Week 8 Comments and Feedback


The feedback I have received back has been tremendously helpful. The most useful type of comment that I have received are the ones that are harsh. It is easy not to step on someone's toes, but I feel it is necessary to point out any mistake or shortcoming as long as it comes from a good place. Up until this point all the comments have been purely constructive, the comments urge me to challenge myself and do better. 
I have found that generally my comments pertain more to the premise of the story and focus less on grammar. None the less I am happy with my comments as I feel that they could potentially help guide the writer for future writings. Reading other peoples' stories has also sparked quite a few ideas for me to work with, and has inspired some of the writings already posted!
I feel that blog comments really give the sense of interaction that you would get from a real class setting, in fact it might be better since the blog comments can be posted at any time. I feel that the blog comments really add to the class and make it more complete.
In the future I will try to give more analytical feedback that may focus more on grammar and other fine details that can hurt a story.

I chose the info-graphic posted above because I feel that it gives a good idea on how to create constructive feedback. At the start of the feedback process I really struggled to create meaningful comments for others. This info-graphic was very helpful in guiding me through the process.

Introduction to a Future Chemical Engineer

Typical industrial fractionating columns,  Wiki-commons      Hi, I'm Brad Schoen and I am a chemical engineering major. The coolest thing about chemical engineering is the how connected it is to everyday life. Many of the things I have learned in class can be applied to explain the world around us and why things interact in a certain ways. The best class I took last year was momentum, heat, and mass transfer. The professor was great and the material was very pertinent to the world around us. It was also a very satisfying class to take because it wrapped up all the things I had previously learned: chemistry, physics, and math into one interconnected topic. It was eye opening to see all the blocks fit into place and see how important math really is for modeling systems.       I am currently in the process of reading Dune , by Frank Herbert, but my favorite book/series to date is Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons . I plan to read the next insta...

Week 5 Story: Sita the Demon Queen

Creation of Maya Sita, Adhyatma Ramayana folio, Wikicommons Sita has been away from Rama for almost six months since she was kidnapped by the Demon King Ravana. For this entire duration Sita had not heard a word from Rama. Sita believed with all her heart that Rama would eventually come and save her from the abomination that was Ravana.  Day in and day out Sita would spend most of the day praying that Rama would come and save her. She would pray to Shiva, Vishnu, and even minor gods. Sita was desperate to have her prayers answered. Sita began to day dream that even if Rama did not come to save her that atleast someone strong and capable would come to conquer Lanka so she could get off this dreaded island.  Weeks started to pass freely and there was still no sign of her hero Rama or anyone for that matter. Doubt started to grow from within Sita.  "Could Rama just toss me aside for someone more fair?" she thought.  These dark thoughts started to flood her mind...
