Final Blog Post

Blog, blog, blog, blog… It seems that this has been the central focus of my WRA 150 class for the entire semester. Now that it is finished I find myself in a strange place, the beginning of the end. This project has taught me much, not only about my field, Human Biology, but myself. This blog has helped prepare me to work in my field, and taught me beliefs, ethics, and rhetoric necessary for success in my field, and I will now demonstrate how it did these things.

Beliefs, ethics, and rhetoric, three strange accumulations of letter of which by in large contain the relative same definition. Why are these words important? They are important because they institute the fact of higher learning, and this is important because this is my path. This is all of our paths. We search for meaning understanding, and knowledge in this project. I have found it, have you?

 The Belief of a Human Biology major is just that, life. They believe in maintaining and preserving as well as exploring and discovering wonderful new things with in the human body. They hold themselves to a high moral code set by Hippocrates, father of modern medicine, in the Law of Hippocrates. This states core values of preservation and growth of human life. Human Biology rhetoric is that of the highest level. It includes some of the most important documents in the world, such as the journal on penicillin and new and exciting documentation being done to combat cancer. All while being presented in a professional and prompt way.

During this project I have learned many things, but what does that mean, and why is it important. This means that I have opened my self to a new way of learning, which is one that is research, post, and repeat. In my prior life experiences I have never had to do so much research on one single topic. This process of research, post, and repeat was somewhat difficult for me because of the time and effort that was put into every post, then the process was to be repeated again. The process was quite overwhelming. This fact was my biggest struggle within the project, but I also found that finding and citing information was quite a challenge. This is because often times research is incorrect, or needs to be double checked. The fact that I was so unfamiliar with the citing process caused my problems with citing, this was a challenge but I enjoyed learning the technique of creating the citation.

Now that I have talked about the struggles and problems that the blog project presented me with, I would like to talk about how I feel that I did well in this project. I feel that I succeed in learning a plethora of new and exciting information about my field of Human Biology. I learned so many interesting things about what doctors learn, how they learn, and where they learn. I have also learned interesting effects of new medical products such as physio-tape. I also feel that I have become a better writer because of this project. It has opened my mind to new ways of writing and new writing styles.

In conclusion I have learned many new things. This project has opened my mind to new ideas, and concepts, It has not been easy as I have encountered challenges, but I have also been able to overcome them and excel in their midst’s. This project was a great learning experience, and look forward to doing it again.
