Entering this cluster I must admit I was confused in what to aspect. In the middle of the semester I understood what the class was acknowledging me with However, I was still confused on how Minds, Brains, and consciousness relate. Now we are at the end of the semester and I have a more clear understanding on our all these classes are joined together. Humanities and scientists play a major important role on these topics. Philosophers are humanist who have their own view points on life and how the mind works. Scientist focuses more on theories and why we do the things we do using studies of the brain and our consciousness. Eng101 ties into this because we have read many short stories such as a Play by Caryl Churchchill “A Number” which touches on Nature Vs. Nurture and why we behave a certain way, is it our environment or from our genes. In the last month of this semester we started engaging our knowledge on the benefits and calamities of robots and human cloning can have on our world. I knew they had robots that can hold things but I never looked at the peril and promises robots can bring in the near future. As anyone else I focus on what's present in the world not really thinking about what's going to happen in the future . As technology keeps advancing it’s made me think about how they might even be able to do the jobs we do. So its saying more people would be getting laid off jobs because if robots can do the same tasks without pay, businesses will find it to be better. I always saw human cloning in a negative way based on films I watched There’s always the bad and good twin watching the film “Never Let Me Go has made me dislike human cloning even more. I believe human clones have the right to live without being destroyed for their organs. Even though your helping someone survive at the end you’re still hurting someone.
Starting Eng101 in September I didn’t know much on formatting essays. However, Eng 101 was very beneficial to my knowledge. I think my writing as improved dramatically; I have learned to do more research instead of jumping start to Google for answers. However, I faced many challenges finding sources and then having to quote them made it a little confusing for me. Also I really did not know how to format papers and how to not make papers informal. What helped me a lot were professor Dragans handouts. He didn't only explain to us what to do examples were used. Sometimes I would get stuck on how to start my essay but professor Dragans handouts guided me through easily making my task easier. I have enjoyed my semester in Eng101 and I must say I am ready for my future essays thanks to professor Dragan.
