As the finals are coming, I think I am a little bit short of time, especially for this week.
I have 3 tests this week, two on Wednsday and one on Thursday. I need to start revising my second essay and I need to complete the cover memo before Thursday's class. Also, I have accounting homework, BIS homework and etc due on Thursday.
However I am not regret for my Thanksgiving since I think I spent enough time studying during the thanksgiving break but I am stilllllll out of time.
My goooood, why is this thanksgiving break a study week for me??
I feel terrible and have totally no idea about how to write the cover memo.
Right after this class I need to go to the library to do some access homework and then to attend a physics lab. God help me!!!!!!!!!!

in Class Writing: Visual Arguements applied to Unit 3
After reading Charpter 14, I've learnt some different kinds of using visual arguments in the essay. The visual arguements are attractive and outstanding on the first sight of the audiences. It is and it should be more impressive than any other part of the arguement.
Since our group is trying to present a comparision between PC and Mac system, I think we can give a interview of the users who experienced these systems, either or both. Also, we can also show some visual pictures, videos or even flash to show the difference between these two systems.

in Class: What I learned after reading last night
Actually I did not do the reading since I was not aware that we have this assignment.
But sitll, I foucused on looking for some information about what exactly we are going to do on the group project. I think the intended audience of the argument is the first thing we need to take into consideration. But for the topic, I am still a little bit confused because if the argument is too big, then it will be too broad to talk about and that will result in the lack of creativity and details. If the argument is too small or not interesting at all, we would not have an attractive attention getter. After picking the topic and our intended audience, I think we need to pay much more attention on the form.

Job Titles and Group Member Decriptions
In our Group, I think we need to maintain a well balanced task burden. Everyone can firstly tell each other the favorite part they are good at. Then we can discuss the job types and the strategies that will be applied to work on those jobs. The arranging of the tasks can be decided by a certain person but only after a serious discussion and all of the members come to a common consensus. When it comes to ideas and strategies, everyone needs to take part in. The ideas do not necessarily need to be creative but they need to be considered with efforts.
For myself, I think my job title can be described as a public secretary. I will work as the note taker, project planner(who arrange the tasks for each member) and team contacter. Every time when we are discussing something, I will take the notes and emphasize them to make sure that we meet the requirement of the project assignment. Also, as the project planner, I will give several suggestions about how the program is gonna go. If it is necessary for a group meeting out of class, I am glad to be the contactor.

in Class Writing
My ideal group should have a leader to rationally arrange the works for all the group members.
The group memers need to be enthusiasitc and glad to help. Everyone has a clear idea about what they can do and what they are arranged to do.
Enough discussion is neccessary for a team to work as a whole. To create a good atmosphere, I think the leader should take the responsibility of opening the conversation. Also, other group members should continue discussing with the same goal. The opnions do not have to be the same but they should aim to the same goal which best fits the assignment requirement.
