Self -Assessment
I never knew that I had equality to write about. I have read before. I love reading. I love reading. Buting never comes naturally to me. I learned a lot. I learn to read and write like an author in this class. Even though I did not master writing or course learning, I can happily say that my writing has improved.
One learning course I have mastered is practice using various library resources, online databases, and the Internet to locate sources appropriate to your writing projects. I have mastered this because of my essays such as NY Time Summary, Scholarly Analysis, General Audience Paper, Group project ( Lab Report/ Poster) and Literature Review. For these essays I have used online articles from databases because that is what my teacher wanted and it was an easier way to get access to articles. For example in the NY Time Summary I have use “ What Do You Call A Galaxy Without Star?” From New York Time ,Effect Modification by Age and Gender in the Correlation Between Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, and Obesity” in General Audience Paper from google scholar.The database I have used is New York Times, ccny library and google scholar. I have used a New York Time article for NY Time Summary because that was the requirement and appropriate for this essay. For General Audience Paper I have used articles from google scholar because they were journal articles and appropriate for this essay. I did the same thing for other articles. Therefore, I have mastered its practice using various library resources, online databases, and the Internet to locate sources appropriate to your writing projects.
Another learning course I have mastered is enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment. For each of the articles I have master reading articles for that specific article, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment for each of my articles to make it my final draft to submit. As a example you can see it in my portfolio. My essays such as NY Time Summary, Scholarly Analysis, General Audience Paper, Group project ( Lab Report/ Poster) and Literature Review. All have final essays.
Something I have learned is to strengthen your source use practices (including evaluating, integrating, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and citing sources). In my NY Time Summary. I have summarized about Galaxy Without Stars. For example in NY Time Summary “ dark galaxies the stars are at a distant orbit and they are farther away from each other. The dark gas and star being distant from each other causes it to clump and make the galaxy more dark. Therefore, Dark galaxies do exist because they are galaxies without bright stars.” This is my summary, I have learned to summarize. In Scholarly Analysis I have learned to analyze. For example This research article is following IMRAD because it has introducion, data, Results & Analysis and conclusions. The abstract is about the Dark galaxy’s low surface density. This causes the star light to be not dark.Also, dark matter that exists in the dark galaxy. Introduction is very long. low surface stellar masses density and there is not enough energy density to cause the dark halo they inhabit. …. Introduction and Results & Analysis go in IMRAD order. All the subtitles follow IMRAD order but methods and Discussion name are just different.” This shows that I was analyzing if it follows IMRAD from. Which it did. In literature review I have synthesized, evaluating, integrating, quoting and paraphrasing. For example “ While the female age was 60 to 75 years. In the article they test 247 men from age 69 years in the range 55 to 95 ( Galor 2014). In the article they specifically did not talk about gender or age but say elderly (Ismail 2023). The similar thing about the age gaven in all three articles is that they are elderly people. There are no young people that are being tested on or middle aged.” This shows that I am able to synthesize, evaluating, integrating, quote and paraphrase because I am finding similarities and differences in each of the three articles and using quotes to support it. In all the articles I have citing sources. I learned to cite in all my essays which was my research Essay. Not only do I learn to cite, I have learned to read and analyze important information. I learn to pharphaes my quote from the reading I did. It made my writing more stone.
I also learned rhetoric while writing in this class. I have used mostly logos. For example in the General Audience Paper, “ Based on the data 186,664 (49.7%) were females out of 375,802. The mean ( is average adding all numbers together and then dividing the sum .)(±SD) age was 39.7 (27.9), the median (IQR) was 36 (28-49), and the range (Minimum-Maximum)was 18 to 100 years. The mean (±SD) body mass index (BMI) was 27.9 (6.1), the median (IQR) was 27 (24-31), and the range was 15 to 51.”I learn to use rhetorical terms to get my reader’s attention.I learned that logos are one of the best ways to get reader attention. In the Group project that was a lab report and poster and Annotated Bibliography I have used logos because people pay more attention to facts and numbers that are data to prove my point. I have learned to negotiate your own writing goals and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situations. For example my literature review. I have learn to write professionally and scientifically because that is what my audience wants in a literature review.
I have learned to acknowledge your and others’ range of linguistic differences as resources, and draw on those resources to develop rhetorical sensibility. In the New Time summary I have summarized and got my point in simple language that everyone can understand. In my lab report and literature review I have learned to write one scientific side that focuses on that side of my audience.
I have learned a lot from the beginning of this project to the end of this project. I have never had confidence in myself that I will do well in it but I did it. I learned the most important lesson, that is just write and express yourself to the readers and everything will just fit in and that’s what I did.

Final: Galaxy Without Star Essay
What Do You Call a Galaxy Without Stars? Dennis Overbye; published in New York time, January 26,2024. He found dark galaxies. He wants to inform his readers about the dark galaxy. Dark galaxies do exist because it is a galaxy without bright stars and (Dennis 2024) wants to share this information to general audiences.
Dark galaxies do exist because they are galaxies with bright stars. When we hear the word galaxy we think of the Milky way. We are so used to seeing galaxies with stars, galaxies without stars, seem fake. But there are dark galaxies like J0613+52 and Nube. These galaxies are dark galaxies because their stars are not bright that we can see and when the Big Bang happened the gas was there but they did not develop. Also, in dark galaxies the stars are at a distance orbit and they are farther away from each other. The dark gas and star being distant from each other causes it to clump and make the galaxy more dark. Therefore, Dark galaxies do exist because they are galaxies without bright stars. Visible stars are not needed for the galaxy. This is something that we can not imagine but it’s there and more research is happening. They will alway be a new discovery.
Dark galaxies do exist because the author wants to share this information to general audiences. For example “This is a very interesting question,” she said (Dennis 2024). Traditionally, the term galaxy referred to a collection of stars and gas; then, dark matter was added (Dennis 2024).“Now it seems that the need for stars may not be necessary in the definition,” (Dennis 2024). This shows that (Dennis 2024) wants to inform the audience that there is a dark galaxy, even though we are so used to seeing the galaxy with (Dennis 2024). stars but they are galaxies without stars. His audience are general and common people because he uses the word star, gas, and dark matter. He uses common words that common people can understand, he does not use jargon words or terms. Also, the definition of galaxy he gave is the definition that we audience grows up with generation after generation and it is what he saw in books, tv, ad, etc. He is not being biased because he did not state his opinion in this writing but he wrote about what he discovered. He wants common people to understand this important information. The audience that reads the article wants to gain information or is interested in this topic. The writer uses other experts. Another example Dr. Montes and her co-authors aren’t so sure. “Although fuzzy dark matter could relieve some of the small-scale tensions appearing in the cold dark matter scenario, more work is needed to assess this model,” they wrote in their paper (Dennis 2024).Dr. O’Neil and her team are hoping to detect visible starlight from the invisible galaxy J0613+52 (Dennis 2024). This clearly shows that the writer has more than one expert on their team. Dr.Montes and Dr. O’Neil worked on this new discovery. The writer also states that the galaxy name Nube was named by their team’s little daughter. He presents science by image of nube, experts and stating information they found.
As you can see, Dark galaxies do exist because it is a galaxy without bright stars and (Dennis 2024) wants to share this information to general audiences. The stars are not bright and undeveloped gas causes the galaxies to be dark. (Dennis 2024) wants to share this information to general audiences because he did not use jargon words. He presents the information and science by easy words that anyone can understand and read. Also, to support his information he uses two different expert doctors and their teams. Also, have a link to a scholar journal.

Reflection: NY Times Summary
In the NY Times SummaryI I was able to summarize the What Do You Call A Galaxy Without Star? in a couple of paragraphs and then briefly evaluate the journalistic writing. My strength and something I have mastered is practice using various library resources, online databases, and the Internet to locate sources appropriate to your writing projects. I have mastered this because of my essays such as NY Time Summary, p For these essays I have used online articles from databases because that is what my teacher wanted and it was an easier way to get access to articles. For example in the NY Time Summary I have used “ What Do You Call A Galaxy Without Star?” From the New York Time ,The database I have used is New York Times, ccny library and google scholar. I have used a New York Time article for NY Time Summary because that was the requirement and appropriate for this essay.

My weakness is enhancing strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment because even after revising and editing. I still have grammar mistakes. When I self-assess or revise I would alway see everything is perfect. When it is not. So, for Next time I would go to write center for help.
