Comp 101 Reflection

This year in our English 1010 class, we covered many different genres and types of writing. We covered how to write personal narratives, how to respond to other students and other forms of writing, and how to professionally write essays. Briefly, we touched down on how to write argumentatively and were also required to create an infographic, wish was probably my favorite assignment. Although I never thought of myself as a strong writer, I believe that this class has greatly improved not only my writing skills, but my thinking skills as well. This was my first English class to be taken through dual enrollment and I believe that it went quite successfully while challenging me as a writer.

Everyone is likely to experience some form of discrimination or prejudice; as is anyone capable of acting prejudiced towards others. On April 5th, 1968, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa named Jane Elliot conducted an experiment with her third grade class that dealt with the concept of discrimination; and was documented in Peters’ 1985 ‘A Class Divided’. The exercise originally took place the day after Martin Luther King was assassinated. The documentary is an eye opener to the world of racism and discrimination. Bucher (2010) describes racism as “discrimination based on the belief that one race is superior to another” (97). According to Bucher (2010) “discrimination is defined as the

To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army

Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate my voice more in my essays and I believe

For the summer of 2015, I enrolled as a student in University of Maryland University College (UMUC) to start the journey of earning a bachelor's degree in Cyber Security. For the starting course requirements, Writing 101s was one of the three classes I had picked to begin with. When I first started off in this course, I considered my writing skills poor, with unorganized paragraphing and horrible grammar skills. Now, I am able to write great with more organized essays, proper sentence structures, and also gained researching skills for future research projects or assignments. This course has dramatically increased my confidence in writing and I feel that I am able to write at college level and not middle or high school.

riting 101 was the second college course I have taken. Before I started taking college classes, I had not attended any type of academic classes sine I graduated high school in 2012. Going into this course, I thought I was not going to benefit very much from it but I was wrong. I had forgotten the majority of what I learned in high school. This writing course not only helped me to refresh my writing skills, but also taught me new things that I know will be helpful as I continue my education. When I realized I had to take this class I thought it would be easy for me. I soon realized that even though I had taken advanced classes in high school, in many ways I was not prepared for college level writing.

In English 102 I would consider it to be the best writing experience of my life. There would be times where I would say that it was the most struggling class I ever had with my grammar and word choices. I would always have to prove my self to Professor Hohmann who is are an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) That I can write professionally as a student. I would have six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can write as good as a college student. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes and in life. One of the assignments where the research paper for the topic that I liked of which that there needed to be two sides. Another task that helped me out with my writing was the

COMM 1015 is my favorite course this semester. This course has not only taught me the techniques to help me to listen attentively, and speak more clearly and openly with my professors, advisers, and classmates; but it has also taught me to be a better writer. There were many interesting writing assignments this semester; however, my top three writing assignments were: The Intro Letter TR, Speaker Analysis, and the Common Book Essay.

The first day of class I was lost and could not find the English Composition room; however, I saw my former Akron Experience class teacher and asked her for directions. Right next to her was you (Professor Thoenen), and you stated to me “ The class is right there, go have a seat and I’ll be in, in just a second”. I immediately thought to myself “It’s going to be a long semester.” From there I was a little discouraged about taking Comp I and really didn’t know what to expect.

CPSW did supervised visit for Mr. Stark on October 14th, October 18th, and October 27th. Ms. Mauer attended each supervised visit with her child Kaison and she has been very interactive and affectionate with her child Kasion. Currently, Ms. Mauer has been offered supervised visits by the FITS twice a week for two hours. FITS worker reported that Ms. Mauer is engaged and interactive with her child. Ms. Mauer had supervised visit with Kaison on November 1th, November 3th, November 8th, November 10th, and November 15th and all visit went well. The worker reported that Ms. Mauer participated each session and has not missed any supervised visits.

The reason why we are doing Common Task #11 is so we know how our writing has changed throughout the year and so we notice if we struggles or didn’t struggle on any of the Common Task also so we can improve on our writing. The Common Task I chose for Common Task#11 was Common Task#5-Analytical Writing-Write an informative essay about a complex process, also Common Task#7-Argumentative Writing- Argument discussing meaningful word or phrase, and lastly Common Task#2-Narrative-Personal Narrative.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by the secretary of the program, Geraldine Jean-Baptiste. I informed her that this week concludes the WLG program. She stated that it was a pleasure working with me, DYCD and LaGuardia Community College. I collected the last timesheet for, Kristina Lang, which was free of any errors. The secretary also informed me that the participant was outstanding in terms of work duties and ethics. Overall, I was able to conclude that this worksite was in compliance with DYCD rules and regulations for all 25 weeks of the program.

I am currently in Econ 106D Lec 2 but I am unable to enroll in its lab lecture. I talked to the professor about the problem and he said that the econ department counselors will be able to enroll me in lab and discussion because I am already in the class. Please assist me with with the situation and I hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you.

I have always tried my hardest in school, trying my best to make my parents proud of me. Have there been time when I could have tried harder? Absolutely. There have been many times where I have found myself slipping in my schoolwork, and I have always caught myself. There is one time in particular of my junior year that I won't soon forget.

Before I began CCU, I was a little nervous. I don't know how well that I will remember what I am learning, etc. Since I began, I feel much more assured.
