English 111 Class Reflection

English Comp 1 was an eye opening experience. The course was emotionally and physically draining, but I strongly believe it prepared me for Comp 2. Learning and improving are a few of the rewards I received through hard work and dedication during the course. Throughout English comp 1, I discovered my biggest weakness. I improved some of my various difficulties, and I achieved a rewarding high point.

First off, I want to thank you for making this year and my first honors English experience fun for me! Though this year was challenging for me, it has also been extremely knowledgeable. From my freshman year to sophomore year, I can definitely notice the difference in my writing and reading. I can definitely see how much I have grown, and I am sure you could see these improvements too. Last year, I was in regular English and jumping from regular to honors was a huge step for me, which at first, I was not fully comfortable with. But as I got to know this year’s class and of course you, Mrs. Walker, I felt like I belonged here, in an honors English class. Throughout this year, I have learnt and improved at my skills of properly annotating texts, writing a proper claim, analyzing author’s style, and also analyzing rhetorical situations.

“Finally!” I thought to myself as summer is slowly approaching, “I am done with this high school forever.” I honestly am so excited for summer that each day I count down the number days I have for school. Moreover, I constantly think of the activities that I will do during the summer that sound a lot better than school. Despite being overjoyed of leaving high school, I certainly would not deny that I have tremendously improved as a writer. True, as mentioned in all of my previous reflective essays, I still despise English; however, I have to grudgingly admit College Credit Plus English 1010 refined my writing skills from my junior year in AP English class. My classmates and teacher pointed out some ways that I could brush up my essays, which

As the semester was coming to a beginning I honestly thought I was ready for this course. I say this because senior year high school I took an advanced placement English class. I also, say I was ready to start this course because I have had practice with English and writing essays during my summer before beginning Fall year. I would get good grades on my essays both my AP English class and my Summer English class. So with that being said I thought I was going to do good in this course. As I began this course and saw that we were only going to be doing three essays and a portfolio for the whole year, I thought I was so ready for the semester. I thought this class was going to be one of my easiest class. As assignments were coming up I thought

I have several expectations for success in English 101, from my teacher, from my classmates, and from myself. In this course I expect my teacher, Mrs. Carroll, to demonstrate how to properly compose interviews, essays, and research papers. I also hope to learn how to write the papers in the correct formats. Additionally, I expect my classmates to be courteous, to avoid being disruptive, and to be respectful. Furthermore, I expect myself to strive for greatness, to never give up, and to improve daily. I expect many different things from many individuals, but I realize that is the only way to be successful in life and in English 101.

I am excited to begin learning in your English 10 Honors class this year. I know this class will give me experience as a writer while challenging me at the same time. Over the summer, I was able to complete a Geography class, bringing my total of college units earned up to six. Personally, the best part of summer vacation was getting to spend time with my family, something irreplaceable by any other event.

This course was something different for me. It was about slasher films, so I loved it from the beginning. What I wasn’t a big fan of, though, was the focus on communication. I hate being forced to talk or mingle or whatever because I’m bad at it. It’s why I sit in the back of the class two seats away from anyone. It’s just how I am. However, this course forced me to mingle because every single assignment was to be done with a partner. It also didn’t help that the whole reason that course was here was to make us better multimodal communicators. That was nothing new, however, as I had already suffered through English 1101 the previous semester. That being said, I was a terrible oral communicator, but now I am merely bad. It’s a step up. Two steps up in my book.

Did I learn anything? The short answer is yes, of course, I learned something. But since that is not good enough for this paper I will explore further. So my ONLY goal this semester was to get ‘A’ so that I can increase my GPA, and that is the most important thing to me right now. So not getting an ‘A’ will make me hate this class, label myself a failure, and cause me to bang my head against the wall until I forget everything.

If I would have to describe College English in two words they would be time-consuming. After I had concord my first paper the concept essay I thought I was at the top of the world. Until we quickly got the next assignment, the opposing viewpoints essay. My world has tumbled back down to earth as I got to work. I chose global warming because I thought it was a topic that many don’t know about, but it affects everyone in the world. Once again, I made a readable plan to pick the two sides of my debate on global warming, after made an outline that would convey the two sides of the debate on global warming. Once, I had a stable outline I began to research and take notes on the information. Then, when I had acquired the information I found suitable for my paper I finally started writing a rough draft. Next, when done with my rough draft we had partners to do the revision. Through the many hardships, I had to face such as rewriting multiple rough drafts, plenty corrections that needed to be made, and the long sleepless nights I would accomplish my college English paper again. There are still many stages of the process that were challenging. In short, I have learned a great amount, about global warming and about writing college-level papers.

This first semester at the University of Akron has flown by. I learned many new writing concepts that helped me become a better writer. English composition was a required class that I had to take in order to get my degree. Although this class was required I still wanted to take this class to become more knowledgeable about writing. Coming into English Composition I was worried about all of the papers and the workload that I would have to complete. I knew that I was going to have to write a lot more than I previously had in highschool, but I was unsure of just how much. The works that I decided to include in my portfolio comprise of my Literacy Narrative, Image Analysis Paper, and essay titled Mayas Hardships based on Maya’s experiences in I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. I selected these works because I felt that they are the ones that require the most improvement to them. The papers i've chosen show how far I’ve came In English Composition.

I have only been attending Cleveland State University for two semesters, and as this course comes to an end I feel like I grown and learned many techniques more than ever. I came to Cleveland State University with only my high school knowledge on how to format an argumentative essay, and throughout this course I now know how to write and format many other papers. Taking English 100 has taught me how to break down and analyze an article, it taught me how to find confidence in my work, and it helped me grow to an even better writer.
