1.How does the revised version of our class differ from the first version?

It was totally different except its schedule for essay. The revised version has changed topic for essay. Students use technology to participate in a class. The class looked more interesting, and free to share opinions.

2.Which one do you prefer? Why?

I prefer the revised one. It provided much more flexible schedule and interesting topics.

3.What could be changed next time? Why?

I can't thinkg any other changes better than now.

4.What did you like/dislike about the Clark 111 classroom itself?

I liked the laptop they provide. There are both of pc and mac so user can choose whatever they are familiar with. Also, the atmosphere was good.
However, it's better to use the monitor, located in front of room, more frequently.

4/23/2009 Assessing assessment

While I was researching, research alter my thesis statement. Therefore, I need to research more to focus on altered thesis statement. Book is the very first one that I have to find in order to complete research, and then assessing it.

I don't think I did well at this time. As Tiffany, my peer-review said, I describes how I the research will be used for paper rather than assess why these research can be authorative.
First I have to decide why I choose those researches.

Research makes my idea more detail, and clear through some examples and opinions.

The journal, "The Newest Way to Screen Job Application: A Social Networker's Nightmare" by Carly Brandenburg from Federal Communication Law Journal can be the support for a research paper about Facebook. It focused on employer's tendency, looking for employee's background in Facebook. It highlights some privacy issue, but it also can be used as an evidence of Facebook's impact on an employment.
