writing skills from this class and become a better writer.
Hello, my name is Chastity Nicole Duke. I am currently double majoring in Political Science and Criminal Justice in hopes of becoming an FBI agent. My weakness in writing is collecting research, it always gets me behind simply because I'm lazy and it's really hard for me. I believe my strength would be organization, I find it easy to put together my essay once all the "puzzle pieces" are complete. I love to read though, which I am looking forward to with all of our different reading selections. I hope this quarter will be successful for all! Oh, and I have a toy poodle named Bear.
Hello my name is Eduardo Monterrosas and I'm majoring on Business Administration. After i graduate, i want to to work in a high paying business , and maybe eventually start my own business. I have three dogs. One is a pug,another a french bulldog and one is mixed. I have my own weaknesses in writing, like most people, which include writing research papers and essays lasting longer than four pages.Well on the positive side i am good at intros and body paragraphs. I am determined to do well in this class, so lets see how this goes!
My group included myself, Kaitlyn Sturm, and Dominique Maez. For our description we choose to cite the first page where she describes how great the feeling of being right is. For our definition we chose to cite pg. 27 where she defines errors as something that is dangerous and humiliating. Last but not least for our exemplification we chose how she used an interviewee as an example for how hard it is to realize and recall mistakes we have made on pg. 20.
Sarah Garcia & Pedro S. Naveiras
Description: "This was the pivotal insight of the Scientific Revoultion: That the advancement of knowledge depends on current theories collapsing in the face of new insights and discoveries"
-Page 32
Definition: "The gist of the Scientific Method is that hypotheses which are then subjected to experiments. If all goes well, the outcome is a theory, a logically consistent, empirically tested explanation for a natural phenomenom."
-Page 31
Exemplification: "In literature, it is always the fools and the madmen who speak truth to power."
-Page 39
Group Raymond Perez,mondo ,Miguel orozco
She discribing in today society how we as human compare being wrong to being high. If you are wrong, the average individual would say "are you on crack" or " what are you smoking".(36)
She defines the word error as our tendancy to overwrite rejected beliefs which is the reason why its so hard to believe wrogness is apart of who we are.PG 21
She gives examples of the realness of reality by asking what if they are susceptptible to alteration by drugs, dreams and giving examples like the movie The Matrix and the book A Midsummer Night's Dream. pg37
Laura and Sabrina:
Definition: pg. 19 paragraph 2
"Mistakes may be defined as deficiencies or failures in the judgemental and/or inferential processes involved in the selection of an objective or in specification in the means to achieve it..."
Exemplification: pg. 10 paragraph 2
"Like the term paper returned to us covered in red ink..."
Description: pg.9 paragraph 2
"They affirm our sense of being smart, competent, trustworthy, and in tune with our environment.
Gerald Lebrilla
Olga Calderon
Definition: Page 14. "Phrenology, the now-discredited "science" of determining intelligence and personality through the shape of the skull."
Description: Page 23. "Our errors sometimes bear far sweeter fruits than the failure and shame we associate with them."
Exemplification: Page 14. "Phrenology was used to defend discrimination against foreigners, Jews, Blacks, and other maligned minorities."
Charmaine, Mayadah Saef, Amisha Patel
Exemplification (example): The story of how Ross Gelbspan, a journalist, mistakes Donella Meadows to be pregnant and writes about her in an article. Kathryn explains how he makes a mistake. PG 25-26
Definition: Plato’s straightforward definition of error: “To be wrong is to believe something is true when it is false, or, conversely, to believe it is false when it is true.” PG 11
Description (figurative): “What are you smoking?” or “Are you on crack?” The author is describing how we question someone who is acting/being crazy. The person is not literally smoking or on crack. PG 36
Hi, my name is Miguel Orozco and i am sophomore. I would have been a senior by this time but i took a few years off school due to some problems i was having. Now that i came back to school i do not know if i should continue with my criminal justice degree or switch it to business. i now have a lot of weaknesses in my writing due to being in a very long vacation. I hope that by taking this class i will get back on track and finish my degree.
Hi. My name is Amisha Patel and I am a freshman. I want to major in either Biology or Chemistry but I haven't been able to make up my mind yet. Therefore, I am currently an undeclared major. I hope to become a pharmacist one day. I'm not the best writer so I'm pretty sure I probably have many weaknesses when it comes to writing. A lot of the time I have trouble with transitioning my sentences. I'm also horrible with placing/misplacing commas! I don't know what my strengths are but in high school an English teacher once told me that she finds a lot of clarity in my essays. Hopefully this is true and I also hope that my writing skills improve each time I work on them, like in this class. :-)
hello,my name is Gifty Sackey and i am a freshman. I am thinking of engineering as my major but I think that might change.Most animals and I,have a mutual understanding of not liking each other. But besides that, I am open to most things.I look forward to better embracing the idea of being wrong by the end of the quarter.Good luck to all.
My name is Gabriela Castro, but I go by Gabby. I am a sophomore. I like to eat and watch movies, I also love my dog. He is Half weenie dog and half chihuahua and is extremely hyper 24/7. I have not yet picked a major, but i am leaning towards finance or business. My greatest strength In writing is that I write organized essays and my weakness is that It takes me a long time to think of examples.
Hello. My name is Laura Castro and I am hopefully majoring in biology. I tried posting this in class yesterday, but it didn't work so I'm trying again. I have a dog named Elvis and I adore him because he is the cutest thing ever. Elvis is a pug and loves to snore while he sleeps. When I write, I usually have problems starting the essay and supporting my thesis. I usually take a while just on my introduction because I don't know if i have provided just enough support for the main topic. Hopefully when this class is over I can write an essay without getting so nervous.
