  • Childhood Performance

    I decided to pull together information in posts that provide insight into my performance during my childhood. Wouldn’t it be exceptional if a system/application could do this? I will begin with previous posts on my performance at Watooka Day School, a school that was managed by the bauxite company (called Guymine when I was there; called… Continue reading

  • Chinese in Guyana

Recently, I thought of Chinese vegetables and looked up the vegetables considered Chinese in my Pinterest board ‘Chinese vegetables’ (https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/chinese-vegetables/). Guyanese eat a lot of pak choi, Chinese calaloo, and bora (Chinese long beans). I grew up eating these vegetables. Guyanese also eat “chicken foot” which is popular in China. … Continue reading

  • High School English

    There were problems associated with my English training in high school. I had a few good teachers.

  • Writing

The document is usually… Continue reading

  • Books

    The attached photo shows a section of my Kindle book collection. I read online books from time to time. I prefer to read books in hardcopy or the physical book (it is easier to read a book in my hands, and so on). I recall that UMBC suggested online textbooks for courses over the regular… Continue reading

  • Good weather forecast

    It is raining here in Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Guyana. This is evidence that the weather forecast by Accuweather is accurate.  It deserves a good review/feedback, some would say a “shout out.” It is warm here in Linden, Guyana. At this time of year, the temperature in Maryland, USA is typically below freezing. In Maryland, the… Continue reading

  • Poems for publishing

    Good morning from Linden! I have limited information about publishing poems so I was interested in  (and sought information on) the publication stories/experiences of poets. I found some interesting stories (and poems) on Facebook. Continue reading

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
