@dandilionssss I agree. The cover letter was harder for me than the resume, even though more goes into the resume. The cover letter also comes with pressure because it is the first thing people will see. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

I’ve been working on my resume for a while but the cover letter was hard to start. I also have never written a letter of purpose and am hoping to be successful in that. This is good prep for applying to professional jobs. #RHUB305

@kaylyn_yu I agree. I thought the videos gave me a lot of guidance on where to go with the letter and what to include in it. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

I recently wrote my first cover letter for a class but didn’t have much guidance on how to do it. The videos are very insightful on how to write it and the purpose of writing it. #RHUB305

I thought the adjunct instructor and high school teacher CVs were the strongest. They were both easy to read, formatted well, and highlight strong skills. They were both long but all of the info on them is relevant and I wouldn’t cut anything out. #RHUB305

@JacquelinRWS305 I did the same thing. After reading the article I went onto my google doc with my resume and updated it to be in chronological order. Her advice helped me go through and revise my resume #RHUB305

I have been considering grad school in my options for what I want to do after college. Reading “Advice for Undergraduates Considering Graduate School” definitely clarified some of my confusions and made me feel good that I don’t know what I want to do yet. #RHUB305

@crivero7217 I agree. I tend to put everything off until the last minute so as much as I dislike sitting down and writing the canvas posts, I’m glad we have to do them in the long run #RHUB305

The hardest part about the research paper is finding sources that for the criteria for the class that also support my claim. I haven’t ever used the library database so using those sources is new to me. #RHUB305

#RHUB305 This article is about how antidepressants create an unnatural imbalance of neurotransmitters, and supports the argument that depression should not always have a medicated treatments. https://t.co/PoUhRafsam

@crivero7217 I think this image will definitely help the reader get a clear visual, which will support your argument. You could also maybe include a graph that has stats to support this visual. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

I am going to research if depression and anxiety should be treated as a real threat to ones health. This graph is of the us population that experiences either depression or anxiety, and I will talk about how it is so common and we should consider it a real threat. #RHUB305

My claim is that certain preworkouts are better for you than others. My sub claim would be that not all preworkouts are the same and certain intakes are more effective than others. Also that all preworkouts can have negative effects. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

@jcaulfield1156 #RHUB205 I agree, I thought resources would be difficult to find but they are surprisingly easy to find, the hard part is just finding relevant info.

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

After looking through the SDSU library website, I found that it is very easy to find sources. I’ve never used this before, but I don’t predict I’ll run into any issues. If I search general topics I get lots of results so I will need to find relevant sources within that. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

One idea I have for my research paper is if caffeine/energy drinks are effective to drink before working out, and if the side effects are positive or negative. What is the most effective/healthiest preworkout? #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

The writing process has been pretty good so far. I have an idea of what I wanted to do with this assignment, and with some feedback and advice I think I’ll have a complete letter to turn in. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

I think the assigned readings have helped me grasp an idea of how to write my letter. I like this unit because for me it is very personal and I get to write to my brother, which is easy but at the same time hard since I have never done this before. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

In the letter to Obama from Mari, she uses pathos to spark a response from Obama. She uses language such as “I am one of the children” and “lift people’s spirits” and it is successful because Obama ends up going to Flint to help the situation. #RHUB305

[Alaina Stimson @AlainaStimson]

MLK’s letter is a good example of a response like what our next writing assignment is. He is responding to the points of the clergy men, explaining his POV and why his protests are just. His intended audience is most likely his fellow clergy and those who criticize him. #RHUB305
