Roisin ONeill edited the blog post A Partnership With Fergus O’Neill in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 10 months ago
While trying to decide what a worthy topic for my final blog post would be, I read through Geneseo’s Learning Outcomes for Baccalaureate Education (GLOBE) once again. The outcome of Communication stood out to me: […]

During class today, I read Hannah Sharkey’s blog post “Who Knew Stats Could Be Profound?” I really enjoyed reading this blog post because not only was it beautifully written, but it forced me to think about when […]

I am currently reading W. Timothy Gallwey’s The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance, a book that my coach Ben Wach recommended to me in light of the anxiety I’ve been h […]

Roisin ONeill wrote a new blog post The Dreaded Essay Rewrite in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 11 months ago
Trying to get myself to rewrite my “Bloodchild” Essay has been a struggle. I gave myself about two weeks where I was allowed to not think or look at the essay at all, and then I hoped to start revising it. […]

Roisin ONeill edited the blog post Competition in Group Work in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 11 months ago
The first thing I wrote in my INTD notebook this semester was “blog post idea: class discussions feel like competition rather than sharing of ideas.” I came across this note I left myself after I read Zach Southcott’s blog post, “The Difference One Class Makes.” Zach’s post addresses how much we, as students, grow and expand from each other’s…

Roisin ONeill edited the blog post Group Work: The Challenge in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 11 months ago
Completing group assignments is exhausting, frustrating, and just overall quite taxing. In writing group assignments, each and every sentence gets dissected and debated until the consensus is that of approval, but even then so many ideas are lost and skewed along the way. But I think there’s a lot to learn in that process.
A lot of my frustration…

Roisin ONeill edited the blog post Feedback, Labels, and Partnership in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 11 months ago
In the past few years, I’ve both consciously and subconsciously begun to think of my elders more as unique people, rather than just the embodiment of whatever role they play in my life. My parents are not just parents; they are people with interests, flaws, and baggage. And so are my teachers. Over the years, I have noticed more and more of my…

Roisin ONeill edited the blog post Choice in the group Critical Writers: 6 years ago
When discussing with my classmates the power of choice (or lack thereof) in Octavia Butler’s “Bloodchild,” I began to think about my own experiences with making choices. Did I have a choice in where I am at this moment? Did I ever choose this country, state, school, room, or body that I am in? I’ve never felt like I was outright forced to be in…

Roisin ONeill edited the blog post The Risks and Rewards of Childbirth in the group Critical Writers: 6 years ago
Octavia Butler’s “Bloodchild” explores the risks and rewards of childbirth and how they motivate characters, specifically the protagonist Gan. Although the short story does not deal with childbirth in the exact same way we know it, the T’lic-birth that Terrans experience is similar in some ways to that which women experience in our society. What…[Read more]

Roisin ONeill edited the blog post GLOBE! in the group Critical Writers: 6 years, 1 month ago
Today, we talked about Geneseo Learning Outcomes for Baccalaureate Education (GLOBE). After I first read the outcomes and goals listed under this page, I was disappointed in realizing that my classes didn’t really reflect what Geneseo’s goals seem to be. Communication, creative thinking, leadership, and a lot of the other outcomes that students…[Read more]
