Evaluation of a Module
In essay writing you are taught to write an introduction a beginning,
middle and an end around a topic, within which you write from two or
more stand points, generally, for and against, interpreting
information in ones own words and applying it to scenarios and
expanding on what we already know. To be able to do this one needs to
use texts written by others as well as our own knowledge to be able to
give our own opinion on matters around the given subject.
Written above is my interpretation of what an essay is and how I would
have gone about writing in response to a given title. In looking at
the title; "What is the value of this module to me as a Critical
Business Management Student?" initially I found it very hard to be
able to come up with a response, or any ideas of what to write. The
essay itself was set in week two, at which point I though how can this
module have any value to me as I do not know what it is about. I
assumed from the module title "Approaching the Research Project and
Dissertation" that it would helping us to develop ideas towards the
planning and undertaking of our dissertation research project.
Initially I did not see how the lectures were helping as they seemed
to divert so far from the initial topic, that in my opinion what was
being spoken about was no longer relevant. My opinion has now changed,
though I do find the lectures very hard to take in and understand,
having listened to what is being said, my understanding of the lecture
tends to come in a subconscious reflection when reading something
else. I will apply what has been said or discussed with the lecture
instinctively to another essay title or piece of reading. Though this
is possibly something I have always done I am now aware of it.
To me the biggest value of this module has been the emphasis of
understanding what your essay question, title, is asking of you, and
the knowledge we gain and we will be more encourages and eager to express them through writing.
With theses, I never knew how to properly tie together my entire idea of the essay into a sentence or two. In my first essay titled

The first and simplest demand is for accuracy. If we read widely enough, we can develop an ability to discern and a base for comparison that will develop a feel for accuracy. The second and far greater demand is to project ourselves into the moment in time under study, not to force fit it into our won world. Only by understanding the conditions of the era and the perspectives of the people under study can we understand the rationale of their decisions and make judgements for our own time. The third and fourth are matters of logic and discipline.
Since it is a narrative essay, in this case it does not have a clear

In the beginning of the year I was not a strong writer; the first three essays we wrote I consecutively received a 4,5--, and 3 on the AP scale. The main reason why I scored low on all of these essays is mainly due to the fact that I needed to use a deeper thought process as well as eliminate the use of any absolutes I was using. Rhetorical analysis is the place where I have excelled the most because I
NOTE: This isn’t even close to how I would like the essay to be laid out. I’m just writing paragraphs and eventually I will get them in an order I like them and revise.

Teachers should provide multiple learning opportunities in which stu¬dents can experience success and can begin to build confidence in their ability to read, write, and think at higher level. By connecting strategies for learning, such as searching, compre¬hending, interpreting, composing, and teaching content knowledge, students are given the opportunity to succeed in their education. These elements include: fundamental skills such as phonemic awareness, phonemic decoding, and other word analysis skills that support word reading accuracy; text reading fluency; strategies for building vocabulary; strategies for understanding and using the specific textual features that distinguish different genres; and self-regulated use of reading comprehension strategies.

Throughout history people as well as animals have found ways to make life, as we know it simpler. With this ease comes a greater level of technology, which requires humans to once again adapt to this ever-changing society. In result, communication, understanding and knowledge plays key importance to how our society grows. Through trial and error we have learned how education works and the best method of teaching, but we still sometimes wonder what is the absolute best way.
