I enjoyed the process of revising/polishing my writing. In most cases I kick myself for procrastinating to do assignments but in this case I am glad I waited until the end of the semester so I could apply all I have learned to projects from the earlier in the semester. #RHUB305

Friendly reminder that the creative project is due today for anyone on the A track! #RHUB305

A cover letter should clearly show you align with a company's goals and values, and will advance them. Let them know what you can do for them, not what they can do for you. Show you can do the job, why you want this job, and why you are a good fit. #RHUB305

@SpencerRWS305 Yes this was one of the most important things I have learned about resumes in class. I was always told in the past to just use a template. However, now I see how this is a problem. It is unoriginal and the structure is so rigid I am having trouble updating it. #RHUB305

@BenjiGutierrez9 I completely agree. I think the WHO method we learned in lecture will really help me with this by keeping my information focused on what is important. It will make my concise descriptions more impactful than lengthy ones. #RHUB305

UCSD SoM mission statement states they try to create "skilled, compassionate" physicians that are in touch with special populations of the area who can further medicine through research. I will tailor my application for this program by showing why I would be good at this.#RHUB305

I liked the layout of the sample resume 1 but there were a lot of grammatical errors throughout and they used the word develop a total of 14 times which was very repetitive. #RHUB305

For the professional development packet, I plan on preparing myself to apply to medical school. I hope to apply this upcoming spring. One of the first steps when applying is write a personal statement so I have attached a link to some examples. #RHUB305 https://t.co/5Exb74n4ww

@pnelopewilson I thought that advice contradicted what I have been told by some in the past. I have heard that it is welcomed by professor's to go into their office and ask questions about the class and their lives as well to build a relationship. #RHUB305

After reading Agre's article, I wish I had become more involved with research early on in college. I think it is one of the best ways to explore your interests independently and apply what you have learned in undergrad while receiving mentorship from faculty. #RHUB305

@Acarrtweets I agree with this! A comment from an unverified person isn't a reliable source. The author of this sample essay did pick and choose a comment that supported them. However, for the purpose of the essay I think it does prove how some people responded to the LaPierre video.#RHUB305

@Milo01291755 Hi Milo! I see that dopamine and serotonin levels increase after a workout but I have some questions about the effects of creatine according to this graph. Does creatine make your levels of dopamine increase and serotonin decrease after a workout compared to placebo? #RHUB305

This article disagrees with my argument. One of the main points they bring up against cloning is how ineffective it is and the amount abnormalities it causes. I plan on addressing this point by going to War against it in my research paper. #RHUB305 https://t.co/ZrgwPztV6P

I plan on using this image in my paper. It will help to show those who are not familiar with stem cells what they are. #RHUB305

@Isingh8356 @kfoley5676 I thought the person who sentenced the innocent to death should also be punished. However, a jury makes this decision. If a jury could potentially be punished for being wrong, they wouldn't give anyone punishments unless there was indisputable proof of the crime. #RHUB305

[Geronimo Salcedo @gsalcedo44]

@AhmedYassin96 I fully agree with your analysis. I went into this paper without a solid stance on the death penalty and left in a similar position but with a new perspective on it. The paper proposes many different opposing views which proves the difficulty of addressing any paradox. #RHUB305

[Geronimo Salcedo @gsalcedo44]

I have never heard the argument that the death penalty actually saves people from wrongful convictions. Although, I'm not sure the author sufficiently proved that the 94% of prisoners who wanted to keep the death penalty did so for the reasons provided. #RHUB305

[Geronimo Salcedo @gsalcedo44]

@JaysonArntzen This is a great point! I also felt like he was appealing to ethos by discussing how he conducts research and has students which means he is likely a professor. It also establishes him as a credible source on this topic.

After watching Willer's Ted Talk, how do you use "empathy and respect" to create an argument that appeals to your audience? #RHUB305

@jenniferray143 If you use OneSearch and filter for peer reviewed articles rather than individual databases you may get more results. Additionally your topic may just be very narrow so it's going to be harder to find articles but I'm sure the ones you do will be very specific. #RHUB305
