blog post 1

Part 1:
Summarizing is a skill that all students should master. Not only, students summarize lectures every single, but summarizing is extremely important for co-150 Class to evaluate author writings and introduce the main points to the reader. Moreover, thinking critically is important to make me look at things from different prospective instead of seeing half of the picture thinking that I am seeing everything. Critical thinking both in life and writing made me understand other people opinion thoughts, which made me a better writer and society member. For example, In Davis article “Should college Athletes be paid? Why they are already.” Strickler Tweeted “It's unnecessary to pay college athletes who already have scholarships. Their edu being paid for should be enough compensation.” In this Tweet Strickler is saying that athletes do not need to be paid when they are already having scholarships. On the other hand, I had the total opposite opinion and I believed that athletes must be paid. However, critical thinking made me understand people who stand against spending money on student athletes when they are already having scholarship, which I agree with. Furthermore, in class we discussed this topic and most of my class mates agreed that athletes are being paid a lot money and causing financial load on the universities budget.

Gilman is an academic librarian at Yale University and taught online courses for many library schools since 2002. The author Todd Gliman explains all the misunderstanding and confusion about online teaching.  Gilman support his thesis by stating that preparation is the key to a successful class regardless, whether it is an online or face to face class. Gliman adds, that having the skills to be successful such as, responsibility and initiative is what makes any class good. Furthermore, Gilman stated that “Can you imagine a course in a traditional classroom in which every student participates in every discussion and gets graded specifically for his or her comments”
