Journal week #3 -- Responding Post by Eddie

What I already knew­
Due to there was only one class this week and pretty much materials that covered. So I did the review with the stuffs Marc posted in order to have a clue on what lecture would be taking about.

What I still wonder­
Summarizing is a tough one for what we learn this week. I have difficult on changing the word from the original article because of my low vocabulary. For the context of a business letter, I still need to work on it with how to define the writing style that need to be used for different readers.

What I learned­
As I said before, there is many materials this week, like business letter format, relationship system, summary, etc. I learned a lot from the lecture. For example, I never knew that there is any difference between summary and abstract which now are very clear to me. Also DISR and 10 summary writing steps helped me knowing how a good summary should be done.

How I participated­
On Wednesdays class, Marc asked us to define the meaning of value for being a student and then let us get into groups who had the similar understanding of it. In this part, I learned that the thought for one word or one thing can be different as the situation changed. And at the end of class, we were summarizing an article, then comparing it with partners. It was good to know
the different ideas from other people which could help me knowing the part I didn’t think of. However, I forgot to print the reading we were supposing to analyze with.
