Post 10: What would you Devote 10,000 hours to?

For me personally, I would devote 10,000 hours into Painting/Drawing. Even though I don't want to paint or draw as a profession I do enjoy doing it during my down time. It always brought me a sense of reassurance when I got done drawing something and I could step back and say with confidence that 'I did this.' Drawing is far from easy though, you have to learn the anatomy of both human and animals, color theory, space, line, shadows, and so much more. So in order to achieve this I must learn and devote my 10,000 hours to all of those elements I just mentioned but it would be totally worth it. As a result I'd be able to make the most beautiful and unique art in my very own art style that I could sell to a gallery or just keep for myself. Maybe I'll be famous for my art years after I die like Picasso.

    Painting is great hobby and it help us get distracted from our problems.

Post 2: L. Lennie Irvin's 7 Myths of Academic Writing: Is It The Truth?

Are these myths bias or are they true? In Irvin's essay, "What Is “Academic” Writing?" he outlined and debunked 7 myths that most high school and college students were made to believe as they evolved as writers. The Myths Are: Myth #1: The “Paint by Numbers” myth  Myth #2: Writers only start writing when they have everything figured out  Myth #3: Perfect first drafts  Myth #4: Some got it; I don’t—the genius fallacy Myth #5: Good grammar is good writing Myth #6: The Five Paragraph Essay Myth #7: Never use “I”  Most of these myth's I have personally never heard of but I just can't agree with myth #1. The myth is described as "writers believe they must perform certain steps in a particular order to write “correctly.” Rather than being a lock-step linear process,-". Maybe it's just me being stubborn but I've always been taught to follow an evidence triangle or some type of layout when I wrote essays and it made it a little more easier an...

Post 9: Teachers As Your Primary Audience

Writing an academic document with the audience being your teacher can be quite frustrating but also easy. It's easy because you know your audience and what they would like to see and hear. First you have to go find articles, blogs, or essays written by people on the same educational platform as your professor. Like our own professor once said "I'm not going to be convinced if you give me information from someone lower than me-" or it was something like that. The frustrating part is finding these resources and then analyzing their credibility. Just because they claim they are a teacher doesn't mean that it's true. If they are and they use outside sources it's also your responsibility to see if that source is credible.

Post 11: Understanding Math

Imagine yourself sitting down in your math class getting ready for this big test. You read all of your formulas and looked over the problems that you did in class. You get your test and then BOOM you don't remember anything. How can you prevent this? You have to actually practice. According to Paul Dawkins, a math professor at Lamar University, " You cannot learn mathematics by just going to class and watching the instructor lecture and work problems.  In order to learn mathematics you must be actively involved in the learning process.  You’ve got to attend class and pay attention while in class.  You’ve got to take a good set of notes.  You’ve got to work homework problems, even if the instructor doesn’t assign any.  You’ve got to study on a regular schedule, not just the night before exams.  In other words you need to be involved in the learning process."(Dawkins) This is a true statement since I've had the opportunity to test it myself on my last math ...
