What I Learned From This Course

Reflect on what you have learned in this course and discuss how it might influence your work as a professional

The course has had the largest impact on me outside of the classroom with the intentional

Over the past four months, I have made great strides as a writer. The area where I have seen the most growth is in my use of the writing process. Prior to my enrollment in this course, I would sit down and write all my papers in one sitting. This class has taught me how to lay out a plan for my papers. I have learned how to effectively brainstorm/research, draft, and revise my writings before I complete them. Also I have learned to not just stop there, instead I am now going back and reflecting on my work after I complete it. This allows me to identify where I prospered and also where my downfalls may have been. With this information, I am able to apply this to future writings of mine; lessons that will stay with me forever.

One of my weaknesses in my writing is that I tend to have a “one track mind”. Once I have an idea about how to word something or organize an essay, I tend to only see it from that perspective, even if it’s not the most optimal way to convey my arguments. This class helped me think outside of the box and learn to organize things like I would not normally do, this included how I would analyze texts or synthesize ideas. The in-class activities helped me learn to be creative, the class readings gave me examples on how to organize that creativity and the instructor conferences helped me further organize my thoughts and organization.

I have learned so many things out of this class that would be very useful to me in the future. Also, I don’t think that if I truly want to write about all the things I have learned from this class it would all fill a 2 pages paper. However, the three main things that I have retained from this include how to write a response paper, how to read a book better, and how to better write essays.

Discuss how this course has affected you in your development as a student and explain how it has prepared you for academic success.

The first way this course has helped me is by introducing me to annotating article which I know will be helpful for me in Comp II in helping me formulate my research papers and in turn achieving my Comp II goals. The second way I believe this course has helped me and will be useful to me in other courses is by showing me how to organize my paper in a logical manner and be more mentally creative when describing a situation or event. The last way I believe this course has helped me is by teaching me how to be more descriptive, how to focus on details and how to transition smoothly when writing, which is something that I believe will be useful in any class when writing any paper not just in English. These particular skills were most useful in helping me write my Film Review, “ The American Dream.” “The seamless storyline wouldn't be anything if it wasn’t complemented by the sensational acting done mostly by Chris and his son Christopher. To be more specific, the scene where Chris was shown crying on the bathroom floor after his son Christopher went to sleep, due to his confound embarrassment of him not being able to provide proper shelter for his son.” In just these two simple sentence I show my abilities of how to connect one idea to the next and still have it flow smoothly while at the same time I am showing my abilities of how I was focused on the detail of the movie and yet still very descriptive while explaining it, which is why this is my favorite

Hi my name is Alberta Nemeth, I am a freshmen here at Lamar Institute of Technology. I believe I will learn from this course how to write a perfect essay using proper english, grammer, and punctuation. I also think that I will leant how to capture, persuade, and respond in all of my essay's that I may have to write, along with any projects I may have in the near future.

Most importantly, I learned to courageously enter the academic conversation in an appropriate way. I gathered enough information from my research to form an opinion, or a central idea, on my writing. One of the most important things I learned from the class was that everything that can be written is persuasive. I also learned how to state my own beliefs, agree, disagree, and plant a naysayer in my text. Now, I have a fundamental idea of how to enter the academic conversation in relation to

One concept from the course that is strongly present throughout the case study is that once Mrs. S. loses consciousness, she is considered an incompetent patient. This means that Mrs. S. cannot make decisions for herself. Since this is the case, her only family member/son is deemed the surrogate for her. Therefore, the son speaks on behalf of his mother and makes all decisions for her. Another topic presented in the case study that correlates with class discussions is that the treatment for Mrs. S. is an extraordinary treatment. Even though Mrs. S. is endangering her life without going through with the surgery, she is still allowed to morally object the treatment. Additionally, the case study correlates with pseudo-vitalism. The doctors

With the growing number of college courses that we will be taking this and next year, a course such as this has benefited me an improved my course-taking skills. These skills are extremely useful in any college class and will assist in my development and education now and in the future. These skills and lessons have improved my studying, my work habits, my mental attitude, among many other characteristics, and these skills have improved my schoolwork in general.

My first essay was a personal narrative about my experience working in retail and how the way I was treated as an employee changed my view and made me more compassionate. In my third and fourth essay, I explored a topic that I did not know much about and found myself learning some valuable information in the process. In addition to learning about grammar, punctuation and public speaking, I learned more about myself in this class.

To be detached from the hustle and noise of our lives, yet find peace within ourselves while we inhabit this world. Perhaps the most surprising yet fulfilling spiritual discipline I have learnt this year, whilst partaking in this course is that of finding the time to sit silently of all distractions in solitude and focus only on God.

During week one, my initial definition of learning was listening to an instruction, studying and then rehearsing that information in my mind, or categorizing it in a way so I could remember most of what was taught in the course. The class has opened a new dimension for me in the learning process; from understanding how I process information to deciphering which learning processes I use in intentional learning or metacognition. Understanding my learning patterns form dynamic learning relationship is a key element to my view of how and why I process the learning experience, even relating it to every day life.

I have discovered some interesting things I have noticed in myself before taking this course. For example, my learning style I have noticed is the visual learning style.
