reflect on my two English courses this year. I have learned a lot these last two semester in my english 101 and 102 classes. English 101 focused a lot on different types of papers, while English 102 focused mainly on taking what we learned from a reading and analysing and interpreting of stories and poems we read. Looking back at my high school English days, I believe I had made major improvements in my writing abilities between these two semesters. Personally, I favorited my English 101 class. The
English 102 through the Alabama Early College Program has taught me the importance of writing skills. When I first began online classes for English I quickly started learning techniques that I needed to keep up throughout the semester. Each assignment and essay is due at midnight so it was important to start and finish each assignment or essay early to allow enough time to turn in the assignments. Throughout the five modules I have learned how to write an argument and rhetorical analysis, conduct
This past semester in English has been one of the biggest learning experiences I have ever had In an English class. Learning how to write pieces of writing was a challenge at first, but was exciting to learn and conquer new challenges. Over the course of the semester we have completed a total of five different major assignments. The major assignments include the annotated Bibliography, Evaluative Paper, Research Proposal, Research paper, and the editorial. Without a doubt, initially my best written
This semester entering English 102 I thought of myself as a bad writer with a lot to say and no idea how to coordinate it or express it. A big reason why I took English stretch composition was to strengthen my writing skills. I feel like I have a better idea of where to put my ideas but I really need help with the technical writing and how to do research papers correctly. My concerns over the semester are not the same as they were at the beginning, they have changed. One of my concerns was that
English 102 demands my full attention as much as humanly possible. From the first day I walked into your classroom this semester, I knew I was going to be pushed to produce the work I know I am capable of generating. Although I felt English 102 was going to be a challenge, I felt I had a major advantage over the rest of the peers in our class. The advantage undoubtedly being that I had the same professor the foregoing semester. By choosing a professor whom I felt comfortable writing for, as well
This semester has been a rough semester of my first semester of my sophomore year of college but, I’ve learned a lot throughout this semester that will help in my future classes and not just English. I’ve learned how to effectively read a journal article, navigate around the library and the resources on the library website, read and analyze a book, and how to manage my time wisely. Learning these things will make me a better writer and they will teach me how to utilize all of my resources when I
English 100/101, usually a student’s first real look into what they are getting themselves into for the rest of their college days. Being an introductory course it is thought that they wouldn’t overload a student with more than they can handle, which throughout the semester, is true. Although on the first day an assignment is brought up which is the Capstone. The Capstone seems simple enough, as it is the final paper handed in for the semester. But in reality, the Capstone holds so much more weight
Throughout this semester in English 102, I feel that my writing and analytical skills have improved. I have always had trouble in writing ever since I was young kid. In my essays I would have words misspelled or my sentences would not flow because I would leave words left out. This course has taught me to always revise my essay and read it out loud to check for mistakes. I have also really learned to analysis different things like advertisements, books, articles, and other things that were assigned
Personal writing Statement This semester in English 102 has been a great learning experience for me as a student. With each writing project I have grown as a writer learning new was of conducting and structuring an essay with MLA, or APA. Also this class has taught me how to create new works research writing from one original writing assignment, which I thought to be very helpful and interesting to learn rather than writing a whole new paper. English 102 was also a great experience with sentence
resource, and I now realize that this choice has not been in my best interest nor beneficial for my courses this semester. This course has forced me to think in ways that I have not previously about words, language, writing, and how time consuming and draining this course could be. In the beginning, I was under the assumption that I would be able to rush through this course just like English 101; however, the reading and writing was difficult and required more revision and attention to detail than I
