Essay #3

I was doing research on Michael Jordan and many of the authors looked at him as an African American media icon more than just a great basketball player. Do you agree with this?

Downloading music for free or purchasing.

What is your own opinion on purchasing music? Do you ever think that illegal downloading will come to an end and what are some suggestions on how to decrease illegal downloading?

Essay #3 Topic

Does anybody have any suggestions of what i could write about with Essay #3? I need a good topic something that i can just go in on.

Essay 3

I'm having trouble writing my causal analysis paper, what I had will not do if I'm to write 5 pages about the causes an event. I need some ideas or suggestions. If not I'll probably write my paper on the causes of me not being able to write this paper.

College Writing

Hey class, i was wondering how does everyone feel about their writing at this point in the class. With me having two classes that deals with writing, I more comfortable writing paper than before.

I was just wondering you guys opinion on college. Do you think we should just go to college and take required courses in our major or take the variety of courses like we do now?

Extra-Curricular Activities

Hey class,

     I made a post before about what I am doing besides summer school and I am curious now. Is anyone else involved in extracurricular activities (i.e. summer jobs, sports, other classes not at A&T, volunteering, internships, etc).

Topics

I'm still having a hard time with a subject. After mr. Depolo gave me a good idea, i went to look for sources and i cant find anything that would really help me.

A big example of cause and effect

Watch "The Collapse of The American Dream Explained in Animation" on YouTube

paper # 3

So far i am having a hard time comming up with an topic for this third paper, i am not sure what i want to write about.

Are we safe on campus?

How do you think this 3rd essay will be? what are some of your ideas that you came up with?

Annotations

How does everyone feel about the annotated bib? My struggle is just trying to find a decent enough topic I can write about and find some good clauses.

Upon Returning

I'll be returning soon, back to Greensboro and I was wondering if I could receive some help from any classmate that will be in town. Dr. Depolo I've sent you an email but no response. Very little signal out here in Mississippi, with a whole lot on training. I get up very early, train all day, and lights out is at 10 o'clock. The load is becoming lighter though.

Length of Research Paper

Hello classmates, I am concern about how long the research paper have to be. As of right now, I have about three pages and was wandering should I elaborate on those ideas or keep what I have.

citations

This is the first time that I really unstood hoIw to write a work cited page In the proper way of doing it, this will I be useful when I take other classes when I have to writed papers I can finally cite it in the right way.

How many people like the freedom of choosing a topic to write about rather than having their assignment given to them? I personally would just rather be given a topic to write about.

What's up class? Just curious about what other summer classes people are taking. Other than this class I am taking a public speaking course with Professor Carrino. I'm enjoying the class thus far. I'm learning a lot when it comes to speaking in front of crowds. Our topics for our speeches have been interesting probably because the class chooses their own topics. For our next speech we have to do a digital speech. We have to record a an informative speech and upload it to YouTube. We have to include some sort of demonstration in the video like a "how to" video would. If anyone has any suggestions for a topic let me know!

With school and this job, things are a lot more difficult than they should be. I am taking two classes, counting this one, and a job on the side. I know school comes first, but I still have to make some time for this job. Does anyone else have school and another priority?

I need some advise and help for my argument essay. I am writing about the one and done rule in the NBA/NCAA. I believe that college players should stay in school for another year and then go to the league. I was wondering how should I approach college players handling their benefits they receive from the NBA?

I really don't understand why i'm having such a hard time with writing for this class. maybe its the summer? Anyone else feel like this???

How does everyone feel about this class right now? Was our first essay Hard, Easy, Challenging?

Have cartoons changed dramatically between the 90s and now? Why does Cartoon Network show the original Tom and Jerry in the morning then the new Tom and Jerry Tales later in the afternoon?

What sport do you think should get paid the most and what sport do you think should get paid the least? In my opinion I think that the sport bowling should get paid the least and football should get paid the most because of the immediate contact.

1 assaignment

I am enjoying writing this first assaignment it is allowing me to go back and look at my old writing skills. Knowing why you write the way you do will allow you to improve on you writting
