When it comes to evaluating myself and if I am prepared for my first college writing course I believe that I am prepared to take my first college writing course. Before joining my ESC 021 class with Professor Kraft I felt that I was prepared and that I would be able to complete assignments without difficulty, but I was so used to the one on one sessions where I would go over the little mistakes or find ways to produce an exceptional essay that I forgot that I was own my own now. Through the short time in ESC 021 I learned my weaknesses and strengths as a writer. I now have the ability to receive feedback and effectively use my feedback to better my assignments.

When I graduated high school, I already knew that I wanted to attend college other than going to the work force. I heard stories about college being fun and it is one of the greatest accomplishment a person can achieve. So, I began college right after high school. As I entered college, I learned that I will have to focus more on writing papers than having fun. In high school my teachers did not prepare me for college essays. I feel like I learned a lot more failing on my college writing assignment than passing on the essays in high school. Well now I have approached the end of the semester of college, and I am exhausted from the constant writing assignments. Although the assignments were difficult like I said it was also helpful. Each assignment helped me in different ways. The assignments helped me improved with my grammar, time management, and how to process before I begin writing. In English 1010 I had different types of writing assignments. I had to write a literacy narrative paper, analysis paper, research paper, and lastly an autoethnography paper which I am doing now. An autoethnography is when the author uses self reflects to write about their experiences about writing a paper. English is not the only subject that I had writing assignments in. I also had to write assignment in my business class. My English teacher had informed me that I will have to do an autoethnography. So, I used my paper in my business class to reflect on how I write by

This semester was my very first semester as a college student. Being the first, it was probably the semester I would learn the most in. I learned the expectations for writing that I will have to live up to for the next four years of my college career. Though my high school teachers were usually demanding because I was in the Honors English section throughout high school, writing in college has still ?raised the bar? for me. Also, in high school, we would have weeks to pick a topic, create a thesis, outline the paper, write the paper, and then revise the paper. In college, the time restraints are not quite as lenient. I?ve had to learn to manage my time and be more productive with what free moments I

A community college is a great stepping stone for students who are on a budget and plan to obtain a degree higher than an Associates. As my career choice, Nurse Practitioner, requires a Master’s degree I am looking at many more years of classes and a lot more financial burden than that of an a registered nurse at the Associate degree level. In this paper I will explain why I have decided to take this course now, what my expectations are of this course, what I hope to gain from the experience, what I would like to read and write about based on my career path, and what some possible issues associated with my chosen career path are.

In “Expectations for College Writing,” the author expresses the importance of communicating clearly in writing for college and the future. At the beginning, the author discusses the impact of social writing has on an individual. Social networking allows individuals to analyze their response by conforming to the audience; thus, choosing the appropriate language. Then, the author expresses the importance of moving back and forth between informal social writing and formal academic writing. In formal academic writing, instructors assume students know the expectations of their writing. Instructors also have expectations of students to establish authority of their own work. Having confidence in your ideas and thoughts will establish authority by

Chapter 7 in Writing and Revising talks about strategies for developing. Developing an essay is a great way to back up the points you make in the essay with evidence that can pull the reader into what they are reading. One way is to give examples. When you give examples, you show the reader that your points make sense. You can start by giving examples of things that happen in your past, or you can use examples of things you get off of research. Providing details is another way to develop an essay. Giving details can make any image seem real for the reader. The details that you provide should be true to what the readers might see, hear, or experience in that situation. The details in the essay must also serve a purpose and they have to support the idea you are trying to get across to the reader.

To be successful in high school, there are certain rules one must have to follow and topics you have to apply those rules too. Which in most cases they are ideally limited. Teachers in high school only touch the basics of what will be taught in college. Such as grammar, research, limited sentences, and critical judgment on others work. All those categories are only touched to an extent, that gives us an idea of what college writing will be all about. I believe that in college the way one's writing is developed into is also encouraged by the way the professor grades the paper. So in order to succeed, you must know what the professor is looking for in your writing, but college writing I envision it being more complex than what writing was in

Over the course of this past semester, my ability to write has improved tremendously. Prior to undertaking this course, my expertise in writing was not as fine-tuned as it should have been. I had never previously been enrolled in a class specifically tailored to writing-- which was quite clear. Upon reading my past works, it becomes apparent that my writing style consisted of fluff, small words, and inconsistently structured sentences. These problems have, for the most part, been remedied with the coursework I have tackled in College Writing. Rather than long, drawn out papers that take an eternity to reach the primary point, my recent work is much nicer in terms of composition and grammar. I credit these improvements to the three primary
