English 1301 Reflective Report

My overall experience in English 1301 has definitely changed the manner in which I think, write, and read. I have learned a great deal in this class, mainly on how to write an extended definition essay and also how to effectively include commentary in an essay. These new things as well as many others that I have learned in this class will help me succeed in other classes. I believe these skills will help me succeed because I can apply it to other essays I write and also discussions. I think something that I did not know very well when I came into this class was grammar. After I took the first grammar quiz, I felt a little lost. This changed once the answer key was released and I really tried to understand the concept. I can now correct grammar

With the anxiety flowing throughout my body, I knew the time was near of facing my English 1301 class. Being told that I needed to improve my writing during my grade school days, I knew that I didn’t feel at ease going into a college level English class.

However, having the privilege of having an amazing professor I believe my writing skills improved, also I was able to find my confidence.

At 11:15 on Monday, August 17, 2015, my first official college class, English 1101, began. In general, I had no idea what college classes would be like let alone how college English would be. Even though this class taught me a great deal in one semester, it took a large amount of time and effort to make the adjustment from high school. The simplistic writing style of high school was put to rest the moment the first college English class began. As a result, I learned quickly that college writing is complex and less systematic than high school writing. Five paragraph essays with three strict body paragraphs were no longer the norm for writing. Even though my professor helped guide my writing, I was no longer coddled through the whole writing

What have I learned in English 102? When I began this class, I had not taken a formal English class in over thirty years. I understood sentence structure and essay writing to a point. To elaborate my understanding was based on story telling rather than research and factual commentary. Of course, rhetorical review and research was foreign to me. I had a loose understanding but had never practiced or been in a position to apply these skills. Or at least that is what I thought. Since beginning this course, I have found it both challenging and enlightening. I feel that my skills have developed over the last few weeks and a greater understanding of what it takes to identify and understand complicated subjects has progressed. Not just that I can read difficult scholarly text, but that I can focus on what they are trying to say, their argument, and then develop my own counter argument in support of or against the authors statements. It is more than just saying I concur or I do not agree with you. It is stating how my point of view differs and supporting my statements logically and directly with facts, not just conjecture. Within the following paragraphs I will discuss, in more detail, the specific areas where I feel I have matured and how I intend to apply this new-found knowledge to my future writing as well as reading materials to assess their value.

In English 102 I would consider it to be the best education academic writing experience of my education. There would be times where I could say I struggled the most in class was with my grammar and word choices. Throughout my attendance, I intended to prove myself to Professor Hohmann, who is an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) that I can write professionally as a student. I created six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can compose assignments and research as well as my peer college classmates. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes, career and in life. One of the assignments was a research paper on a specific topic that I desired, which needed to be a debatable discussion. An additional task that helped me out with my writing was the

Taking English 1102 my second semester has given me the opportunity to develop my professional writing skills. I learned how to use the writing process effectively by brainstorming ideas, making drafts, and peer evaluations. In addition, I learned the title should give the reader a clue about the main idea of the paper. In my opinion, writing is simply expressing thoughts in a definite form. This self-assessment essay will reflect on my most successful and problematic assignments, errors in my writing, and how I have changed as a writer over the semester.
