ENGL 101 Class Analysis

It’s not that I don’t enjoy literature, it’s just I’m not the best with it. The star reading test is what made me realize I’m not the best with literature, in middle school all my friends would always get advanced scores and I would just have basic scores. Sometimes this made me really mad, I want to be good at everything I do and whenever I’m not I get upset.

The five-minute warning bell goes off. I rush to my first class of my junior year, eager to see my classmates, who I was going to spend the rest of the 9 months with. I find myself stumbling into a classroom plastered with decorations of Denzel Washington with a Dr. Seuss book in his hand, a t and college flags galore. My AP English 11 class suddenly seemed so appealing to me. As a beautiful, curly haired short lady stood in front of me and said “Welcome to AP English 11,” I knew that I had found a treasure so much greater than just a pretty classroom. Little did I know, that short lady was going to inspire me throughout my challenge filled second-to-last year of high school.

I have attached a copy of my high school transcript with the courses and grades I have received throughout my last two years at Anacortes High School. This semester, I am taking ASB Leadership, Strength and Conditioning, Drama 3, Pre-Calc, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature and Composition, and Teacher's Aide for Mr. Thompson. My favorite classes I have taken at AHS are Honors World Religions and ASB Leadership. Honors World Religions is one of my favorite classes because it challenges you to think differently than any other class does. It not only talks about religious history, but also current world issues that involve religion. This class is said to be one of the hardest classes at AHS, but it is also the most interesting class I have

January of 2017 I started taking an English Comp II class. I was very hesitant about it because I knew I wasn't so good in writing. Coming into the class with a little bit of knowledge was good but I still am not a good writer or where I should be at this point. All the assignments the teacher give is kind of complicated for me because i just can’t come up with ideas to help me start and get through my paper. I wish i could focus better and be able to write papers.

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.

With every paper I write I learn something new. Shortly after starting my first semester of college I realized I would be writing a lot of papers. From term papers in every class, to an English paper due every few weeks. In English 101 I wrote a persuasive paper. With the coming to terms assignment I really dug into someone else’s persuasive paper and dissected it piece by piece. I recalled the rules to writing a persuasive paper and compared it with the op-ed article. I really enjoyed that I was able to do that because I felt that I learned something and I was able to apply my knowledge in a later class. Going through the writing process for this paper I learned a lot. To dissect an article and pick out the project, aims, methods, and materials

In conclusion, we have learned a lot about diversities and different cultures in this English 1050 class, including all the different students that we learned about through the weekly discussions. I love to read the weekly post because everyone has different opinions that I can learn. I came from Asia and living in America, and I think in my life experience, I experienced a lot about the diversity and ethnicity issue. To change that and use Ethnicity to bring people together is the big issue nowadays. Might to find some common ground and realize we are all the same. At the very core of our being, we are people, and it is up to us to find ways we can unite and become stronger as a complete whole. Finally, thanks for everyone who fought with

The English 101 course has been instrumental in the improvement of various aspects of my writing. The course has been of significant aid in the comprehension of the English language. The learning of the different methods of writing has provided one with an opportunity to better understand the dynamics of different pieces of writing. The concepts that have been learnt in the course are important in the overall improvement of ones’ mastery of the English language. The ability to come up with accurate and precise pieces of writing provides one with a chance to gain creative and analytical skills that are necessary for effective learning and communication. Critical understanding of the use of the English language in writing is essential in the development of self-confidence thus boosting ones’ employability skills. The course has facilitated the comprehension of various Student Learning Outcomes majorly Student Learning Outcome A, B, C, D and F.

Within the English III class, my former experience in creative writing and affinity for classical styles of literature shall more than likely provide the ability for growth within the classroom. As a person who values differing perspectives, my ultimate goal is to obtain a variety of perspectives involving those in the course, as well as the literary discussions relating to real world social perspectives and morality. As a student I am aware of the need to make great efforts in not only becoming involved with the material, but learning to understand and analyze various styles of writing and grammar. despite my lack of experience in English college courses, it will be the strides I make both inside and outside of the classroom that leave a

The class, Libro 1105 by far is truly an eye opener and is extremely enjoyable. This week’s lesson was very interesting and I liked everything about it. I never knew how librarians put so much thought and care into their work. I never knew how organized and efficient libraries really were; I am use to going to the library and just walking around to find what I needed, not knowing there was a classification system to easily find materials in the public library. The classification system for public libraries are organized by a Dewey Decimal Number System, colleges and universities are organized by a Library of Congress System, government documents are organized by a U.S Superintendent of Department System, and lastly The National Library

As a future educator, I will definitely use tons of technology in my classroom! Technology is growing so rapidly, and it important to make sure students are comfortable using it. For students to be successful outside of school, they need to know how to use technology and communicate effectively online. It is very important to me that I continue to learn more about educational technology tools, so I can incorporate current technologies in my classroom. Continually learning about new technologies is a great way to engage in personal growth. I have learned so much in this class alone about educational technologies from this class alone, and I know there is still so much out there for me to learn about.

Benjamin Franklin famously stated “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” Behind all the material that was covered in Comm 101, my personal take-aways have always been not just the facts and material but mainly the preparation and processes to reach the goal. Instead of focusing on the different topics that were covered throughout the course, I found it more insightful to explore the many reasonings for the various activities. This is a required course mainly to transition first years to the university culture, and that is exactly what I experienced. Without a doubt, Comm 101 has become the bridge that completed my departure from high school and welcomed my acceptance into university

Most of the year i have been failing all my classes not doing any work.

I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the

The independent variable of this study was the framing of instructions. These instructions were given in three levels; framing conspiracy belief in a positive, negative or neutral light. The dependant variable of this study was the participant’s ratings of conspiracy belief. The independent variable was manipulated through a between-subjects design.
