@jd_obedicen I personally do not have a cover letter in my resume, but after our class, I realized how valuable it can be. While resumes prove your qualifications, cover letters provide personality that the resume lacks.

@Ttrentie1 I also agree on the importance of spelling and grammar in either applications. Furthermore, learning that employers give an avg. of 10-30 seconds of application consideration, it's best to sound concisely intelligent.

One helpful concept we learned this week was clarifying the difference between active and passive voice. While I remember what this meant, I partially forgot how to explain it. I know to write in the active voice in my graduate applications.

Prompt 2: UCD school of law requires a personal statement. Applicants must provide background, GPA/LSAT discrepancies, maturity and commitment to law school, extracurricular activities, diversity statement, and a reason/passion for applying for law school.

Prompt 1's resources taught me to raise curiosity in my employer by citing company information in my cover letter. Additionally, keeping brief and interesting information and riding irrelevant information is key to employment opportunities.

@Acarrtweets I also agree on having concise resumes considering the overwhelming applicant poll employers have to read. Doing this showcases your intelligence to effectively and swiftly demonstrate all of the qualities you would bring to the company.

@Laureneeespinos I've also considered taking a gap year before my graduate program. Graduate school in itself entails stress. I think having life experience before graduate school may teach us how to manage it better.

[Mitchell Mullen @Mitchel11463000]

One of the valuable things I learned from class was contemplating my future and what steps I need to take to achieve my long term goals. It made me realize I need to take advantage of my opportunities at SDSU to help me be a stronger applicant for law school.

One substantial thing from Arge's paper was the concept of securing a quality letter of recommendation. The process includes developing quality relationships with professor who's classes you have a genuine interest in.

@Amymuno13 I think being able to cite a source without a page number assists in the flow of paper, but also helps with cosmetics.

[Mitchell Mullen @Mitchel11463000]

The previous weeks have made me think of the concepts of a main claim and sub-claims to help me organize my paper. Using an overarching claim and then sub-claims to prove the main claim will garner effective writing.

The sample MLA paper appears to be the standard format that I am used to writing with. The sample APA paper uses a format I am not familiar with, especially the cover page.

The link provided is a transcript of far-right Christian extremists and how they use hateful Christian rhetoric to further and advance their agendas in society. This link is a challenge to my argument highlighted in my paper.

For my visual rhetoric, I plan on using images of protests from the extreme right and left. I think it will help my paper in understanding the severity of my topic.

@ay706only2 I think the dangers in killing innocent people is relatively low according to the statistics Merriam provided. After reading, I think his essay proves how the death penalty can increase exonerations of innocent people imprisoned or on death row.

[Mitchell Mullen @Mitchel11463000]

One of the concepts we learned this week was moral reframing. by appealing to an individual's morals, you can potentially persuade them to adopt your claims. I think this is helpful especially since my research topic is related to politics.

[Mitchell Mullen @Mitchel11463000]

Merriam reveals the ironies in abolishing the death penalty by citing statics. In this research, it exposes that the death penalty increases intensive investigation that proves innocence, without it, less resources and time are spent on proving innocence.

@raquellongg @Seenbeans Hey Raquel,
Personally I am a transfer student and I had no idea how to write a research paper. I think our meeting in the library also cleared up my confusion on finding reputable resources!

[Mitchell Mullen @Mitchel11463000]

One valuable piece of information I learned from the library was the "academic search premier" to assist in finding relevant research. This option also provided filters such as "peer review only" which helps us with research paper requirements.

[Mitchell Mullen @Mitchel11463000]

After rummaging though the SDSU research database, I found it easy to find books or articles on topics you need to find. For example, the books tab lets you research by title or author to discover relevant sources towards a topic of interest.
