The End of a Chapter

-

    This will be the last blog that I will post in the Summer Quarter of 2023.

     I have learned a lot about myself this summer and I feel like I have definitely changed. I had originally taken these classes to accumulate credits before my first year of college, but it turned into so much more than that. I met so many wonderful people with lots of different ideas and I will miss them so much.

    I wish this didn'thave to end, but it must, and I hope to stay in touch with all of you. I hope to be back next summer to see you all again

Goodbye, for now. :)

Facial Recognition ?

-
     In this blog post, I'll be writing a summary on facial recogintion as I'm writing my second formal writing paper on it. I haven't started it as I'm typing, but I thought it would be good to kill two birds with one stone and write a blog post about it? Perhaps I'm being lazy. :')      The general arguement made by Chistopher Koopman in his article, "Should we fear facial recognition?" is that facial recognition is to be feared. More specifically, Koopman argues that facial recognition is a violation of our right to privacy. He writes, "In July, a report from the Washington Post detailed how the FBI and ICE conduct facial searches on driver's license databases, scanning photos of millions without their consent." In this passage, Koopman explains how facial recognition can be used on us without our permission. Overall, Koopman's belief is that facial recognition could hurt us more in the long run than we expect.

Bigfoot Summary

-
     So in my freshman English class I was practicing writing summaries for an upcoming essay we have due in less than four days that I haven't really known how to start.      I wrote this summary on an article on Bigfoot called, "Why Wikipedia Is So Tough on Bigfoot," and I'm not really sure how I did as I'm still learning how to write proper summaries. I haven't written a proper summary as of Spring of 2022. So it's been definitely been a while and I'm a little rusty. Here is it for you all to read and critize, for the better of course. I'm open to all constructive critisism! Stephen Harrison in his article, “Why Wikipedia is So Tough on Bigfoot,” argues that both Wikipedia and the two sides of Wikipedia's Never-Ending-Cryptozoological War should come to terms that they both can agree on to keep everyone at peace. More specifically, that Wikipedia should label cryptozoology as pseudoscience, in order for non-believers to make an acknowledge...

Do Universities pay professors less in cheaper schools?

-
    This week  in class when my classmates and I were revising a couple of sample paragraphs. We revised a paragraph talking about if a university had to pay more for buildings, if tuition would also therefore be more expensive. But my first thought was, would professors also be paid more? I did a quick google search to find if my assumption was correct.  This is what I found. Professors paychecks don't only come from tuition. Acording to, CollegeRaptor.com   in an aritcle called, "How Much Do Professors Make: A Quick Guide," they said, A professor’s salary can be increased by money earned through grants, published articles or books, summer teaching, sabbaticals to work with private or public organizations, overtime, and incentive payments. There also are annual raises which can impact pay especially for tenured professors. (explained below) If you're an adjuct professor, or a part-time faculty member who is hired on a contractual basis.  They get...
