64 comments:

  1. Test #4 is my most favorite test. I feel confident that I did pretty okay on the essay. Since this test was a take home test I had all the time in my hands to finish this paper. Although i procrastinated a little on this test, I'm glad i finished it. I prepared the test by researching and learning more about my topic.

    1. I completely agree. In class essays make me feel uneasy because of the rushing and quick thinking.

      Delete
    2. You did a good job on your essay even if you read just a part of it. I can tell you were very confident in what you wrote, learned and understood your topic! I agree, listening to the other topics was quite interesting.

    4. I agree! I really felt more at ease writing this paper for our test. I didn't feel like I had to hurry up and writing during the class period.

  5. I liked how test4 was take home because I would have not remembered all those supporting details I've researched. My preparation was rather inadequate and I believe it shows in my essay. Despite that, the research I did really helped me get a clear understanding about the American and Canadian health care system. That's part of the reason why I decided to write about this topic.

    5. That's an interesting topic you got there. Research must be critical on such topic.

  6. Today's test was really exciting for me. The reason why is because we were able to share our essay topics. I felt really confident about my essay, and I liked how it was a take home test. I really got to research many things for my topic. I really liked how my classmates read their individuals essays. I really learned many things from there topic.

  7. I feel as though I gathered enough information and prepared for Test #4. I wanted to challenge myself by trying to practice how I did this kind of test in high school and to see if I could still do it. I think I did alright. My outline and clustering seemed to make sense and so I was able to write my final draft. Hearing everyone's topic and a few highlights were quite interesting, especially on the topic of texting while driving!

  8. The test today was fair since it was a take home test. We got to do our essays ahead of time and have as much research as we could have outside the classroom. Time being unlimited was also a big help. Hope I did alright. It was nice hearing what everyone had to write about. Today was interesting!

  9. Test #4 was good. Even if I did not do it at home I did do research and I found it easy to write about it since it was an interesting topic to me. I hope I did well, I can't tell if i did good or not since I've always thought i did good but i have never done so great.

  10. Test four was definitely my favorite test. I am really bad at writing essays when I'm timed, but since we were given a good amount of time to finish the essay, I am pretty confident that I did okay. It was also an interesting class session because we got to hear our classmates' opinions and arguments they used in their essays.

  14. This was by far the best test. It gave me the opportunity to perform and complete the assignment in a calm and comfortable environment. I love typing my essays because it gives me a chance to write my thoughts on the paper the moment I think of them. When manually writing I find that although I can think of the perfect sentences they often slip my mind before I am able to write them down.

  16. Test #4 being a take home test really helped me out. I wouldn't have that much confidence writing that paper in class. I really enjoyed my topic, as well. I learned a lot from writing my paper and I will definitely not being using a cell phone on the road anymore. If I really need to use it, I will be pulling over in a safe area.

  17. I learned a lot through my research paper, especially the differences between Canada and US healthcare system. I knew it was very different because my mom is British so she finds it very hard when she have to take us to the hospital. After doing more research on the healthcare system, I prefer Canadian system better because their government take care all of their citizen.
