English Reflective Report

As I entered into English 101, I had the expectation of writing many unimaginative papers, while stressing if I was going to be able to complete my college and high school tasks. On top of all that, I was afraid of having a monotonous, boring professor. I soon realized that these assumptions were all invalid. I managed my tasks by completing everything in a timely manner and needed all the advice I could get from an outstanding English professor. When I enter English 102 in the fall, I have the expectation of being in a more language based composition class. My goals for English 102 are to continue to improve my writing skills, complete my work on time, and obtain information that I can use as I proceed in college. After I accomplish English 102, I hope to be able to be an improved writer and be able to convey ideas more

During this semester, the realization of my past was that I have often skimmed through parts of the writing process to get the job done. Not being an avid reader often hindered my writing abilities. This class most definitely made me realize that the entire writing process is important and having peer reviews also helped significantly and certainly made a difference in the result of my work. Taking the time to read, brainstorm my thoughts, write an outline, rough draft after rough draft, reading constructive criticism of others helped in the revisions of my papers’ reaching the best possible outcome. When selecting English 102, I knew I would be challenged, but to what extent I was unsure. If like past English courses that were taken learning to write essays would be the goal. Once realizing that my work would be shared with others, providing informed information

In this assignment I address the pivotal moment in my development as a writer and how this event is changing me. I reflected on college English class at Azusa Pacific University that I am currently taking. Initially In this essay I will be discussing my driver for this class and explore how English course is a fundamental skill in my nursing career.

In English 102 I would consider it to be the best writing experience of my life. There would be times where I would say that it was the most struggling class I ever had with my grammar and word choices. I would always have to prove my self to Professor Hohmann who is are an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) That I can write professionally as a student. I would have six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can write as good as a college student. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes and in life. One of the assignments where the research paper for the topic that I liked of which that there needed to be two sides. Another task that helped me out with my writing was the

In a span of five weeks, one can learn an immense amount of information. My experience in English 1301 has already taught me many different things. Coming into this class, I expected to discover many new concepts that I had yet to learn while also incorporating some past knowledge that I had already obtained. I have discovered things that I didn’t know at all, things that I don’t know how to do but expect to learn, and things that I know how to do but need to perfect.

I am interested in taking English llA because I want to challenge myself into learning more things and becoming a better writer. Throughout the year I have learned to improve my writing skills by learning how to use MLA citations properly which were different from the way I used them in middle school. I was glad I learned more about this which fixed my writing and will help me later in writing essays. Given a chance to take English IIA, I would be able to learn numerously more skills and widen my variety of

Proficient writing is an essential skill in all aspects of academic and professional achievement. English 101, Introduction to Composition and Rhetoric, provided the framework to good writing, teaching me composition and rhetoric fundamentals, polishing up my grammar and style, and expressing a clear message. English 102, Composition, Rhetoric, and Research, continued to build on the skills I learned in English 101, focusing on the subject matter research process and employing various rhetorical and literary devices to better express a clear message to the reader. The course also improved my critical thinking capacity, allowing me to culturally evaluate my target audience, present logically flowing arguments using appropriate language and structure, and critically reviewing my writing projects for content and expression. Every writer inherently knows there’s always room to improve and I hold fast to this mindset in all academic, professional, and personal writing projects. English 102 has both challenged and inspired me to grow into a much better writer than before I began the class, providing the necessary skills to be not just a good writer, but a great writer.

My goals this semester for English 111 are to improve my organization skills, spelling, plurals and passives. I knows that it going to be a challenge for me to improve everything in very short time. I will have to do my best in every assignment and works harder than others students. Everything I do I put my best effort into it and I hope that my effort in this class will help me improve my writing skill. This is only a start to a harder classes and I know the efforts I put into the works will not makes me disappointed. By the end of this class I hope that I made at least a B (maybe A) and improve my organization skills, spelling, plurals and passives.

Writing 102 has taught a lot about myself. When I first signed up for this class, I was a little nervous about taking a literature based writing course. I have never really been interested in literature. I originally signed up for the literature writing class because it was the only class that worked into my schedule. Once we were a few weeks into the semester, I gradually started to warm up to the idea of writing and analyzing literature. I don’t know if it was noticeable in my writing, but I feel that

Throughout my high school experience english classes were presented with very strict guidelines. They provided us with rubrics and prompts, laying out exactly what they wanted us to turn in. Telling us what the essay had to be about, how the thesis had to direct connect and answer the question and how much context from the story we needed. There was not ever creative assignments and writing about personal experience, just reflecting on text from class.

I think my writing has improved a lot Since working on journals. Since learning from my english instructor I have learned and remembered many knew things. First as an old writer, i did not think much about writing skills that you need in papers period. For example Like commas i would hardly ever use them because i did not understand what the punctuation was really used for, not only did i not use commas but i never capitalize the letter i when referring to my self In writings. Journal writing really has help me in understanding my mistakes and helping me grow in my writing skills. For the most part i have learned how to think of good topics thats works with me, and how I can come up with lots of ideas quickly. Second writing journals has

This semester in English 102, I can definitely say my time was well spent. Each assignment that I completed benefited me as a student so that I could become a better reader and writer. With the skills I learned in this class, I will use them to my advantage in future English courses and other educational endeavors. Being able to read, write, research, and think are important skills to have in order to be successful in any area of study. Nevertheless, I believe that by taking this class I was able to reinforce and expand on my skills I took away from English 101.

I entered this class with a general idea of what was going to be expected of me and what I was going to have to accomplish in order to be successful, and I credit the extent of my preparation for this course to the extensive instruction and critiques provided for me by my high school teachers. By them I was taught the fundamentals of composition which allowed me the time and energy to more deeply understand the intricacies of good writing which I would be taught in college. Although I learned many new concepts in English 101, I feel as though I had a stable foundation to build on and enhance with more refined skills.

From time segment 4:00 to 5:10 (video 1), I use Socratic questioning to promote deeper level thinking and understanding about standing waves in one medium. During this time segment, I asked a student to tell me what his data suggested. The student responded that his data suggested that the wave speeds should be equal. His response was accurate; however, I had him expand the answer by asking him to tell me why his wave speeds were supposed to be the same. The student thought about it and realized that the medium–a long spring–was always the same; this made his answer better, and he then understood that waves in the same medium propagate with the same speed regardless of frequency and wavelength changes. I took advantage of the situation and

Considering I had come from a country where English was not the first language I would say my speaking and writing skills were not the best. Despite that, when I registered for this class I had a goal for myself, which I intended on reaching by the end of the semester so I could improve my English. Looking back on my work throughout this English 1020 course, more specifically project 3 and blogs, I have learned how to strongly develop ideas and analyzing information which is useful in building a strong argument.
