My name is Jeff and I was born and raised in Plano, TX. I am currently a sophmore and I'm on the TCU swimming team. I am a CITE (Computer Information Technologies) major with a minor in Business. I really am just taking this class because my academic advisor told me it's required, but I do enjoy writing a little bit. I think of myself as a pretty decent writer, but I guess you will be the judge of that. As to what I want to get out of this course, pretty much just to improve the flow of my essays. In the past I have mostly written mostly persuasive and comparitive essays, as well as research papers. Out of school the only writing I do is texting, facebooking, and e-mail. I'm not really sure how the blog is a form of argument, I guess I am arguing whether or not I'm a good writer. I chose for my blog to be dark colors because the title is Deep Thoughts, even though I don't think think I have very deep thoughts, haha. I guess it shows I'm just trying to be ironic. I think of the blog as pretty much whatever the author wants to say so whatever they want to argue is their deal.
Well other then that I have read and agreed to the course syllabus.
Hi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the course. I'm glad to have you with us and look forward to your continued participation in the classroom discussions. As for the argument your blog is making, it seems as though the color is the most striking element. Grey is serious, yes, but it's also professional and traditionally masculine. It seems like a good choice, especially when paired with an ironic title. Well done.
