  • Reflection On The English 1301 Course

    2291 Words  | 5 Pages

    Entering this course I was worried because I have struggled with writing in the past, and writing has never been my strongest area. I feared writing classes in middle and high school, and had the same expectations for this course. I had wondered if I was ready for college English, and was worried that my skills and abilities would not be one the level they needed to be for college courses. My attitude and understanding of my writing process have both changed since the beginning of this semester. One thing that really helped my attitude and confidence was the fact that I was able to complete the assignments and get a decent grade. I was worried that I might not be able to do college level writing, and when I started completing the assignments and learning new ways to write my confidence and attitude changed. Another thing that really helped me throughout this course was that there was plenty of reading and information available to guide me through my assignments. I realized that there was more freedom when it comes to writing than I had experienced in high school. Being able to write more freely, and the freedom to choose what subjects I would write over made the assignments more enjoyable and easier to

    The reasoning behind attending Rowan University is to have completed at least four years of schooling, graduate with a college diploma, and be able to prosper in my chosen career field. In this day in age, without a college degree you are most likely not going to receive an adequate job. Goal Setting allows for people to strive to high expectations and help improve your overall performance. Goal setting is vital because without objectives you in return lead yourself to failure.

Various goals were in mind before attending my first semester. These goals
