Downs & Wardle’s “Teaching about writing, Righting Misconceptions: (Re) Envisioning “First Year Composition” as “Introduction to Writing Studies” talks about several ways to refer to writing and our response to it. As well as the misconceptions students have towards the proper way of writing and how they have managed to break the “college writing” stereotype and discover their own way of writing.

In “Expectations for College Writing,” the author indicates the importance of thinking and communicating to succeed after college. A writer’s style acknowledges a social or academic expression.

Writing isn’t simply a skill that you can check off your list. The point of taking writing courses in college is to help you grow as an author and researcher. Take advantage of the great writing resources — including required composition courses — that your institution has to offer, to help you become the best writer possible!

There is a multitude of jobs and careers I want to have, as some of you may know, but I think we’re only allowed to talk about one. However, there is one job in particular that I know that I’ll do, whether I’m paid for it or not. That job is writing. Not only do you need language skills, but I believe that you will need creativity and an immense amount of patience in order to be a successful writer of any sort.

Throughout the first eight week’s courses, Amy demonstrated a high level of competencies in understanding and applying theory into practice. She was also able to utilize the supports provided to her through the college to vastly improve her professional writing skills, limiting her grammatical errors and increasing her well-deserved passing grades.

Going into ENG 102 I aim to challenge myself as a writer and an online learner. Having never taken an online class at Stout before, I look forward to this new experience. By taking ENG 102 online I would like to improve my time management skills, by having the freedom to take ENG 102 while I also take a speech class this semester is important to me. While I enjoy writing, my greatest weaknesses are spelling and grammar. By improving my weaknesses, I plan to develop a more professional writing style, along with expending my vocabulary. Throughout high school, I greatly enjoyed reading, and discussions, that come along with analyzing literary works. Two of my favorite authors are Donna Tratt and Willa Cather, I look forward to learning with

As the Fall 2017 term comes to end, I look back on what I have accomplished in this class. English 102 – Composition II was one of the most challenging and toughest class I have taken at UW-Stout, but feel as though it has helped me to improve my writing skills. Even before the semester started the feeling of anxiety had taken over, as writing has never been my strongest skill, but stayed positive and confident I would be successful. Much to my surprise, my instructor, Michael Critchfield quickly addressed that this class would not be easy and amazingly changed my views of writing throughout the entire semester.

I am Antonio Maravillas and this is my second semester at UWM. I previously attended UW-Parkside for two years. Since the only English course I have taken in my college education was at Parkside, I am a bit unfamiliar with UWM’s first year writing program. Based on my impressions thus far, I believe that this course will focus a lot on research based writing, contrary to the class I took at Parkside which was focused on general writing.

Writing has been a massive part of my life ever since I was a small child. Like all children, I had a wild imagination. I was in elementary school when I had discovered my love of writing. We had been tasked to write a narrative about a turkey who had been chosen for the Thanksgiving feast. I had thought the assignment to be tedious and boring at first, but soon found that I couldn't take my pencil away from the paper as my creative juices had begun to flow. That was just the beginning! Over the years, I have written many narratives filled with the kooky things that appear in my head. I love putting the products of my overactive imagination down on paper. I am interested in attending GHP in this area of study because I feel that the experience

I love the ability to dive into a whole new world and forget about reality for a while, to become a new person. I can do that by simply reading books of course, but I love the ability to create my own world, my own story, and make up everything I want. I love dragons and other mythological creatures; I love mythology in general, really. The stories are so fascinating. I love stories. However, I recognize that creative writing does not consist of just fiction; I want to explore nonfiction writing, playwriting, and poetry as well. And I believe that to write well sometimes requires a wide range of knowledge in many subject areas. For this, I admire Carnegie Mellon’s curriculum for creative writing that aims to broaden knowledge in a variety of areas such as cultural heritage and analytical thinking.

Dixie: I don’t think that I would peruse creativity writing if I was not in a college program. This is something that I have to do to get my degree. I will work hard at trying to get through this course with the help of the advice that I do get back on my grades. I am hoping to learn a lot by taking this class and will be a better writer when done with this class.

Adelphi University has been on my radar since my junior year of High School when I attended the Alice Hoffman Young Writers Retreat. That summer I found a community committed to finding new ways to communicate ideas that entertained, but could still touch your heart. While bonding we created a space where ideas and critiques were shared freely, and encouragement was given with an open heart. Adelphi’s faculty and staff were extremely encouraging and dedicated to hands on learning with words that I wish to do my MFA in Creative writing with this university.
