Share that scenario, explaining what kind of BEAM source (background, exhibit, argument, method) it would be used as and why.

If a student who already attends UC Davis is assisting the friend applying for universities, the context of "living by cows" could address why attending UC Davis may not be the best choice due to the negative side effects such living by cows (smell, air etc..). This background can then be used as an argument as to why the friend should not apply to Uc Davis. ]]> 2022-01-24 22:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2009920084 Justin Li jstli https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2009962611 A scenario where a person wants to be a cow farmer would be interesting. The person should know the fact that UC Davis is a big agricultural school before actually applying. Students are also called Aggies which further gives the background of agriculture for the school. In the meme the person could see that people have unfavorable opinions with living near the cows. In contrast, the person that wants to be a cow farmer could actually wish to live next to the cows. By living next to the cows they can observe them anytime and get more experience with being around them. Since the benefit of living next to cows will also benefit their future of cow farming, this meme would then useful information that the person could use when considering where they want to live in UC Davis.]]> 2022-01-24 23:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2009962611 Myra Wong myrawong https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2010125607 A scenario that I would use this meme is when my friend got into all the UCs and is now trying to compare what college she wants to attend. This meme can be used for background, exhibiting, and argument. This meme used as a background context might be me expressing how freshman dorms are usually next to the cows, and that the running joke in Davis are "living by the cows." This meme as an exhibit source is breaking down and analyzing how one might think life is like as a Davis student, and how many people perceive Davis as. Lastly, it would be used as an argument source because one might try to argue that "living by the cows" is a con when comparing all the UCS. ]]> 2022-01-25 01:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2010125607 Clarissa Lei cllei https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2011970260 This meme can depict a scenario where two friends are discussing colleges they have gotten accepted to and comparing which one is better. This meme may appear in the conversation as an argument against pros of getting into Davis because although cows are entertaining and fun, it is not very ideal to live nearby them. This could also be used to exhibit how Davis students are seen as for living in cowville, giving the friend and idea of what she should prepare for. ]]> 2022-01-25 18:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2011970260 Maryam Almarhoon mmalmarhoon https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012327214 This meme can be used in a scenario where someone I know is planning to live in the UC Davis student housing. I can use this meme as both a background and an argument. To illustrate, as a background to inform them that one of the student housing buildings is near a cow pasture and as an argument to convince them not to live there because of the smell and search for off-campus housing.]]> 2022-01-25 22:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012327214 Emily Cerna EmilyCerna https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012434890 This could be used in a senario where the person showing this is a recruiter for UC Santa Barbara. They are trying to convince a student to go to their school instead of UC Davis. This image is being used as an argument to prove to the student that UCSB is better because there is no bad cow smell wafting in through their dorm windows or surrounding them as they walk through UCD's campus.]]> 2022-01-26 00:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012434890 Jasmine Agapito jnagapito https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012575736 One scenario would be when my friend and I both got into UC Davis. We were really excited to be attending and so we would talk about all of amazing things we would be seeing and doing once we got there. Then while we were texting about going to UCD, one of could send this meme to the other. In this scenario it would be background because cows are usually what is associated with UC Davis and my friend and I both knew this when we applied and were willing to deal with it. ]]> 2022-01-26 02:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012575736 Bryanna Espinoza bespinoza29 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012601778 This meme can be used in a scenario where a third year undergrad student is transferring to UCD, and they are trying to figure out their living situation. The transfer student is unsure of whether they should live in the dorms or find a place of campus. This meme can be used as both a background and argument source. It can be used as a background source because the meme is illustrating information that the students on campus live near cows, therefore they will often get the scent of cow. It can also be used as an argumentative source because it is arguing and questioning whether or not they should live on campus or look for a place to live off campus. ]]> 2022-01-26 02:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012601778 Darren Chiu dlchiu https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012705129 This meme can be used for when a high school student is applying to colleges and has to weigh all the pros and cons of each college. This student has read that the campus of UC Davis is near cows and often times will smell of cows. It can be used as an argumentative source when weighing in pros and cons of UC Davis. A lot of people really hate living in Tercero because when the wind shifts, the stench of the cows is unbearable. When arguing which dorm section is the best, one might take this into consideration. ]]> 2022-01-26 04:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2012705129 Shivam Hurkute shurkute https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2014311493 The scenario with the cows can represent an agricultural perspective. The person can show how two different perspectives of a rural vs suburban area. If two different students apply and get accepted into UC Davis, the student coming from a background of farmland would have no problem as this is a condition they live in their normal lives. However, a student coming from the city area would make the argument of an animalistic lifestyle. The smell, sight and noise of the farm animals would personify a negative impact on said person. The meme would symbolize the thoughts that the person from the suburbs area have upon living with these animals. The argument would depict how someone coming from a background with more people and less animals would show the changes they would have to make when coming to UC Davis]]> 2022-01-26 18:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2014311493 Chelsea Bahena chbahena https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2014750676  A scenario would be one of my friends sending me this meme to make fun of me for deciding to apply and attending UC Davis. This meme can be used as background and argument.  It can be used as a background source since it is known for freshman dorms in UC Davis to be near the cows. The fact that students are living by cows can be used as an argument because one might think that living by the cows is a bad thing.

Also this meme can be used for animal science students at UC Davis to see if having real cows as part of the class will add to the enjoyment and practicality of the class]]> 2022-01-27 02:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2014900352 Eva Wan kunwan https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2014999990 This meme can be in a scenario for someone who are struggling about with UC schools to attend. This meme can be used as a background that there is one student housing in UC Davis is near to the cows so they can take this information into account when they make their choice. This meme can also be used as a exhibit of showing as a UC Davis student you will have many opportunities to interact with animals.]]> 2022-01-27 03:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2014999990 Kian Kajioka kkkajioka https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015103181 This scenario can be used for almost all parts of beam. For background, it can be used to provide some basic information about living in the dorms nearby to the cows. However, it can also be interpreted that the ups and downs of living near cows are noticeable across the entire campus, as sometimes even across campus the cow smell carries. This can also be used as an exhibit, for the reader of this meme to be able to learn what it is going to be like living at UC Davis, and what either might be good or bad. This can also be used as an argument, perhaps for someone who isn't so fond of dealing with living nearby cows. The meme clearly gives off a dreadful vibe, representing one viewpoint. One could definitely argue that it would be better to stay in a dorm further away from the cows with this.]]> 2022-01-27 05:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015103181 Shari Cop scop2 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015128064 In a scenario where there are archaeologist find this meme somehow printed on a stone or something that doesn't breakdown easily find this meme and they start using it as exhibit because it is something that is straight from our era and they will us it to determine what type of things our population did was doing. Their guessing might be that living by cows was somehow looked down upon and that there were lots of cows which would them make them start asking why there were so many cows around this civilization called the university of California Davis]]> 2022-01-27 05:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015128064 Luis Gonzalez lagonzalezflores https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015174681 This meme can be used in a scenario where an admitted college applicant is deciding where to go to college. It can be used as background because it can give the admitted a glimpse(some context) of what it's like living at Davis. The meme can also be used as an argument when it adds to the pros and cons of why someone should attend Davis. Some people may not mind living by cows but others may be bothered by it.]]> 2022-01-27 06:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015174681 Dorothy Hoang dorhoang https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015252098 I would be using this meme to share with my friends that got into other UC's. This would be a background source because I think it is common knowledge that UC Davis is known for having cows on campus and the fact that we are big on agriculture. This meme can also be an argument source because others may argue that being in Davis is not so bad but the image shows that living by the cows is not ideal. ]]> 2022-01-27 07:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015252098 Lupita Alcala galcala5 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015461261 A scenario where using a meme below is when discussing which dorm you want to live in. The background to this meme is that the tercero dorms at UC Davis are close to the cows, so you would have to deal with the smell of cows constantly if you were to move into those dorms. It can also serve as an argument saying that not everyone can handle the smell and they should take this into consideration when thinking about where they want to live.]]> 2022-01-27 09:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/4cs7rq39wi7nxsi2/wish/2015461261
