ENGL 102 Reflective Essay

Throughout English 1010 thus far, I can certainly say that my writing skills have been tested and tried. Writing for fun and composing rhetorical essays for a college-level English class are vastly different styles and require contrasting attitudes, voices, and points of view for each. Before writing essays of the former diction, I must admit that I did not understand the rhetorical strategies and had no idea there even was a rhetorical triangle. The assignments included in this portfolio show the advancements I have made in my writing with an academic tone.

Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals. It could mean the loss of a sale or acquiring new business. It’s like dressing for work; looking professional or unprofessional.

In the course ENC 1101 I learned how to organize my thoughts, how to do good essays and also I improved my writing. Having a different first language I feel like I give my best in this class because is kind of hard. Although I get grades that I wasn’t expecting I feel good because through those not too bad grades, I learned what kind of grammar errors I was doing. The content of this class was a good one because the paper that we wrote talked about now day not like in others classes that we have to write about things that we don’t know anything about it. To realize these projects there were clear directions that most of the time were helpful to complete the projects. It was beneficial to get feedbacks about our projects because in that way

All the research and work that I did for this project is going to help me with edTPA because it gave me an opportunity to learn about this principle that I will need to know to help children make goals for themselves. In rubric one of edTPA elementary handbook, it talks about how the candidate’s plan for instruction should have clear and consistent connections to the child’s related skills. The candidate should also use learning tasks to lead the students to independently apply the strategy and related skills. My project relates to this because I learned the importance of children setting moderately difficult goals and not goals that are too easy or too hard. To set a moderately difficult goal for a child I would have to know their skills they

As a new immigrant, I took the accuplacer test and went straight to 111 English level. So, English 111 course became my first college English class. It seems like a great achievement for a French speaker. Nonetheless, this performance linked to significant challenges. Even though I am a fighter and an optimist, I was frightened about my academic achievement for this semester. The problems became bigger when I took my first practice test on sentence structure (fragments and run-ons) and got a D. I was frightened and felt that I will have to drop the class. However, I decided not to give up. I started working hard and had a V+ on the next test. This positive grade energized me until now. During this semester, I have much homework and practices which allow me to identify some strengths, weaknesses, and gave me lots of skills for my English 112 class and the future.

In the two months I have been in soc 101 there have been many key things to take away from this course. The key thing that has stuck in my mind was culture. It was shocking to find out that about 55 percent of Canadians regard multiculturalism as good. Something that also caught my attention in the discussion of culture that was key was ethnocentrism which is the belief that one person is better than another solely on their heritage an example would be like a white person telling a Muslim person to take off their traditional clothing as he wants the Muslim to act like him and his culture he might feel threatened that they are coming here to take away his culture as if the white person does not have the same standards they want to change it

I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.

Writing research paper was harder than I expected. I have written the research paper in high school, but it was the first time I wrote a research paper without any given sources. In my high school, there were the provided sources which I could use to support my argument. However, for this assignment, I had to find all outside sources for my thesis, and it was the most difficult part to me. Before I started my research paper, I read many articles about the importance of writing skill in college and made the notes for the first draft. After that, I set up my argument first and started to background.

I am going to look back at a situation on my unit in the operating room (OR) where I implemented a change using some of the distinguishing characteristics authentic leaders posses according to Maria Shirey in 2006. I have worked in the OR for 13 years and have witnessed many changes take place, both good and bad. Our situation was unique because staffing coverage must be 24 hours due to our level 1 trauma status. The RN’s brought forward the current system used for scheduling during holidays was unfair with no apparent pattern. It was very random with many of the same RN’s working the majority of the holidays. Nurses comments ranged from, “Why am I always on the major holidays, I never get to spend the holidays with my family,” and “the same people are getting the holidays off, why is that?” Management overlooked the fairness for covering the schedule. Holiday coverage is reduced to two teams and a charge nurse which consists of five staff members, allowing more staff to be off. Everything was status quo to management until it was mentioned at a staff meeting with much dissatisfaction.

The dreaded English 102. Could this be my final English course in my career as a student? I don’t know for sure. I still need to decide what my major will be in. There is something that I know for sure, that is, needing to take this class to move on. I am not certain how my time in this class will go, but I plan to work hard to get the best grade that I can. Hence, I have decided to get this out of the way now, I look to fine-tune my writing skills, and I expect this course to help me understand my writing style.

Overall, I think my experience in my first college level English class was an admirable one to say the least. In high school I was never one to take advanced an English class for the simple fact that English is my worst subject and I am not a big fan of reading. I think this is mostly do to my lack of imagination, and since I am a visual learner, I have difficulty visualizing and understanding what I am reading. This intro to college writing classes has moved me one step closer to becoming the writer that I desire to be and has taught me many things, among them, avoiding plagiarism, application of constructive criticism, and making my writing more interesting.
