Week 16

This semester, I believe I have picked up much of the poop that I believe you wanted us to grasp. I have learned to reed complex material, and rite “with style.” As I snicker cleverly to myself, I wonder, “have you enjoyed reeding my papers as much as I enjoyed riting them?”
I am only keeding. If you examine it to the bone, I’m sure you’ll realize it was all just an incredibly humerus joke. This is not one of those end-of-the-year papers written to get back at the teacher, I was just pulling your femur.

In all seriousness, I have enjoyed this class and have enjoyed the added motivation that it has given me. I have never written so many words that “adhere to the rules of standard written English.” Without this class, there is no way that I would have read “Teaching as an Amusing Activity” by myself. It is good to be encouraged to grow and expand your talents.
Through these, our periodic readings, I think one of the most valuable things I learned, was to evaluate everything I hear more critically. I’ve noticed that I don’t just accept things for what they are, quite as much as I used to.

I have also gained endurance for writing papers. Do not misunderstand me, I am glad to have to had the opportunity to write them. What I’m saying is, writing simply isn’t one of my favorite hobbies. The reason I am glad to have had the opportunity to write, is because of all the things I have learned from it. Also, I love the feeling of knowing that I’ve finished my paper. It helps me to feel like an academic scholar; searching for knowledge and truth while helping others to learn through my thoughts.

Thanks Marcia, for helping me to learn and grow.

Peer Review Experience
Week Fifteen

Personally, I think that doing the whole peer review thing is good for all of us.
Why would it not be? One person can catch mistakes another may have missed even if they are of equal intelligence. I only have a few grievances with it. Sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable correcting someone else’s paper because I don’t want to offend them. I also sometimes most of the time feel unsure about whether or not I’m actually helping to correct their paper. I’ve never been very good at knowing for sure where commas are supposed to be placed, if things are spelled correctly, and stuff like that.

How do you know while grading someone’s paper, that you are grading it correctly? By the way, I’m not implying that you (Marcia Smith) have graded one of my papers wrong. I would have told you if you had. I consider myself to be pretty good at math, but even in my best subject a lot of the time I’m not perfectly sure that I did a problem right.

I think one of the things I don’t like about the peer reviews is actually a good thing. Seeing other student’s mistakes and my own mistakes shown to me helps me learn things that I don’t think I could easily learn otherwise.

I was thinking that maybe it would be cool to see how well sitting down with the person who corrected your paper and discussing your mistakes would help us to learn. Then again, people might feel a bit uncomfortable. Especially if the person who did the correcting considers him/her self to be unintelligent. Even though I don't consider myself to be unintelligent I think I might feel a bit uncomfortable doing that. But maybe that's good

I hope that I didn’t make it seem lik I dislike peer reviews, I think they are an excellent idea and that they should do this in every English class and maybe in other subjects if possible.

By the way was there supposed to be some connection we were supposed to pick up between peer reviews and the articles that we just read? Both seem to be pro peers teaching other peers.

WEEK 14

A few class days ago, as a class, we read “Teaching as an Amusing Activity” by Neil Postman. I feel that I was one of a few in our collaboration of pupils that generally disagreed with Neil’s opinions on teaching methods. For whatever reason, when people try to persuade me to agree with them and I notice it, it will often have a reverse effect on me. I tend to scrutinize everything they say, so that if I find fault in their argument, I can criticize it. I think I do it in an attempt to balance out any persuasion they may potentially accomplish and overcompensate. I imagine that subconsciously I don’t like the idea of my values, opinions and personality being manipulated.

Examining my mistrust of Mr. Postman and what he had to say now, as well as trying to evaluate his ideas fairly, has resulted, I must admit, in our “values, opinions, and personality” fusing in accordance. Of course, we watch too much T.V. While there is an abundance of information you can catheterize from television, it (television) cannot compete with what you could potentially learn in a classroom with an instructor.

Watching the history channel just isn’t the same as going to history class. Your friends watching the program with you simply couldn’t answer difficult questions like your history teacher could. Most people don’t have friends that are history teachers. Where would you turn to clarify your quandary, then? Would you turn to the Internet, perhaps a book, or possibly your dog? Nay, you know you’re just going to sit there eating your ice cream watching as blood spews from Kennedy’s head while he gets assassinated. Why was Kennedy so unprotected, anyway? You fumbling fink, you just got a delectable mixture of chocolate syrup and ice cream on your only white shirt. What’s Sarah going to think of you when you show up at her party in five minutes? Suddenly Kennedy is no longer interesting.

What did you learn from watching the discovery channel? You must eat your ice cream before it melts too much and can spill out of your bowl so easily. What would you have learned if you were in a history class? One can only wonder.

Week 13
The title of my annotated bibliography was “ADHD/ADD Reality or Myth?” Which I feel pretty much sums up what I was researching. While doing a bit more research for paper five I came across a section in a website that talked about how some people think that the symptoms of ADHD/ADD are the effects of the consumption of an excess of sugar. It says, “Children whose mothers felt they were sugar-sensitive were given aspartame as a substitute for sugar. Half the mothers were told their children were given sugar, half that their children were given aspartame. The mothers who thought their children had received sugar rated them as more hyperactive than the other children and were more critical of their behavior”
As I read this I began to consider that, a component of the problem pertaining to children who have ADHD is not the way they act but the way they are perceived to act. I can testify of this premeditated judgment because I’ve experienced it first hand.
A while back I was talking with my mom about some of my past teachers. Mostly the ones I liked and disliked. Mrs. Smith you could probably get a good review from me if you just happened to accidentally give me some extra credit… Some how my mom and I started talking about how she had told some of my grade school teachers that I had ADHD. For the most part, the ones she revealed my dark secret to were extremists. I mean that in the way they treated me or viewed the way I acted. They were either really lenient or exceedingly critical of the way I behaved.
I remember the effects of this were especially prevalent in scouting campouts where some of my leaders dreaded taking a bunch of squeaky teenagers on a backpacking trip. They would expect us to goof off which we always did. But my point remains. They, our scout leaders, would perceive a friend and I as acting worse than we really did. We were the two hyper kids that you did not want to deal with. Everything we did was exaggerated. Everything the other boys did was standard teenager goof off that was accepted on campouts.
Maybe I am off in the way I view their response to how I acted. I do know however, that it really bothers me when I think I see people treat others unfairly. I found that quote at http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/adhd.cfm under the Food Additives and Sugar section.

Week Twelve

For our next paper I chose to research the validity of ADHD as a disorder. In the process of my efforts I came to realize that the reason some people don’t think it is a real physical disorder, is because they think parents are using it as a cover for their child’s misbehavior. This made me start to think about how people have to convince themselves that they are right. For example, when someone buys an Xbox, Xbox’s suddenly become the best videogame system. Everything else is crap. Everything else isn’t even worth having. In the words of my cousin, a proud owner of an Xbox, “You couldn’t pay me to own a PS3, Xbox 360’s are where it’s at.” Obviously the PlayStation 3 has value so why would he pretend to not want one, even as a gift, as a means of income? This bias doesn’t just happen with video game systems, either. I’ve noticed it in the old truck competition. Which is better, Chevrolets or Fords? The deeper I think about it the more I think that that is all it is. A stupid bias; one in which one comforts one’s self for one or more moments by siding with one or more things against one or more other things.
I think I can see why this happens. Someone purchases, is, joins or does something that is competing with something else related to it. The person then has to make him/herself feel like they picked the right side. So they justify their actions. I bought a Chevrolet, so it is the best. After all, FORD stands for Found On Road Dead. Do they know Ford engines backwards and forwards? They may try and convince themselves that they do.
I guess what fascinates me, is the power of a biased person’s mind to be so ignorant about his or her own ignorance. The PlayStation 3 hasn’t even come out yet, that I’m aware of. My cousin doesn’t know all the games that will be on it. He has never played it, and yet he wouldn’t be paid to own one. Granted, he may have been exaggerating, but the principle remains the same. Why do people do this? It baffles me. I wonder if I sometimes I do this without noticing. I hope not, it’s completely ridiculous.

WEEK 10
For my research topic, I decided on a topic related to higher education. Yes, I know, I’m uncreative. More specifically my question is, “What are effective ways to learn?” I chose this question because I figured that since I’ve already done some research pertinent to this subject in class, I’d have a head start. As I read AS LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT FOR BORED COLLEGE STUDENTS for our third paper, I started to wonder if expressing and communicating our ideas with one another is the only efficient way to learn. While studying for my American History class, I read about a guy named John Locke, who thought that basically there are three things we use to learn: environment, experience and reason. While reading the paper by Mark Edmundson and writing paper three, I began to think that there were more, not so much faster but more efficient ways of learning things, than by simply talking and listening in class. Now that I think about it, if you have a good memory where you don’t have to experience things to remember them well, then maybe communication could be the fastest way to learn. I’m scared to say that I’m actually quite excited to see if I can find some sort of statistics on this.
I think the difference between higher education and living on the streets figuring everything out with half a high school diploma, is the difference in education through reason (your own thoughts) and education through environment (discussions with people more intelligent than yourself).
In class I think it was Mrs. Smith herself who mentioned that it’s good to have someone to talk to about theories and ideas because two people, unlike someone alone, have two separate brains; and don’t get absorbed in their own limited creativity nearly as easily. When one person gets stuck on an idea that’s going nowhere, the other can pull their partner out of the rut they are in. I think this is the essence of learning through communication.
Something else I was wondering was; isn’t the “environment” and “experience” that Mr. Locke speaks of kind of the same thing? Doesn’t the environment provide experiences for you? In fact, along this same train of thought, isn’t “reason” or your thoughts an experience too? To me, it just seems like there are two things you use to learn: environment and reason. If someone has any ideas, don’t be afraid to let me know. I need help out of this rut.

WEEK NINE

A few days ago in class we were discussing grades and whether or not they are a reliable method of measuring a student’s value. Some people were saying that they aren’t a reliable method, which I feel is the basic “regurgitated” comment that they thought our teacher, Mrs. Smith, was looking for. By the way, I mean no offense if you were one of those people. According to Mr. Edmundson in “On the Uses of a Liberal Education”, all of us students offer these regurgitated comments. I’m sure I do it more than most.

I started thinking about all the classes I thought I got gypped in. When I look closely, I realize that there are very few, and when I did get screwed, it wasn’t that bad. I think people over-exaggerate when they tell experiences of teachers giving them bad grades. I feel that grades are actually quite accurate.

I have one friend who is pretty smart and hardworking. He got just under a 4.0 GPA in high school. Another friend of mine is a bit of a slacker and his GPA was/is a lot lower. I do realize that these are just two examples, but I’ve noticed that it is like that with most everyone I know. Rarely, very rarely, will you find someone who gets a different GPA from what you expected. And in those cases, for me at least, it was just because I judged the person wrong.

“What about those people who aren’t very good at taking tests,” you ask? Who cares? Just kidding. In all seriousness, I don’t think it is that big of a problem. It’s a skill just like everything else. It’s something you need in life. I’m not as good at public speaking as I am at writing. (That’s comical. I’ll bet you think I must be pretty bad at speaking if I’m this bad at writing.) So, should I get special treatment? Heck no!

So what about people who are “street smart” not “school smart?” This is a myth. There is no such thing as “street smarts” in the way that people think of it. If you are “street smart” you will do well in school too.

Maybe grades aren’t a perfect indication of a person’s learning, but they are pretty close. Besides, can you think of a better solution that would actually work? I didn’t think so. That’s why we are still using the grading system we have now--because it works.

WEEK EIGHT

For my journal entry on week five, the scholarly article that I examined, like today, was on control engineering. This week I read After 50 years of Control Engineering. The author of this editorial, Michael Babb, doesn’t seem as educated as the author of Birth and Rebirth. Along with some obvious spelling errors, there was a lack of ‘big’ words.

In a positive, ‘improving the world feel’ Mark T. Hoske, in Birth and Rebirth, tells of the duties and importance of control engineers. After 50 years of Control Engineering is one of those brainwash editorials; where the author tries to convince you of the importance of his theory. It sounds almost pleading to me. He describes what they do and why it is important. Michael Babb, in After 50 years of Control Engineering, first talks about how control engineers 50 years ago were a lot more common. He then talks about how many control engineers in the 1980’s and 1990’s lost their jobs because many companies deemed them unnecessary. Although he doesn’t make it sound bitter, his editorial definitely has a depressing feel to it. Referring to future major manufacturing companies he says, “Maybe they’ll look to control engineers to provide the answers, but I’m not holding my breath.”

In his editorial, Mr. Babb talks about how we need more control engineers and how having more would be helpful. To demonstrate his point he asks, “One engineer may have good knowledge and understand PLC programming, but if he and his colleague have to look after 250 machines, what chance does he have to 'tinker' around with any one of them, to try to improve performance?”

It may be because I can’t see how the general public could help the situation, but it seems like the target audience is not us students. It seems to be directed to those in charge of ensuring jobs for control engineers.

Frankly, I could care less about this article because after reading the article Birth and Rebirth, I’ve eliminated control engineering from my list of fields of engineering that I might want to study. It sounds intensely boring and this article helped to confirm it. With editorials like that, it’s no wonder we are running short of control engineers.

WEEK SEVEN
The Damnation of a Canyon

The author of The Damnation of a Canyon tells about how earlier in his life he used to spend a lot of time at Glen Canyon working and just rafting down the streams there. Working as a park ranger, he had the chance to see a lot of what Glen Canyon had to offer before they placed a dam there. Basically he admits to being a tree hugger and thinks that the dam is not suitable for humans or nature.

He talks about how the dam, a hydroelectric power plant used for economic purposes rather than “recreation”, turned what was once one of the best parts of Glen Canyon into a “bathtub with a constantly fluctuating water level”. He further explains, that because of the dam, the shoreline is bare instead of a natural scene with birds, beavers, foliage, insects, natural water features, and mammals that lived beside them. He compares Lake Powell to a “graveyard” and says that Glen Canyon was “alive.”

To prove his point, the author advises us to go to Lake Powell and then immediately after, go down the river. He tells about how delightful and alive the stream is. He says that although Lake Powell is beautiful, it is just not the same. It is not as nature made it. “It is no longer Glen Canyon.”

Another negative aspect of Lake Powell that he discusses is the expense of it. The activities that used to cost about forty dollars, are now much more expensive. There are only three options. If you wish to float up the river, you can buy or rent a boat, or you can go on a “commercial excursion boat.”

He explains that some people say that with increased water levels, there are many more places that people can visit, but he argues that some places are actually more difficult to reach now because of silt, mud, driftwood and dead cows. He offers a solution in the end. He wants to use more solar power and tear down the dam. He forecasts that in ten years, tops, nature will replenish and “sterilize” itself.

WEEK SIX

Today, as I got my first written assignment back I was a little discouraged. My score was no less than what I deserved, but still a little less than what I thought I would get. Of course this put me in a foul mood while I looked at all the things Mrs. Smith had marked wrong on my paper. I hope you don’t take offense to this Mrs. Smith but I was a little angry. I saw the X marks on my paper and thought, “what the crap, if we did something wrong why just put a fetching X there? If you want us to correct a mistake then tell us what it is.” At this point, I feel I must pause and ask Mrs. Smith to finish reading this journal entry before considering failing me. Now that that’s cleared up …hopefully, we can get back to the matter at hand. After a few tears I thought about it in a more logical, less angry way. I figured there must be some reason why she did that. Ah yes, I remembered, she told us that she didn’t show us what was wrong with our work in our drafts, because if she did, it would pretty much be her work with our names that we were mirroring back to her. So why did she continue to “mark the spot” with the final product? She thought we could figure out how to correct our mistakes if she just pointed them out. “Dang! That’s going to require effort. Why couldn’t she just hand it to us? Either way we would still figure it out eventually,” I thought. “In fact by making us go and figure out our mistakes ourselves maybe a little less would learn because of laziness.” Ah, I see now. In this way the more diligent people are rewarded. Also by doing it ourselves we are much more likely to remember our mistakes so that we won’t make them again in the future. I’m sure I completely over analyzed that whole thing but that was my idea of what happened. If you would like to correct me in my ignorance Mrs. Smith, please do. All I ask is that you don’t fail me. Also, I apologize if I completely misunderstood your motive.

Week Five

There are many fields in the study of engineering and I’m not exactly sure which one I want to focus on in the end. (Right now I’m in pre-engineering). After a long strenuous search for a journal or article on engineering, I came across one on control engineering that I, a human of average intellect could understand. I finally chose this article entitled, “Birth and Rebirth” by Mark T. Hoske, Editor-in-Chief of Control Engineering.

Are engineers today using the experiences of yesterday to avoid costly mistakes?
Mark Hoske, the author of this journal, quotes an article written in 1954 by the editors of Control Engineering. Their opinion was that “The engineer who creates control systems and keeps them working is a practical man.” They explain further that if the engineers use control studies to evaluate new products, they can save managers the time and effort of trying to decide whether to go with new products or not. The work that the engineers do saves managers from having to do the research themselves. They can rely on the expertise of the engineers to help them make decisions about whether or not a product will yield profitable.

In this editorial article entitled Birth and Rebirth, the author then jumps from the year 1954 to the year 1979. He uses comments from a man by the name of Ed Rompass to speak in-depth concerning the work required of Control Engineers 25 years later. Rompass explained that in the complicated and technologically advanced era in which he was living it was sometimes hard for software programmers to explain to managers the ins and outs of their programs. This essentially is where control engineers were needed. It was their job, among other things, to simplify what the programmers had done so that the manager could direct and instruct the programmers on what they wanted out of the product they were thinking of promoting.

The author of this article then jumps to today. He concludes with the idea that the value in hiring control engineers today, is still their ability to measure, decide and evaluate whether a product will actually pay for a company to market. Their job should include more than just having fun tweaking the hardware, software and networks that make up control systems. He believes that today’s control engineers get carried away with all the “toys” that are now available for their usage. They should be gathering and consolidating and putting into layman’s terms the available information.

The author then looks to the future and hopes that wherever control engineers will be called upon to use their expertise, they will be able to use past history to remind them to keep bringing “relevance and value” to their organizations through “daily rebirth”.

Sometimes, when I think about the different majors I could take and what I want to do for a living it scares me. Not that I’m suggesting that we go to college solely for a future career. How could I, after our recent class discussions? Ok, back to the topic at hand. I sometimes worry that by the time I’ve got my degree in what ever field, that this newly acquired skill of mine will be irrelevant, obsolete, undesirable, even useless. How do they keep managers convinced of their supposedly needed contributions? Through research and work on this topic, I’ve also come to question my own commitment to become an engineer. This individual field fast lost is charm. I can’t see any enjoyment resulting from this field of study, except the possible sense of accomplishment you get when you help do your part. I think this “sense of accomplishment” of which I speak could come from almost any other area of educational practice. I’m starting to wonder, do I really want to be an engineer?

2006-09-15T20:36:00.000-07:00

Engineering

I’ve always had ideas for inventions, or other things I would like to build. Sometimes I get ideas during the night or at school for things that I’d like to build, but rarely have I had the means or the ability to make them come to life. That’s why I chose Engineering or more specifically Pre-Engineering as my major. I feel that it suits me well.
One of my favorite toys growing up was a set of Construx. It had all of these pieces of different sizes that snapped together and little wheels and pulleys and other cool stuff. My brother and I spent hours playing with the Construx making all sorts of great things. It was exciting to come up with new designs for cars or planes or spaceships and use the Construx to make them. Also, since I was youngster I’ve always enjoyed taking apart appliances, old computers, and other electronic devices. I like to see how these things were made and to use their various parts in other applications.
Engineers study things such as how we can produce items more efficiently or how we can build things that are safer. I think they do this in a more logical way, as opposed to a more creative aspect, but I think that both creativity and logic would be useful in this field.
People usually want what they buy and use to be the safest that humans can possibly make it. Cars, for example, didn’t at first have seatbelts or any sort of safety features, but as soon as there was demand for these safety features, there were engineers figuring out how they could minimize the injuries caused by wrecks. The engineers calculated such things as where the seat belt coming in contact with the body would cause the least amount of damage or which parts of the body were most resistant to force applied to them. They figured out how to make the seat belts fit all shapes and sizes of bodies and at the same time fit those bodies comfortably.
Companies in the shipping industry want their methods of delivery to be as efficient and cost effective as possible. Maybe they want to use a plane, or a boat, or a truck. How can they figure out which method is most efficient? By using an engineer’s calculations. “How can an engine use less fuel, or even a less expensive fuel and yet still get there as quickly and safely?” engineer’s are able to figure out things like this.
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, engineers have been working to design machines that would put out more products more quickly with less cost and less manpower. It would be exciting to be in on developing more designs like that. The field of robotics is highly interesting to me.
One of the things I’ve wanted to build is a sort of homemade helicopter that has four lift rotors. Sadly, I couldn’t actually build one because of my limited knowledge and lack of funds. I didn’t know exactly how I should set up the electrical system so that signals would be properly sent to the different motors. There were other problems like this one.
That’s why I want to become an Engineer of some sort. It could be a career that could provide a good living for my family and me, as well as something that I could use in my free time to develop and bring to reality my own ideas.

2006-09-08T19:57:00.000-07:00

I can’t think of anything that has kept me awake lately at night besides homework… However, I can think of an unresolved question I have pondered on. I will say that this thought is not meant to give offense. Another thing I would like to say is that, I’m not questioning the validity of my religion’s teachings. I am only wondering about things I don’t know yet. Being L.D.S., I believe that after we die we will be resurrected and live for eternity. That being said, my question is what do we do for all of eternity after being resurrected? Won’t we get bored? It seems to me that by living for an eternity at some point you would have done everything there is to do. You would have experienced and learned everything there is to experience and learn about. After that, what would you do for the rest of eternity? What would you do for an infinite amount of time? It is a tenet of my church that if you are righteous and follow God’s commandments, you will have the opportunity to make your own worlds. In essence, you will be a God or Goddess. Wouldn’t that loose it’s charm after awhile too? Will what entertains us now be entertaining in the far distant future? Two things bring me comfort in this thought. First, and I feel like a fool saying this but, in all seriousness, maybe there are some things we never tire of--like loving people or being loved. I know I don’t get sick of seeing pretty girls. Second, maybe there are an infinite amount of things that we can do. I’m thinking of when I’m really immersed in learning something new or trying to figure out how something works and how exciting that is. After awhile I get over-saturated with the project and want to move on to something new. It seems that there always is something else that is new or different to delve into.The concept of time is so important in our lives here. It’s hard for us to imagine having always existed and continuing to always exist. That’s probably one reason why it’s so difficult for me to imagine being happy and interested in life for all eternity.

Journal

As I was going through the public school system I noticed teachers there had pretty

definite rules of conduct which were used to keep order in the classroom. This order in the

classroom made it possible for the teachers to teach more effectively. All the students had the

right to an education. In fact, it is the law that all children be given the opportunity to receive

an education In a public school system where people are legally forced to attend class it seems

reasonable that teachers would have to maintain a strong code of conduct throughout an entire

school so as not to deprive any students of learning or of their students’ actions depriving their

peers of learning.

Now that I’m attending college and paying tuition to receive a chance for education, I’m

wondering how much control teachers should have on what my peers and I do.

The other day in History, my instructor Professor Fish, was going over the classroom

rules. He mentioned that we couldn’t do anything on our laptops except History related work.

At first I thought, “How unfair. I paid for this class it’s my right to do what I want in it.” But

then I thought about the effects my actions might have on my peers. Would my actions interfere

with other students’ learning? I don’t know if it is that distracting to have someone next to me

playing a silent game on his laptop. If sound isn’t involved, is the shiny screen a distraction? It

is still important for a teacher to maintain control of a class so that all those who paid for the

learning experience have the chance to receive that learning unhindered by distraction from

other students, but what if my actions don’t distract other students. What if my actions only

interfere with my own learning? How much control should the professor have over my actions if

my actions only hurt myself? As a college student should I have more say in the way I am

educated than I did as a youngster in the public school system? Should some of that total

control that a teacher has in the public school system shift a little more to the students in a

college setting?

Professor Smith, sorry about the format I couldn't get blogger.com to cooperate.
