Reflective note_Aleksandra Ushakova

The semester's just come to its end, and it's the best time to express my opinion about this course. First of all, I'd like to say that the course was something rather new for me as I'd never published anything to blog before. Initially, I was even slightly confused because of such a way of sharing my works, but then it became just a part of my weekly routine. Now I can say that I'm accustomed to this platform for sharing all the works I write. 

As for the things I found useful, there are some of them. For example, all the things connected with the work in Blogger. As I said, I'm not a blogger at all, so all that things like how to contract link or how to create your own blog were a discover for me. Also, I find the information about the ways of summarizing articles and writing for-and-against essays. Last but no least, the links that I was given are really useful. I mean the links to plagiarism checkers and some dictionaries. However, I really expected to discuss more theory in class as I find it rather useful for better understanding of what we're supposed to write about.

The next semester I'd like to learn how to write essays in more details. Besides, it would be interesting to know how to write motivational letters for the universities abroad or for some internships in Europe or in the USA. As for the themes, I'd like to discuss education, health and global problems. These themes seem to cause many arguments around their discussion, so I think it'd be interesting enough to talk about them.

    Hello Sasha,

    Thanks for your reflection. It was useful for me to learn about the aspects of the course you found beneficial and useful. Sure during the Spring semester we'll focus more on learning to write essays better. And, of course, we'll devote some time to practising writing some types of letters that you might need to write.

A reflection note. Torgalo Elisaveta

                                                           A Reflection Note Our semester is coming to an end, and therefore I want to leave my impressions about the course of studying academic writing. Firstly, I really liked the format in which our classes were held. Since we live in the modern world, I think it is very important to be able to use and process information on the Internet, and this is exactly what some of our lessons were built on. Thanks to this, I learned to look for the information I need and work with anti plagiarism. Moreover, during this semester there was a lot of practice in writing essays of various types. Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
