Final Blog Post

This semester in Writing in the Disciplines was a great class. I enjoyed how the majority of this class was in group work, I was able to work together and meet new people I had never known before and create friendships. I usually am a shy and quiet person but in this class working in groups I was able to step out and talk to everyone and cooperate equally. I also liked how Dr. Kyburz always encouraged participation, at first the class was very quiet but toward the end of the semester we all got comfortable with one another to be able to speak in front of each other and work together. One assignment I really enjoyed were watching short police scenes and being able to write up a report from it. We worked in groups and we had to write everything in chronological order and distinguish what type of report was it. Based on the actions officer took it helped us determine the type. Being able to write a good report is an important factor in Law Enforcement, Dr Kyburz express this pretty much

Something I was not expecting

This is something I was not expecting at all especially in the last week of classes before finals. Being the last week of classes and having a lot of final papers due this week and then came finals week after that. It all started on Tuesday night with a small headache then came Wednesday morning and I could barley think. My head felt like it was pounding so hard and It was super hot so I thought I was getting a fever.  It was barley possible to even write my papers those two days and I had one due that night and the Thursday, so it was somewhat rough. Thankfully I felt better today.

Warm Weather

As the cold weather drifts away in Chicago the warm weather is now coming. Yes it is last weeks of school and it is important to attend but this warm weather makes it hard too. It is the time where you can sleep with windows open and row down windows and sun roofs in cars . All one wants to do is spend the day outside and enjoy it and hang with friends but yet school is important and one has to sacrifice things.

Retiring Cop Gets Emotional During Last Radio Call

Changing the channel on the t.v and seeing this sounds super sad. A man retiring from his police job and speaking for the last time on the radio got him super emotional. This just proves that he loved what he did at his job because he will never get to do it again since he is retiring. The Sarasota Police Department honored Andre Jenkins in a ceremony for his 30 years of service he had done. He specifically said over police radio, " He will cherish  them for the rest of his life " referring to the good memories he had as a police officer. This just shows how dedicated a person is to their job if he really love it because when it comes for their time to retire they get certain feeling brought to them when they officially leave.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/peopleandplaces/retiring-cop-gets-emotional-during-last-radio-call/vi-AAwyPsA

Last Couple of Weeks of Semester

These last couple of weeks of the semester have been rough. This is the time where teachers make papers due and projects. For one, in Writing in the Disciplines the work load has not been a lot. In class we have been working on writing police reports based on mini clips we have been watching in class. First we have to figure of what type of police report it is, then we have to give details on everything that happened in the clip including actions officers took. This assignment was not bad because we were able to work in groups and work together on figuring out what should go into the report.

My Reaction to Bill Cosby's Sentence

After eating in the Den at school with some friends, We all had noticed that Bill Cosby had been found guilty with aggravated and sexually assaulting women. For me I'm just surprised on how fast they came to the agreement and found in guilty in court. I honestly thought it would have gone on for like another month or so. Him going to jail after everything they found that he did, he will just slowly die in jail since he is elderly as it is. Also I wonder what is going to happen with all his television shows he had?

Interrogations

Interrogations is a type of method used a lot by law enforcement when trying to solve a case. It has been used for many years now in police work. This method is used in order for police to gather information. In some cases police officers doing the interrogation may get carried away when it comes to trying to make the person confess what they did. Some may intimidate them and try to get as much as they can. Doing this the person being interrogated just wants to get out of there as fast as possible, which leads to false confessions being made after being harassed so much by police. It is super depressing the fact that police do certain things just to get what they need to solve a crime.  After reading the Reid Technique article, I had no idea what it was to begin with until I read it.  The Reid Technique is a simple method used when interrogating. It begins with a form of interview called the behavioral analysis. This is basically starts off with asking a series of questions. First
