Comparative Methodology.
During the 2nd semester we have Comparative Methodology course, and classes started with lectures and seminars at once. Our lecture tutor was Nargiza Wahedi and she has taught us all methodological knowledge during the lectures. We worked with reading books about methodology,such as Celcia Murcia, Lewton especially. She conducted ppt lectures and tried to explain practically.Moreover, she did discussions with us and used examples. It helped us to understand more clearly because Chapters are very big and difficult to understand at 1st time. It was like a reading lesson,because we should read much more to undertstand the topics. Sometimes it is hard for me to understand
why some writing needs more detail but others do not. This class has helped me fix that
issue a bit, while also strengthening my proficiency in other areas. Throughout the
semester, I have completed assignments that have increased my skills, and broadened my
sense as a writer in different areas. By taking this class, I have been able to develop
rhetorical knowledge, develop critical thinking, reading, and information literacy,
develop effective strategies for drafting texts, and develop knowle
This class has helped me develop rhetorical knowledge by analyzing and composing
multiple forms of writing to understand how genre conventions shape readers’ and
writers’ practices and purposes. This means that I have been able to analyze different
types of writing in order to understand how a genre affects how an author writes, and
how the reader reads. One assignment that comes to mind that helped me achieve this
outcome was our advertisement analysis assignments. In class, we spent time looking at
different advertisements, and how they appealed to certain audiences. We all had to bring
an advertisement to class, and analyze it ourselves, pointing out what techniques the ads
were using, if they were effective or not, and who were they targeting. This assignment
helps develop rhetoric as it allowed me to understand h
This was not the result of one assignment, but many. During the course we were
asked to write different essays that reflected different styles of writing. From storytelling
and analyzation, to infographics and research assignments, I have been able to change
how I write in order to meet the requirements. For example, in the literacy narrative, I
had to write to convey a story.
Another outcome this class has helped me meet is developing critical thinking,
reading, and information literacy by composing and reading for inquiry, learning, critical
thinking, and communicating. One such way I have met this outcome is by writing
journals almost every class about different things. Every so often we had to write a
journal about our thoughts about either our writing skills, how we defined different terms,
and our reflections on our assignments. By completing these journals, I was able to look
back on certain assignments, and learn how I was able to accomplish what I did. This
style of writing is helpful because of its creative nature, and allows myself to become
better as a writer.
By reviewing
other’s works, I was able to see common writing errors in general, and thus gave me
information about what to avoid. The last outcome was achieved through peer review
reflection. This is self-explanatory, but being able to reflect on the advice given is helpful.
Mostly because it allows you to take a step back, and go over everything. You can see
what you did well, and what you need to avoid in the future. This way, in future
endeavors, the same mistakes will hopefully
During the course, I was faced with a few assignments where I had to write day by
day, and not just in one day. Writing is not something to do, but rather a process that you
have to follow in order to succeed. Many of the different assignments helped improve my
skills in rhetoric, critical thinking, drafting, and conventions. While some did not
improve much, others did exponentially. The work is not perfect, but for a beginner in
college, it shows that I am willing to put in the time and effort to become more than just a
beginner.
