final exams are the most hectic time of the year. It is amazing how many cram before an exam. A whole semester worth of material crammed in two or one day prior to the exam. It is more amazing when some people recieve really good grades while the majority of people bomb the exam. As a science major, it is incredibly hard to cram before an exam. As the class level raises, the material becomes more specific and detailed. It is incredibly hard for me to cram before an exam as there is so much detailed information it is hard to retain them for a long period of time. Especially in chemistry, it is difficult as you have to memorize chemicals and the different orientations of those chemicals and how it reacts in the body. I noticed that entry level or even biology classes are easier to cram for. The information is just memorization and recall. Higher-level chemistry classes demands memorization but also application. The tests consist of application questions and real life scenarios and thorugh the class information, we have to explain why certain scenarios happen. While biology classes are mutliple choice and its mainly recall. I admit that tehre ar some hard biology classes that demand more than just memorization, but for th emost part from my experiernce, it is mostly needs good memorizing skills

On my way to school I saw a lot of trees. I pulled out of my driveway and there was a red truck in front of me. I kept driving and noticed that the grass is getting greener. U reached a four-way stop and noticed a police officer hiding in another street. I slowly sped off and reached the highway. It was rush hour, so there was a lot of cars and they were going fast. The highway had quite bit of trees. I remember seeing roadkill on the road. I passed by several shopping centers and there was a starbucks. A lot of people were at the starbucks and people coming out with their coffee. I continued to go to school, i went to the parking lot. There were signs telling students taht the parking lot would be closed for at certain dates for an event. i avoided those parking lots and parked my car. There were a lot o flowers and i could smell the fragrance. I also saw a lot of students rushing to class.

In chemistry, the chunk of writing is contained in lab reports/proposals. Lab reports are important to present and analyze data from experiments. So an essential part of the writing process is to concisely describe the significance of the data to the experiment. Lab reports should be written in present tense when analyzing data. Describing specific experimental methods, observations and citing published results can be used in past tense. A common problem in writing lab reports is using first, second or third person. When referring to results or conclusions, it is simpler and clearer to use first or second person.
The report should fully describe the experiments. So being very detailed but concise is essential. There should be quantitative or semi-quantitative analysis within in the reports. The results section should explain every figure, equation and table. For example, a table should have explanation of what it is and its significance to the results. Every data that appears in the report should be explained. Ever figure, table, or equation should be numbered in order to clearly refer back when discussing the experiment.

My strengths are organization and observation. Organization is good when writing a lab report or even writing a research paper. It is important for when porposing or just writing out a lab report, informally or formally. Even in writing down raw data from experiments. It is essential to have clear tables and numbers. Organization is key to keep all your data , notes, extra information so you can look back on your notes and actually make an observation. Organizing can even include clean notebook, smudges or chemicals can get on it and can make reading later on difficult. Observation is also important in a science field. Being able to notice details in your results can help lead to other questions and make a report more thorough. It is good in also seeing if the lab is conducted correctly. Observation is good in looking at cultures, microscopes, micorganisms, diseases, etc. The little details can actually lead to bigger discoveries and experiments.

My goal as a student in ENG 302 is to beable to write good papers. It seems like the obvious answer however, I like to see progressioin in my work. My definition of a good writer is to continue to improve on my work, especially in structure and word usage. In chemistry, we use scientific terms and words related to biology and chemistry. I would hope through this class, I can actually expand my vocabulary. Even through these freewrites, it has helped expand my thoughts and just let my thoughts go free. In my academic career, I have structure in my papers. I knoe how to organize things and let it flow and develop. However, I would like to improve on my grammar and sentence structure. Lab reports are very organized and precise, but my grammar is not too good. In my future career, my research reports on my experiments should be grammatical correct and professional. It is rather hard to do this when some of my lab classes are not strict on this. Iam hoping through this course, that I can be more aware of my grammar. For myself personally, I find the freewrites to be helpful. I have a personal blog where I put all my thoughts. It is so much easier to just flow my thoughts out but also beable to make sense. It is just helpful to let my mind free and just think about my thoughts without worrying about grammar and spelling. Of course, I will read back to edit…haha but it makes it easier to just write.

for this excercise i was in the engineering building at the afternoon. I remember listening the noise. I heard the air conditioning system turn on and off. It was hard to not turn on the music or even try to login into facebook. After the first 15 minutes passed, it was easier to stay focused. At times, I would hear the door open and footsteps. Other times, i would hear the toilet flush and then the faucet turns on and they wash their hands. I also heard distant talking of people. I even heard people in the peer advising room recieiving help and even conversations.
In this focused manner, i was able to concentrate on my studies and even more effectively complete assignments.

google chrome is one of the best google applications. I like how it saves your most viewed pages and it allows you to click on those pages and view them. It also has good addon pages that allow you to translate into other languages. this is helpful as im learning a language and sometimes its hard to read that text. its easier to just use google translator and help understand that sentence. Another helpful feature is when you get a new email on your gmail account, it pops up on your browser without going directly into gmail. It is a very helpful tool to check your email. Also another feature is the tab organizer. I tend to open up a lot of tabs and its hard to browse through those tabs. This tab organizer allows you to see all your tabs. it makes it easier to browse through them and know what tabs i opened. It also has a lock tab, that allows you to not accidentally exit a tab. It keeps it locked, so there is no accidental deletions. the only bad thing about google chrome is that it dosen't save your browser history.
