topic

I am going to narrow my topic from Indian Education to Indian boarding school. As a foreigner, I really don't have an idea about the boarding school in American. I think boarding school is pretty fun, all the people have the same age can live together. But the Indian boarding schools were not that fun as I see in the books and from my research information. I want to figure it out!

if you also interested in it ,here are some good links about the Indian boarding school

peer work reflection

The peer review and summarize for other classmates’ analysis paper is really helpful. I learn from an active way and see mine problem in a very clear position.

Today I outlined Heng Xu’s analysis paper which talking about the self-efficacy and the meaning to Arnold’s life. Her paper is pretty well organized and clear. I learnt a good way from Heng’s paper that can make your paper clear is place your main points or thesis statements in the front or at the end of every paragraph.  She wrote her main points in the beginning at every paragraph, so it is very easy for the reader to find her thesis.

After I read her paper, I found my analysis paper is quiet unclear. I talk to Heng (she read my paper) and ask for her advice. She said the same thing that I worried about. She said it is a little bit confused after the first time read and she can only find several key words in some of my paragraph. I think this is the space I really want to improve with.

Over all, it is very helpful to read and compare with other’s analysis paper since we can learn something in a fast and acceptable way.
