Online Courses

After looking over the website of MIT Open Course Ware, we saw that there are a lot of catagories and sub catagories. Under each catagory is another sub catagory where you can choose one specific course. For example, under Engineering, which is a catagory, you can find a whole other classes based on engineering such as Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering,Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Engineering Systems Division, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. After choosing which certain class you want to learn about, you click into it.When you click into it, you can find videos and audio courses which you can download to listen or watch if you do not wish to read. There are also tranlslated coursed for people who do not understand English or who are not fluent in it.  These languages include Chinese, Thai, Turkish, Spanish, Portugese, and Persian.We think that the website provides many courses for people who wish to learn during their free time.  However, it would probably be best if you get a high school degree and graduate from college.  This website is still great for learning for additional help in certain courses or a sort of way to gain more inforamtion during somebody's free time.

Traits of a Hero

          In my opinion, I think that a hero can be anyone depending on who's point of view you are looking at. To a little brother, his older brother, a criminal, might be a hero to him since his older brother once helped the little brother but from the outside world, the older brother is not a hero but a criminal. It all depends on which point of view you look at it. However, why does the little brother consider his older brother to be a hero? Because of something the older brother did before, so in order to be a hero, there is some qualities that you need to have or once owned. Some traits are honesty, kindness, bravery and courage, and a kind heart. These traits are very similar to what make a legendary a legendary. A hero can be a major character like Rosa Parks or people like you and me depending on which way you look at it because to different people, you might be heroes.  

Peer Review

          I have done peer editing in school with my classmates several times and most of the time, I ended up grading a lot of stuff on the other person's paper. Here is a list of some things that I base some critics and what some classmates can do better to improve their writing on:

• Check for name, date, class on either upper left or right corner depending on the teacher
• Check for a tittle of the paper 
• Check for grammar mistakes such as run-on sentences or incorrect use of verb tense
• Check for any spelling mistakes
• Check for paragraphs and indents at the start of each paragraph
• Check for main idea/thesis
• Check whether the content of the paragraph match the main idea/thesis
• Check whether they have concluding sentences at the end of each paragraph.
• Check for a beginning, middle, and end paragraph

Qualities of Legendaries

          What makes these legends Robin Hood, King Arthur, Robin Cruise who they are? They must have special qualities and traits that make them different from other people. Most legendary people are people who did something that made a big difference during that time or someone who did some kind of good deed during their lives. Some traits that might turn someone into a legend is kindness, honesty, a good heart, bravery and courage. For example, Robin Hood is a very kind person even though he robs from the nobility. However, he don't rob those people for himself. He robs those people for the poor. Nowadays, it will be hard to have legends since everything will be well recorded through technology. With technology, nearly everything will be recorded and so, I don't think there will be any legends in the future.
