Evaluation

I find the lab lessons were very valuable. The lessons made me motivated to read, interest me to write, and learned every topic. I find I am reading more from printing these lab projects online than I did before. Even, reading, “The Human Comedy,” by William Saroyan, wrote a four-page essay about from what is related from the book, and about what I have read from the story.Microsoft Word and Works are cool because, it checks your spelling and grammar, which makes me, improve my writing much better. The lab I liked the best was: The Secret History of Technology and Pop Music. I never knew Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877 and it started to make a music industry in America. Also, I liked, Growing up in Multicultural Familiesbecause, it learned me about families; are ancestors who are related that are involved in multicultural events and makes me learn different culture from people all around the world. It is like a box of crayons. I evaluate my improvement in my reading gives me more understanding and it helps me to become a better reader. Even, from the Lindamoodbell program I really like it there and helps me able to communicate a lot to my instructor, Gailey. I hope to be in the program again with Gailey, thanks to the program. I find the ESSC environment as students’ doing their work reminds me of my old job at CSUMB at the World Languages and Cultures building where students work in their computer labs typing essays and doing videos about different languages and learning the cultures. I was a lab assistant there and loved working with Gus Leonard; he is the Language Lab Coordinator and my supervisor. I thank him for taking me to Mac World in San Francisco a couple months ago. Mac World was very educating about Apple Computer technology and I get to learn about different programs like Macromedia. I like using e-mail to communicate with my lab instructor.
