DeleteDoes the professors way of thinking a positive or negative thing for your grades and learning? If so, how?
ReplyDeleteSelena Gaona
Hi Selena. I really like your question. I would just suggest to reword it just a bit like the word thing in the sentence. Maybe something like, Does the professors' way of teaching has had a positive or negative outcome in your grades and learning? Hope it helps :)
DeleteA bit confused as to the crux of your questions, but here's your question re-envisioned: Which is more important: letter grades or learning? In my own life, which is more important than the other?

DeleteWhat difficulties would a student have learning about rhetorical gaps for the first time in college?
ReplyDeleteErnesto Reyes
Here's your question re-envisioned: How would I go about explaining the concept of rhetorical gaps to other students in 1302? What does Kantz state about these? Why should students know what rhetorical gaps are?
DeleteDo instructors really care if students are learning and understanding the material they are teaching throughout the course?
ReplyDeleteEsmer Urbano
I love your question! I feel like this in some of my classes. I have a professor who literally does a 15 minute powerpoint, then tells us to "study ___" in our books, but never checks work and does very little explaining. We are free to chat for the rest of the class, but not to leave. So I totally understand what you mean!
DeleteSarah Geddie
Your question really stood out! I really liked it alot and I think it's kind of similar to mine. This question is very interesting and us as students is something we should have in mind.
DeleteNo need to re-envision this question. I like it!

Hi Lisa, your question is something i always ask myself every time I write because I always like to write creative. I feel that if I write creative my grade will stand out and possibly get an outstanding score.
DeleteHere's your question re-envisioned: How/why should students seek to write creatively? How can creativity help students develop into the critical thinkers college requires?
DeleteThank you!

DeleteWhy have i been avoided English?
ReplyDeleteAurora Fonseca
I like your question it short and simple and I am sure your response will be interesting!!
DeleteWe talked about this, Aurora, and I'm glad you are willing to confront it. Here's your question re-envisioned: Why have I avoided English classes during my college education? What is it about 'writing' that I'm afraid of? Now that I am here, how do I plan to overcome this obstacle?
DeleteAre college students more creative in writing something that interests them rather than something being assigned to them by an instructor?
ReplyDeleteAlyssa Segura
See Lisa's question above. Here's your question re-envisioned: Which assignments do I approach creatively, and why? Am I more creative when I choose my own topics or when professors assign topics?
DeleteHi there Alyssa!:) I enjoy your question it makes me curious about how many people out there are more creative in writing when being assigned by an instructor. But wouldn't it be harder to create something rather than just being assigned a topic?
DeleteWhen listening in class or to music, am I being a rhetorical listener?
ReplyDeleteClarissa Reyes
Hello Clarissa. I like your question because that's something I would be wondering as well. This should be interesting essay. Hope I can read the final draft of it and see what was your response.
DeleteHere's your question re-envisioned: How is rhetorical listening similar/different to Haas & Flower's rhetorical reading? How/why should I use rhetorical listening to 'break down' popular music? Why should popular music be 'rhetorically' read?
DeleteAs an incoming college freshman, did I feel high school prepared me for the academic challenges college presented? What could have been done differently to better prepare students? What could I have done differently to better prepare myself?
ReplyDeleteMarco Martinez
I like your question it is very similar to mine. I feel like high school should have prepared us more for the challenges we would come across in college. Our academic skills would have been more advanced and our improvement would have been better.
DeleteI like this question! Good job!
DeleteWho taught you to read and write and what significance did this person have in your life? How did it affect your relationship with reading throughout your life?
