Project 5
I thought project 5 was a great project because it wasn't a project that we would do, get a grade, and never look at it again. This online resume can be updated for many years to come. I am excited that i have a solid basis for a great resume. It is also something i have never thought of before, but it could be very convinient for a person to be able to pull up my resume online. It also shows a bit of my personality with the colors, layouts, and picture. As well as be able to put my resume to a face. Even though it was cool to get an online resume started, it was hard to make my resume specific to my genre. I dont have any experience so far with anything in the health science field. Which makes my resume look pretty blank, but then again, this project helped me realize that i need to start doing things that pertain to my major so i can have the best chance of getting a job i am applying for. I learned alot about genre in this class. The type of genre something is can make something completely different. Like our project 1 on citations, was more about research and actual fact, where as project 3, when writing a personal story, was not about whether or not it was true but more about making the details of the story come to life. I have learned that I have strengths and weaknesses in different types of writing. Now in the future I can remember that there are many options in writing a paper, and when writing for different classes or applying for different jobs, changing the format or content can make a piece more effective to what you are trying t achieve.

Ah, I'm sure it was hard to get your resume to exactly fit the genre; however, I'm confident that as you learn more about the health science field, you will be able to add to it the information you need. As long as you know where to put that info; that's what counts.
ReplyDeleteAs for Project 3, it was supposed to be fact! It's creative non-fiction, which means its a true story. However, if you focus too much on getting the details exact, you can lose the power of the story itself. After all, perspective makes every story different from a particular angle.
