Final Rationale Analysis

A semester has passed since I started college and my journey of becoming a better writer. It has been a very important semester for my future college career, and I would not be here without the things I have accomplished. The composition program has really helped me to prepare for what college writing is all about. Now standing here and looking back I could not imagine how it would be without that class. I believe my English, and my writing is better than it has ever been, and all thanks to the composition program.

As the semester comes to a close, it is always interesting to look back and reflect on the events and opportunities my English class has given me throughout my first semester as a whole. At the beginning of this semester it was evident that I was feeling uncomfortable due to the adjustment that I was going through as a student moving to college. It was very difficult expressing myself through my writing since I was nervous about good impressions and my good grade. While this class was one of the most difficult courses that I have taken this far, it has become quite evident to me that I have grown a substantial amount as a writer and as a person; Especially, when it came to explaining my ideas, writing academic essays, and making arguments.

Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate my voice more in my essays and I believe

Pushing ahead, I hope that I can achieve my goals to become a nurse. I know that there will be more English classes in my future. I think I will choose to take them in a classroom setting. I also will try to be more diligent in getting my assignments completed correctly the first time and on time. This class has encouraged me to be more proficient at the Blackboard and logging in to read my updates more regularly. I hope that my next English class doesn’t rely on essays so much, just because it is not one of my strengths. English 111 was defiantly a learning experience for

The past two semesters were great experiences. Within this past school year my knowledge as a reader and writer has improved. It felt like it was just yesterday, when I had a lot of difficulty writing and poor reading strategies. Now, as I said before, I am an improved writer and reader. The assignments and class activities over the two semesters were great benefits to me, and helped me make progress towards the first year learning goals.

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.

Instead, you were willing to help me when I would ask for help. I found this juster of yours so meaningful because you never laughed when I didn’t know how to spell certain words or have knowledge of the definition of words that I should have known since elementary. For example, when I didn't know what "excluded" or "irrelevant" meant and how to spell “suppose” or “library” and I’m talking about junior year in high school were there were many words I never understood or couldn't spell. However, you taught me the meaning of those words and how to spell them, from that day forward I focus on the way people talk and would listen to the vocabulary they would use. I came to the realization that I never had an understanding of the meaning of half the words people would use and half of the words adults used I could’t spell and define them. You taught me to pay careful attention to the words adults would speak and take those words I couldn't understand and defined them and use those words to better my essays. Although you still continue to get higher scores on your essays than me, because I'm still not college level as I’m suppose to be, but I am better than how I was in the past, with that being said I want to thank you for your

Also remember that writing is process which takes time to perfect. English has never been one of my favorite subjects, mainly just because I never really consider myself to be a good writer and by the normal standard I may not be. In a sense though, I found contrary to my belief that my writing wasn’t all that bad. Now it took time for me to see that for myself, because

This is Kaydence Mullin. Hi remember me? Haha okay well i'm writing this to say thank you in many different ways. Thank you for helping me with my math.

This rationale paper reviews the department of defense Inspector general. The initial mission for the department when it was formed in 1982 was to serve as an independent supervisor to the department of defense. The powers and responsibilities of the department are drawn from the inspector general Act of 1978. The key tasks of the department were to monitor, evaluate, and investigate all the operations of the department of defense. The department was also expected to provide leadership in policy development for the department. The policies should be designed to promote economic development and optimal resource allocation to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of defense programs.

During this semester, I have learned a great deal about my own writing, and writing in general. One of the main takeaways from this course for me was how to break down the intricate process of writing papers. In addition, I developed viable skills regarding going into more in-depth detail during each step of the writing process. I enjoyed having the freedom to write about a topic that I was able to choose. This allowed me to research and write about something that actually interested me immensely. Having to work with one topic for the entire semester taught me how to find reliable resources and how to pick out the essential research from each article.

It has truly been a pleasure being apart of this class and a blessing. I’ve strengthen my written and learned more about life by being in this class and having you as a teacher. Professor Lyn you have made me push myself more than any of my other college professors this school year. Hearing and knowing about how precise and hard you are when you grade your student’s work had me coming into this class with the mindset of knowing that I have to work my hardest to achieve an high grade in this class. My weaknesses in my writings before this class were my punctuations and grammar choice at times. My strengths that I’ve always had when writing was being able analyze my readings extremely well and always being able brainstorm great ideas to put down

Throughout the year of writing in this class I do believe my skills have improved from where they were at the beginning of the year. I like how as we learned new writing techniques it would be a requirement in the next writing project. This helped me practes the technique by using it in my writing. The difficulty of the writing this semester was at a good place I was challenged but it wasn’t so hard I was hopeless. As a writer I have enjoyed this class and pieces we have written in it. One of the reasons why is the Into the Wild essay. With this essay I was pulled in. I pushed myself to do better than any of my other writing this year, and with the new skills from next semester I hope I can do the same.
