We were asked to write 4 essays throughout the entirely of this course. Each of the essays included an original version, followed by a revision memo, and last but not least a final revised version of the essay. After we completed an essay, the professor would grade our original essay and provide feedback on how to further improve on our final revised essay. We then would have to take his corrections into consideration and write 2 paragraphs on how to fix our mistakes called a revision memo. The first essay we were asked to write an “Argument Description”. For this essay, it was required for the students to find the writer’s primary and secondary claims of a particular essay chosen from the Best American Essays book and describe how they work. Secondly, we were asked to write an “Argument Analysis”. In this essay it required the same work as the “Argument Description” essay, but we were asked to find the implications in the claims stated. The next essay, Professor Stuart asked us to write was a “Genre Analysis”. Our final essay was called an “Argument in Literature”. (DESCRIBE THE ESSAYS COLLECTIVELY)
The average person hears the word memoir and believe deeply that it is solely their memory, when in actuality it is the recalling of thoughts through influence. When I started to write this paper, I immediately thought of my graduation in May 2015. But it was hard for me to distinguish what I truly thought and what I had heard others say. So I went on to think of the summer program at Dillard through Emerging Scholars June 2015. Here, I thought this would be great, because there was no family around to tell me how great it was, but then I thought about all the other things that students and faculty had said and that made me indecisive on whether or not I wanted to continue on that path. I then decided that I should write about my first semester

Scott Adams shares with us the ideal framework for an entrepreneurial curriculum. In his article How to Get a Real Education, he reinforces the fact that the whole is far greater than the sum of these parts, especially in the context of an entrepreneur. Adams tells us of a couple stories from when he was in college and how he used the skills of an entrepreneur to become successful. He saw opportunities, sometimes embedded within problems, and worked them to his favor. This is what he referred to when speaking of the learned skill of transforming “nothing into something”, which is a skill that obviously applies to business. His basic idea is that much academic-oriented education is wasted on many

This essay will describe and analyse my prior experiences during the course, related with what I have learnt about myself as a writer and learner. The thoughts I had before the beginning of the course where different from what they are now, but the important issue is to explain how they evolve throughout the last three months.

Almost Eight weeks have elapsed since the start of English Composition and in these short eight weeks, I have absorbed a tremendous amount of information that I will be taking with me in my pursuit of a college degree. I have mentioned many times in this class that I have been absent from college for almost twenty-five years. Restarting the educational process has not been an easy undertaking. English Composition, in particular, has been a problematic area for me, currently and historically. Gratefully, throughout this class, I have been given valuable instruments that I can take along with me class by class. Through the last eight weeks of this term, I have regained some footing I lost through the years with the aid of the tools presented in this class. The use of the eLearning material by MindEdge as well as the continuing support of Professor Morrison and my fellow students through the utilization of the discussion board has enabled me to flourish beyond my expectations.

English Composition has taught me countless different skills that I can now apply to future writing projects. Among many things, the three lessons that I got the most use out of are the following; how to correctly structure an essay, different methods of writing, and the personal growth that I’ve had since taking this class. With English being my second language, it is difficult for me to express myself in writing form. It is extremely frustrating to have countless ideas and opinions that I would like to share with an audience, but because I am not comfortable with writing, I stay silent for many things. Taking this course has helped me open up as a person and express some of my views. Writing is a form of art that many people forget about or avoid. Art is a beautiful subject that help many people express themselves. Art comes in numerous forms, for example, drawing, painting, music, dance, and even writing. I believe that it is important to keep art alive as it shows the beauty of the world through a multitude of eyes. That is why I will vouch that reading and writing need to be kept active in every culture.
Writing is something I enjoy doing to share my opinions and ideas. During this english course, I have learned how to change my writing in ways that make it more intriguing and effective. The essays I have written during this English 101 course have pushed me to change my writing process and write more creatively. Those essays have also forced me to reanalyze my personal opinions and beliefs. After taking this course, I believe that my identity as a writer has changed for the better.
Over the course of this semester this class has allowed me to grow in many ways and helped me to reach my full potential. Throughout this class, I have had to write four separate essays which have all taught me something different. The first essay was about the theme of impotence in the summer reading novels, which has taught me about that struggles of daily life after World War I and World War II. Similarly, the second essay was about a memoir that taught me that even though life may have many uncontrollable struggles, you don’t have to let those struggles hold you back your entire life. The third essay I wrote was about the reflection of social issues in music. When writing this essay I had learned about the social issues in the 1960’s and 1990’s and how they compare to the today’s social concerns. Lastly, the essay about education had brought my attention towards the unseen issues taking place in higher education. Along with learning about the topics I had written about, I have also learned many skills and grammar rules that have improved my writing such as writing in an active voice, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and first references.
