The document describes the four main academic disciplines: 1) Humanities focus on understanding the human race through subjects like history, languages, art, music, philosophy, and religion. 2) Social sciences examine human behavior, the brain, how groups communicate, and how society functions. 3) Natural sciences study the natural world through experimentation in fields like biology, chemistry, and environment. 4) Applied fields apply the other disciplines to specific areas like nursing, counseling, law, education, and business.

Understanding Disciplinarity: In your own words, how would
you describe the four academic disciplines Humanities, social
Science, Natural science, and applied fields?
I would describe humanities as an attempt to understand the
human race, ranging from history, languages, history, art music
philosophy, religion, anthropology, communication, sociology,
psychology, etc. Social Science focuses on human behaviors, to
understand how the brain works, how a certain group of humans
communicate among each other and how society functions
together as a whole. Natural Science This discipline focus on
the natural world, based on experimentation data such as
biology, plants, chemistry, environment, etc., based on
experimentation data. Applied Fields focuses on the three
disciplines above, however this discipline focus on their own
specific criteria. Examples of this would be, nursing,
counseling, law, education, business, etc.
1. Question/Comment: What surprised you about the goals or
objectives for your writing course?
I was surprised to find that this course has less papers to write.
Otherwise, it is what I expected from an English class. In other
English classes I had a paper due each week on top of answering
questions from the book.
1. Question/Comment: What is similar to or different from the
writing courses you have taken before?
What I have noticed bout this course is there is less writing,
than other classes I have taken having paper due every week. It
is similar, a thing I do feel like this class is similar to other
classes I have taken. It reminds me a lot of my FYE class that I
took at another institution.
1. Question/Comment: What is similar to or different from the
expectations you had for this course?

2. The expectations are similar to other courses I have taken
online. I have taken very few online classes, which I am not a
fan of, I would much rather be in classes to hear the discussions
and instructions from instructor and classmates.
5. Question/Comment: How do the outcomes for the course
align with your goals for writing and for college?
I am hoping that this course helps strengthen my writing skills
and become a more confident writer.
1. Question/Comment: What does the list of goals for your
course tell you about what is valued at your institution?
The list of goals provided for this course tells me that this
institution takes the writing process seriously. Indiana Tech
wants student to be successful throughout their educational
career.

I agree with your definitions. I was just as suprised with the
amount of writing due each week. I believe that this class will
strengthen our writing skills.
