English 2010-Sp14
This is my second English class that I have taken in College. It is a more advanced course that ENGL-1010. In this course, we learn more about how to format papers, as well as how to make a topic more interesting to read. In this class, we were told to pick a topic that is a problem in our society today, (aside from politics) get into a group where your topic will fit with your topic, and make an online magazine that you had to present to the class. At first, I thought that it was going to be very hard to do, at least to present a magazine, because I thought that it had to be some kind of script you had to memorize. But I found that I just had to talk about what I learned in this class.
At first, I was in Group 1, where me and my partner were working on Road Safety. There was another member, but when she finally contacted us she told me she was dropping the class. I was working on Motorcycle Safety, and my partner was working on Cellphone use While Driving. Unfortunately, she was going through some surgeries, and was often late and in some kind of pain. One day she got into a car crash, when we were suppose to meet together for peer review. She came in as an emotional mess, venting out her feelings to me and the teacher when we met in her office that day. That was the last I heard from her, even though I contacted her many times after that. After a couple weeks, Group 4 leader Jessica suggested that I would join her group so that I wouldn't fail the class. I decided to join them next week, after trying one last time to contact my partner.
That's when I joined Group 4, Healthcare Harm. I admit, I was a bit confused on what I was researching, but I soon found the information I needed, as well as a great source for a Review. It was fun and special to work with my new group, and I was happy that I joined them. I learned a lot about Healthcare Harm; one of those harms is bad systems within the hospitals. Most of these are made by human mistakes. This includes mistaking one medicine for another, which is often a deadly mistake. But a connecting result of that is that some kinds of medicines look very identical to each other. Thankfully, there are some programs that are helping to prevent bad systems from taking any more lives. On of them is Chasing Zero, directed by Dennis Quaid.
