Analysis Of My English Composition Course

Throughout the progression of this course I learned countless things concerning my writing. {Simkin, M. G., Crews, J. M., & Groves, M. J. (2012). While it’s there’s a many amounts of things ‘ve learned throughout the course, there are several things I‘ve learned which include the step by step process, including the correct usage of grammar and properly proofreading my work before I turn it in. I found out i had a major problem with my punctuation usage and insufficient when it came my periods and commas. I’ve invested some time writing through grammarly and other helpful sites to improve my writing skills. I appreciate the assistance and help I received from Mrs. C

During high school, I seemed to get marked done for the tone used in my paper. I learned in this class that tone is a very important element in writing a paper, and can help the paper flow better. My sentences in my high school papers didn’t vary in length very well then. I always had a problem with short choppy sentences. When writing my profile essay, research easy, and personal essay I tried to make sure I had a variety of sentence lengths. I feel I gained some improve on this element, I know I still have issues but I have grown from where I was before. Some papers were stronger than others and I struggled a bit more when constructing my paragraphs. My strongest paper in tone I would feel was my Personal essay. “She wants them to believe they can do whatever their hearts desire but they have to be willing to work for it. As a mother, it’s important to work with your kids and help them discover how they learn best. It’s important to teach your kids that there are going to be certain things that they have to be willing to work harder at” (Profile Essay). During my essay writing process, I could fix these problems easier in the body paragraphs and struggle a bit more with the intro paragraph. Overall I think that the element of tone was not my best work in my

English Composition I has developed my style of writing and my skills analyzing and researching topics to write a piece about a topic. Throughout the course, I got better at analyzing articles and pieces to get the meaning of the topic. With that improved skill I was more able to use the information given from the text and install it into my essays, with proper citation if needed. Before taking the English Composition course, I was not one to organize my essays in an ordeal order to clearly state the point of the work. Now with taking the course, I have learned to organize my essays, examine research for a topic, and develop an essay with proper mechanics, and revising skills. In writing my personal, review, analytical, and cultural

To begin, I am eager to receive critique and assistance regarding my writing. My hope is to develop into the best writer I can be. Having said that, fearful struck me the moment I registered for this course. Fearing that I would be expected to write essays, papers and that I would fall short in my abilities. Writing a narrative essay, reflective essay, or researching material for a persuasive essay is not something I had done. Fortunately, soon realizing that this is why I am returning to college. English Composition specifically, will guide me through the information that I need to study to become the best writer I can be. Receiving guidance is a necessary part of life, and in college, if I want to develop my skills, receiving analyzes and assistance is essential to my growth. Falling short is an opportunity to fix what is wrong. So my enthusiasm is in learning everything I possibly can to aid in my success.

English 111 has been a great course so far. I have been learning new material that will help me to improve my comprehensive English skills, such as speaking, reading and writing. In this course, we have covered many topics that usually are not presented or introduced to students in younger agers. Sexual harassment is one of the sensitive topics that we have discussed in details. I personally did not fully know what is the true definition of sexual harassment and what form of actions or phrases that we could say that would considered to be forms of sexual harassments or harassments in general. During lectures, we have looked cases of sexual harassments and how we can educate ourselves and be aware of this issue that our communities facing. Student were assigned to draw their thoughts and what they have

The process I used when writing previously changed during the first few weeks of this class. Already I have altered the way I write my drafts, and the way I read other people’s work. Lamott’s “Shitty First Draft” made me come to the realization that one draft isn’t always the best approach. Therefore, I took multiple steps in examining my draft and critiquing it accordingly. Additionally, I started brainstorming topics, and this led me to create a roadmap for the list of destinations and topics I wanted to touch on and the message I wanted the reader to take away. This is just the beginning of the year and I already have a sense that as I progress through the semester my work will be continually get better.

Coming into the 3D program, I was none too excited about taking any general studies classes, including freshman composition. English class has always been the one class I have always had a disdain for. In high school, English was all about reading literature and being told to write several pages on a topic seemingly unrelated without any direction to guide us. Upon coming to Freshman Composition, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the class was nothing like those classes. I feel as if I have learned many things and developed greatly as a writer throughout these last months shown in this portfolio. The main improvements of mine consist of my ability to manage time, my ability to structure paragraphs, and my ability to improve my papers through my own writing process.

On January 14th I was able to learn about three of my classmates in my composition II class. The three classmates I learned about are Djordje, Natalie, and Angelica. We learned about each other’s hobbies, achievements, and goals.

The majority of people in my composition class have jobs--to be exact, seventeen out of twenty-three. The three students who make up my interview group, Jessica, Michanda, and Connor, are part of that statistic. Connor is a lifeguard at Kelly Rec Center and states, "I like it because it's really easy." Jessica also enjoys her job waiting tables at Fish City Grille. When asked why she likes it, she replied, "I love talking to the old people." Jessica highlighted other reasons why she "loves" her job, such as getting half off the food, interesting coworkers, and the simplicity of it. Michanda's job as a customer service representative at Syke's requires her to talk to people too, except over the phone. Since she speaks English, French, and Creole, Michanda assists a variety of callers. French-speaking customers are her favorite because "they just want to know their account balance." Although Connor and Jessica like their jobs, Michanda doesn't care much for hers. She doesn't like dealing with angry customers who "only call to scream at you."

Over the first and second quarters of Dual Enrollment English at Brooke Point High School, I have grown immensely as a writer. I learned a great deal about how to write a paper, as well as, about myself. In the beginning of this course, I felt as if my assignments were going to overwhelm me; I also felt apathetic about completing them. This led me to create my own personal agenda as to how I would complete my assignments. My plan was to overcome my weaknesses and enhance my strengths within the construction my essays, depth of paragraphs and overall assignments.

In Week one of English 101: English Composition August 2015 there are several reading and training activities. The first of these activities I participated in was an introduction of me to the rest of the class. My introduction is very informal and just a brief summary of yourself. The next activity that I embarked upon in week one of English Composition was a short reading assignment about rhetoric and then followed a set of module notes concerning the writing process. In these modules I learned about the five steps of the writing process. The five step process gave me the brief process of how I should be preparing to write for English 101. After the module notes there are two brief self-tests that the students can take. These test will allowed

Toward the begin of this class I made an objective to build up my composition aptitudes to better set me up for different courses for my degree, at the end of the day, to have the capacity to finish meets expectations that would demonstrate my capacity to participate in a scholastic talk. I knew the course would be diverse contrasted with whatever other English or school courses that I have taken. I knew English 106 environment would give me a chance to develop in different written work measurements. This course manages me with a few methods that have made written work a smidgen simpler, as well as all the more top to bottom bringing about a more elevated amount of scholastic composition versus my typical military style composing. Presently

When I was set on majoring in English I knew that I had given myself a variety of career choices to choose from. During my last semester in college, I thought about how I would transfer my English degree into a career that I would love just as much as I did English. I knew that I wanted to own my own business, work flexible hours and be out with people on a regular basis which is why I choose Real Estate. I can say with confidence my English degree plays a big role in my career.

This semester of Composition II, I was given even more opportunities to practice my writing and develop my own sense of style while incorporating correct grammar. Before this year, I didn’t know how to use sense imagery or dialogue well in my writing, and I hardly knew anything about grammar rules. But I have learned more about grammar in the past two semesters than I have in all my years of English classes.

Through this summer class, I actually learned a lot about writing. I am getting better at searching the academic sources and use them properly in my essay. As an international student, this class definitely help my English skills a lot. This class requires a lot reading, however, I can feel that I can read a lot faster than before. At the beginning of the course, I had a really hard time to even finish one assignment. But now, I am getting a lot better. I think the reason of this is Dr. Posey can always pick some topics that I am interested in. I enjoy reading the materials and the book. I believe still have a lot of things need to be improved, but this class make me become more confident for my future English learning. The assignments in the
