To pass English 111 you will need to do three things keep up with your absences, write your essays to the best of your ability, turn them on the day they are due, and participate in peer reviews. The first step to success in English 111 is, keeping up with your absences. Some instructors will help you keep track and some will make you responsible with keeping up with your absences. This is important because you are only allowed six absences and once you go over you are dropped from the class. This will affect your grade, your GPA, and your graduation. So, the beach might sound like a better idea but what if you have to wait another semester to graduate just for one class, that does not sound quite as good. …show more content…
Procrastination plays a huge role in this step. Remember, every time you say yes to something you are saying no to something else. Make sure you set aside some time every day to work on some part of the paper, even if it is just rereading it outload to find small errors.

English is vast you can create your own answers, which irritates my science and math like mind set, I want all the answers, I want a set way of doing stuff a step by step guide of getting to one correct answer.

I am currently an English 160 student who is hoping to move on to the next course, which is English 161. I understand the requirements for English 161. It require students to explore a topic in some depth and conduct independent research related to that topic. Conducting research allows students to learn what it is like to participate in academic culture, posing questions about important issues and developing an argument in response to what others have said. It expected students to learn the most valuable skill in college, which is critical thinking. Students have to be able to read challenging readings. Although I still have problems with English, I think I’m qualified to move on.
East Boston is very different from the rest of Boston’s neighborhoods. It is geographically separated by the water and is accessible only via the Sumner tunnel, Callahan tunnel, or the Blue Line of the MBTA. It used to be accessed by a ferry service but the ferry was discontinued in the 1950s (Page 3 of the second book in the kit). It is an ethnic enclave with a large Hispanic and Latino population (page 4 of ACS in kit). This was easily visible when walking through East Boston. As cars were driving by with open windows, loud Spanish music emanated from the radios. An Eastern Bank on Meridian Street had advertisment signs in both English and Spanish to cater to the clientele of the neighborhood. Also, at La Sultana in Maverick Square, the employees spoke to each other (and to Spanish speaking customers) in Spanish only.
English 101 is one of the most common college courses in the world. When I enrolled in the class, I was bothered that I would have spend forty hours in a freshman writing class; along with at least another forty hours throughout the semester writing for the class. What surprised me, was that when I began writing my essays I was not annoyed or bothered; I actually enjoyed the assignments. Most importantly, throughout the course of the semester, I have become a better writer and have ultimately met the course goals of English 101.
Success comes to those who follow the guidance of a trusted source. In this case for English 111 we are introduced to a syllabus that we can reference to make sure we are on the right track. The syllabus goes from talking about what the course is about, to how everything will be graded, as well as what is expected from the student. Students are expected to turn all assignments in electronically via blackboard before class starts on the due date. The syllabus does give you a grace period to turn assignments in late, but your grade will be deducted points. To reach your highest potential average in the class its best to turn all assignments in on time if not early. When we make the effort to turn things in early, we have time to proofread and turn in something worth reading. We are also less stressed and feel ready to tackle the next assignment without mental distress.

One reason why I benefited from Dual Enrollment English 112 is because it is structured similar to a math class. You learn a concept in class and then you go practice that concept for homework. Math has always been my favorite subject and part of the reason for that was its structure. Application of information absorbed in class is hugely essential for knowledge to remain in one’s brain. For me, it is the best way to learn, and that is why I benefited so greatly from english class this year. All of my other english classes involved reading a book and

To begin, I am so relieved to finish my first semester of college. When I first started off in English 100, I thought the English course will overall be boring and pointless because I didn’t believe I will learn anything. Throughout the weeks in English, I started to learn about the different structures in writing and begin to notice how my imagination is bursting to say things when I am writing. When I had the one-on-one meeting with Professor Tarkany, she told me college is an experience to learn about yourself and identify your struggles. So within the course, I was able to discover a bit more of myself. I learned that I need to make sure I am organized, to stay on track with things and make sure every assignment is done. I hope to learn
