@CarolineC_24 I also thought this was really cool! It's interesting to learn about how gendered terms can be prevalent in various realms of education and how they pertain to female and male dominated fields.

I really enjoyed being back in Github for the review blog post! I like being able to use markdown to personalize my post and bring emphasis to various parts of my writing. Also, I love being able to include photos to show the work I have done in this class. #engl350

I am glad that we had the Annotated Bibliography assignment before the Grant Proposal Assignment because it made it much easier for me to explain how I wanted to format my DH resource. Specifically, I was able to reference research I did and give examples of formatting. #engl350

While proofreading my Grant Proposal, I realized how many words I didn't need! It was interesting how quickly I was able to bring down the word count just by being more concise in my sentence structure. #engl350

@MichaelMartor12 @CarolineC_24 I always have a hard time not going over the word limit, so 1500 seemed like a lot at first but now I'm closer to 2000!

This grant writing process has shown me the importance of finding valuable sources that are cohesive. Because a lot of my sources had common links, it made the writing process much easier. #engl350

My individual meeting with Dr. Stover was very helpful! She made me realize how conciseness is valuable in a grant proposal and I will now be able to pin point aspects of my research that will be most influential to readers. #engl350

Peer review with @MeghanMoon350 was very helpful because of how succinct she was with her notes. She made it very clear what parts of my grant draft were effective and which needed to be expanded upon! She was a very in depth reader which will make my revision period much easier!

I had a lot of fun working on my first draft for my grant. I realized that I want to apply for this grant and I look forward to doing more research on Nazi book burning. I liked being able to connect the significance of my work to modern day! #engl350

@lydiaosborne24 I agree! For some reason, even when people are passionate about things, its hard for them to explain the "so what" so I think that its smart to acknowledge the "so what" of our grants while we're writing them.

excited to get experience in this realm of resumes. #engl350

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

I really enjoyed the presentation on the C.R.A.P. principles for creating resumes. I am interested in the differences between an academic resume and a professional resume. Though I have made a lot of resumes in the past, I haven't for the purpose of education and I am

I find that this same issue has caused difficulties in my assignments for this class because I tend to over explain. I can learn from this article that compelling and concise language is more influential to readers. #engl350

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

In "Why Academics Have a Hard Time
Writing Good Grant Proposals," I found it interesting how sentence length and complexity can be a pitfall of grants. As an English major, I have been taught to write in detailed, almost poetic sentences but that doesn't work in this field.

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

@Maggie_F18 I agree! Even though my work wasn't complete, the bit that I had done was enough for me to understand how to format my later sections.

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

It was very helpful to complete a peer review in class today! I worked with @chris_g350 and I was able to learn a lot about the Bedford Boys and impact on the community during WW2. It was also nice to have Chris' input on my research and source explanation. #engl350

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

For my grant project, I am going to be researching the Nazi book burnings during World War 2. This moment in history is a very interesting example of censorship and I am interested to see the ways in which book burning connects to the persecution of Jews in 1940s Germany #engl350

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

@lydiaosborne24 I found this interesting too! It reminded me of when we looked at the reading patterns of readers on articles and how many of them would scan the headings before they read the body of the text. I'm going to make sure that I create more eye-catching headings in the future.

[Emma Flye @EmmaFlye]

I liked the reading “What Goes Inside a Typical Grant Proposal” because it showed me how recipe-like a grant is. All of the keywords and components of that companies want are in the outline which can make it easy to follow what they want, much like a rubric. #engl350
