Eg 1023.50: A Social Analysis

According to the graph in Harmony, my grade has only fluctuated slightly since the beginning of the semester. However, there is still room for improvement. I think that if I had a little more time off from work and if I push myself a little bit harder, the quality of my writing would have improved a bit. Going along with this, if I could go back and rewrite an essay with a more qualitative style, I would have to rewrite the college essay. It was way too redundant and predictable and it is not the kind of writing I want to be known for, I wish to write more engaging pieces. Also, despite wanting to rewrite the college essay, I feel like the best piece of writing was the rhetorical analysis I did about pastors refusing to wed same-sex couples. It is the best one I have written because while I wrote about a topic that is familiar to me, I wrote about a controversial, opposing

The majority of them were in my English classes and a few essays for other classes, which takes only a few days to compose. I mainly took standard English classes and one honors throughout high school. The grades I've received from my writings and also for the class are mainly B's and a few A's, nevertheless, I would like to receive an A in this class. At this point, you might be frowning and begin to question my previous statement. How could someone who only worked hard enough just to receive a B's will receive an A in this class? I am also not a very experienced writer as I've established earlier. I also fully understand that this course will be more challenging than any of my previous English classes, hence I am having an anxiety attack while writing this essay, nevertheless I truly want to become a better writer. A good writing skill is one of the keys to become successful. You will be required to be able to intellectually express yourself to

This was especially apparent in my English class- we barely ever wrote, and what we did write was graded almost entirely on completion, not quality. However, this outlook would have to change. When I registered at Rancho Bernardo, I made sure to take challenging classes, including Honors English 10, Honors Precalculus/Trigonometry, AP Psychology, and Honors Chemistry. In Precalculus and Chemistry, I started fine, as I immediately realized that I would have to try way harder by doing all of my homework and studying outside of my homework, which I had rarely, if ever, done prior to 10th grade. In Honors English, however, I was not able to get an A just by doing the homework and studying. We wrote 3 at-home essays each semester, and each one was worth 12% of our grade. Due to my lack of essay-writing in my Honors English class last year, I was completely unprepared for these essays, and did poorly on one. Because I was still new to Rancho Bernardo, I was somewhat unsure of how to do better on essays, and I did not think of asking other students for help. I did know that there were other students on the cross country team who had taking this same class in prior years, so I asked

A successful semester is the fruit of a hard work. Students obtain good grades because they had studied the entire semester, they have done all their assignments, and they submitted all their works before the due date. In order to achieve that students have to be responsible. English 1301 is one of the required classes I have to pass in order to have my associate degree in Science. The responsibility I assign myself for this class was to comply with the syllabus, to attend class every time we meet, to be on time in class and to submit assignments before or on the due date, to participate in my peer group, and to get help from the English and the Richland College Writing Lab for my essays.

English Composition is a college accredited course offered to all students, typically most are seniors. As the only junior that would be taking English Composition I felt compelled to prove my worth of being capable of handling the course. Since the goal of the class is to introduce students to college writing the final was a research paper worth 20% of our grade. The subject I choose to write about was whether or not learning in front of a screen can replace the human face or not. After submitting this paper I felt like I had undoubtedly put my best foot forward and completed the assignment to the best of my ability. As a result, not only received an A on the paper, but I had successfully showed that I was capable of higher

This semester has been quite different, mainly because I took a few different English classes that I normal wouldn’t have taken. I took a ‘reading’ class; I miss reading classes in school. Don’t get me wrong, writing classes are important too, and I’m not just saying that because I’m writing this essay for a writing class. They’re important due to the fact that they teach valuable lessons like correct punctuation, grammar, spelling, dictation and most importantly, how to bull crap your way through any paper.

In the beginning of the semester (first four papers), my thesis was both clear and supported as each essay was handed in to be evaluated. On the other hand, my mechanics within my essays were always weak. I received countless grades that consisted of “A” for the thesis portion of the essay, and usually “F” for my mechanic’s portion. This poor grade which levels out to a grade of “C” left me confused because I always received “A’s” in high

Starting out this semester I had been just as apprehensive, not knowing what to expect from an actual English course based upon writing. I had only hoped that I progressed enough with my writing ability that I would not struggle with the course. My goal at the beginning of the semester had been to complete a writing assignment in less than four hours. My insecurity caused additional time to be taken on the assignment before I felt that it could be submitted

My senior year I have learn a lot thanks to my teachers that been helping me improve in writing throughout the year. All the information my teachers been given me help me outside of school on how to write letters on why should I be accepted into their college. I been putting time and effort on becoming a better writer. Although I been absent some days where my teacher has gone over expository and persuasive I am confident that this has no affect on me. I’m sure it does not affect me because why im absent I just study at home and the next day I ask my teacher for the lesson I missed in class.

Walking into the class during syllabus week I was sure that we would have so many lengthy writing assignments that I would write the night before they were due. My expectations were very wrong. We did not have to write ten page papers every week, rather we used a process that benefited me in many ways by helped me engage in my writing. In 4 short units of writing, I learned more than I ever did in my prior 12 years of schooling and I accomplished my goal of becoming a more mature writer. My writing became full of many layers and concepts that had never crossed my mind in the past. I finally turned my boring vanilla cake into a marvelous piece of art (or the start of one at least).

First of all, in-class essays are generally quite difficult to write when compared to occasional papers because when you are at home typing your occasional paper you have all the resources in the world to assist you in writing your essay. By writing all of these essays and getting helpful feedback on each and every one of them my writing has vastly improved, in my opinion. Writing these various essays was a tedious task but, ultimately paid off in the end and has helped me in various ways. It has helped me improve my grade in this class and has helped in preparation for the ACT and SAT. I am not the greatest writer in the writer in the world but, I am also not the worst. I need to improve my writing and I know that not only because of my grades in this class but also from other sources. To specify my improvement, I believe that I have most improved specifically in my vocabulary. I knew before that my vocabulary was very weak and that was one of the major reasons my writing was not the greatest. After studying a lot of vocabulary and writing various essays, my vocabulary has naturally improved and assisted my

I breathed a sigh of relief as I read a stream of texts from my friends complaining about our AP Language and Composition class summer homework. It was the night before the first day of junior year, and they anxiously texted how they weren’t even close to being done or how they seemed to get severe writers block. I, on the other hand, had not only finished our analytical movie review assignment a week before, but had it proofread, printed, and ready to turn in during class the next day. I was confident and proud of my work and went to bed filled with the typical first day of school jitters.

Writing class is the last check on my list of daily activities. After I leave Villa Ulivi, my day is over. During class, I have my moments that are clear indicators as to how my day has gone. There are good days and bad days, and I know it shows. Based on class participation, my involvement varies.

Starting with in-class-essays, my overall grades have not necessarily shown how much I have improved as a writer. Taking a closer look at the Emerson essay, I was gone for the initial

For starters, I have earned an A by making it a goal to improve on my writing skills. Which, I have done by learning different writing techniques also by staying focused, and striving towards academic success. I have excelled well throughout the whole course by making it a priority of being in class everyday in the end I was able to receive all of the writing skills that were taught and put them to use by being in class every day I was able to get all key information needed for writing a good essay. I made sure to arrange all other things in my life around
