Post 17: Blogging as it's own Genre

Blogging is definitely a genre of writing. In Kerry Dirk's Navigating Genres he uses the example of George Washington having freedom to create his genre for the first state of the union. Blogging is similar as we have the same freedom but it's like our own personal journals so we can write what we want and share it online to receive feedback. If all writing genres were the same than blogging would be similar to an academic paper and it wouldn't be as stress free and fun as it should be.

    i like the observation that it wouldn't be as stress free and fun if it were more similar to an academic paper

    The fact that blogging can be personalized brings freedom like you stated. And it is a genre but just stress free.

    Blogging is your own opinions and you can literally write what you want which makes it a fun type of genre.

Brian Pham Introduction

Welcome everyone! My name is Brian Pham and I am currently majoring in Health Sciences.

I'm looking forward to working with you all and let us finish this semester strong.

Post 10: Exercise

Exercise has been my passion and a healthy hobby that I have invested in for the past two years. I started the summer before my junior year started in high school. I had relatives come visit me and then talked me into trying some of the workouts they did and showing me how to properly do them for maximum results. I loss ten percent body fat the results I had were incredible. I kept working out and joined a weight lifting class to help me become stronger. For Christmas my parents got me a gym membership and from their on I learned more types of workouts from personal trainers and power lifters. As of today I still keep working out even with my busy schedule I try to find an open time to devote to the gym so I don't lose all the progress I have made over the past two years. I plan to keep exercising until my body can no longer function properly and to keep spreading fitness knowledge to others who plan on trying to workout.

Post 22: Peer Review

Peer review is has multiple aspects that are good and bad. You may have some classmates that can point out simple mistakes in your writing that you blindly skip over. This tends to happen a lot to me but thank goodness I messed up in front of my peers instead of my professor as points won't be deducted from my paper. On the bad side of things our peers don't have credentials backing them up like our professors do with their degrees so, sometimes people just ignore what peer review you tell them and don't bother fixing their own mistakes.
