BLOG ASSIGNMENT #8

To many of us this was our first semester at LaGuardia Community College. Our cluster topic for this semester was about our Brains, Mind, and Consciousness. This was incorporated in all of our classes which were ENG 101, EN1G103, SSY101, HUP101, and were all brought together by LIB110. When this semester started I had no idea of what to expect from these cluster classes. I didn’t even know I was going to be part of it until I began school, and it was explained to me throughout the first day of college by my teachers. Nonetheless I was very motivated to learn about everything it had to offer me. I was also very curious about the different ideas each class had and how they saw and explained things from their perspective. Thinking about sciences like human cloning, robotics, and other types of technology was something I never really thought about or paid attention to. However in ENG101 Professor Dragan made sure to make us aware of all these topics and helped us explore all the negative effects as well as their positive. Throughout this semester I’ve learned to appreciate science and technology a lot more than before. In addition I’ve learned how to become a better writer when it comes to using sources like books, movie, articles, encyclopedias, and etc. Although at some point throughout the semester I did struggle a lot with writing essays and my research paper because I wasn’t use to writing continuously and specially putting my words down into a paper. So in conclusion it was a great experience for me because I benefited a lot from ENG101/103 because now I don’t struggle as much to write papers and I’m more fluent when it comes to writing.
