in this on-line English 101 summer course, I was a bit hesitant and nervous, as I wasn’t sure what to expect. I prefer the physical element of a classroom setting with other students, which provides the visual, hands on environment, allowing me to focus strictly on the subject. The on-line class was the only option available; therefore, I decided to give it a go. I was concerned as this was my first on-line class and I wasn’t familiar with the process. Participating in this class has been challenging
overview of my first semester I would say went well all the way through the end. Every single one of my class I was able to complete all my assignments on time and I didn’t need to ask for extended periods on any of them. Out of all my classes I was most happy with how well I was able to understand my computer science class, especially with that being my intended major. I enjoyed my English class a lot, but I struggled with the papers the because I don’t see myself as that good of a writer and its
level English class into a college level class this year was a major step for me. I had been told multiple times that high school is guided learning while college is not and that made me rather uneasy. I've taken multiple AP classes so I assumed that this English class would be no different from a AP English in high school. At first glance over the syllabus, I realized that I was wrong. I had underestimated the level of self-motivation and commitment that is needed to succeed in this class. I knew
this class I never liked my English classes more specifically writing essays for them. I didn’t understand much of how to use strategies while writing essays and focuses little on learning it. By taking this class and using the strategies that I was provided with it made taking this class easy and enjoyable while writing analytical essays. I was willing to put in the effort and do my part in order to get a good grade in this English class and it worked. I feel that my performance in an English class
would have to take for my first semester of college, I was really hoping that English was not one of them. For as long as I can remember English was the one subject that I dreaded. It would immediately put me into a bad mood. So when I found out that I would have to take W131 as a prerequisite for nursing school, I am sure you can imagine my reaction. I was bummed to say the least. It is not that I am terrible at English, I actually do not think that I am that bad. It is simply the fact that it is
Over the course of this semester, I have found myself becoming more and more appreciative of the English language. I admit that English class is neither my strongest nor my favorite subject, so when presented with the option of earning honors credit within my class, I took it on as a challenge and, halfway into the year, am very glad I did. Each assignment has forced me to evaluate the purpose of literature on a much higher level, a level which I likely would not have attained absent of the assignments
confidence that AP Upper-Mid English has been unlike any other English course that I have taken during my academic career. Put plainly, the material and in-class instruction of the class is revelatory in every sense of the term, and, overall, the organization and matter of the course was exceptional. In terms of the organization of the course as a whole, I believe that the English Department was able to successfully distill all of the dominant aspects of learning that an English class epitomizes into the
I have benefited from English class activities this semester in a plethora of ways. I feel that all the activities in class are valuable. First, I feel that writing essays, assists students to ameliorate their writing skills. After my first essay draft, I noticed my writing skills meliorated, and my second draft grade postulated that. Second, I feel professor comments are helpful since I get additional accurate feedback, although student feedback is decent. Third and last, I am benefited by just
Throughout this semester, I was able to learn quite a bit in English 200. This class helped me recognize what my weaknesses and strengths are when it comes to writing essays. I also liked the different focuses and assignments that we had to do for this class. If someone asked me what is a good writing intensive class to take, I would recommend this class because of the papers that we wrote helped us focus on our disciplines. The only paper that did not really focus on our discipline was the research
Susie Vickery English 104 Reflection Paper It’s hard to believe that my amazing journey in English 104 is coming to an end. The journey has been so much more enjoyable than I initially expected. I have tried to avoid taking English 104 numerous times because reading and writing have not been my strong points. Each time I attempted to take this course, I dropped it due to a particular instructor style, or a boring set of literary materials. This time around was different, as I set my goal to
