What I Learned In A Writing Class

I have been a student at San Jose States University for second years, English 1A was my first regular English class, and over the course of my stay I have grown and learned a lot. As Hospitality major, I do not know whether need my writing skills for future job, but I know the great experience in English 1A class would help me to improve all my writing weakness.

Over this quarter of English, I have learned many things out of the three to four essays that we have written. I have learned how to write college papers in the appropriate page requirements. Our teacher noticed after the first two essays we wrote that we suffered from sentence fragments, sentence run ons, and comma splices. I have learned how to fix those errors in my papers that I write. A thing I have learned about myself as a writer is that I write very well when a paper is about my personal life because it is easier to write about yourself than about a topic that you are just researching for the first time. If the paper is about my life experiences, I would get a good grade on it.

I hate reading and writing I never show interesting and I thought it was boring and just slept the whole period. But taking English 096 in my first semester at Harold Washington has impacted my writing skills in a positive way. This class helped me to learn more the skills I needed to become a better writer I college and for my future. Professor Thomas helped me with my writing and showed me that I do not have to be a perfect writer to get my point across. Like every writer we have are weaknesses and are strongest strategies. One of my weak is brainstorming ideas for my topic or how to compare two stories. But the class thought me how to comprehend the stories and try to make things they have in common. English 096 have also helped me to communicate more with my peers. My peers will help me revise my writing and make common so I can fix them and just make my final draft. I changed how I write because when the semester I was as good as a writer because I thought it was boring. But time passed I started to feel interesting and with the help of the professor I started to write better. The professor was determined to make us better writer. He would do every morning warm up and it seems small but it had an impact of how I write. Because I learned little things I never heard about.

In Freshman Composition I learned what metacognition means, and how it applies to academic writing. Next I learned about textual evidence and backing up your opinions with research. *I expect this class to help develop my writing skills, as well as find my voice in writing, all together I expect this class to be challenging but rewarding. Therefore I have set a few goals for myself, my first goal is to step out of my comfort zone and research topics I have never heard of before. My second goal is to not second-guess myself on my writing topics and/or choices. Furthermore I expect great things to come from this

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

The most important lesson learned from this class was to never give up. I took that class

When I found out that I would be taking this course, I was expecting it to be a light introduction to the RMCAD life. After the first week, I realized that I would have to spend much more time on this course than I previously thought. I got to experience what it means to be a RMCAD student and what it takes to be successful one.

The most valuable thing that I have learned from this class is about survival for the next 5 or 10 years. Because I want to earn great value of staying in the job longer that being terminated or laid off. I have been praying to God dues to my ages that I have come a long way to find better resources and material to help me achieve better mentoring attitudes, behavior and

On a list of the things that make me cringe, there is my old “MySpace” page, listening to myself on recordings, and re-reading my old essays. Especially the essays as most of the stories I wrote were either exaggerated or faked to make myself seem more interesting. There is nary a comma seen in my sentences, and I abused words such as like, that, very, and so. It is blatantly obvious the only purpose in the papers was a “Hey! Look at me! I’m important!”, by the resume-like structure of the paper with my glowing (but fake) accomplishments. I promise I’m honest in my papers now, but I still find myself going off message in my essays like a distracted driver going off the road.

The conduct and behavior of the business lunch recently attended is not the code of conduct this company takes pride in. Having a professional appearance and etiquette is a crucial part of this company and any other company you may work for in the future. You will find that your careers will depend on understanding how things work. Etiquette is essential on how you will progress in your future.

Another thing that I learned from this class that changed my view is that not everyone who is having a crisis or trouble is seeking for help. Something that I liked that we talked about in class was that just because to you to vent does not mean

Chances are you’ve been taught some form of dining etiquette beginning at a young age. You probably remember your parents telling you, “Don’t eat with your mouth full,” “Keep your elbows off of the table,” or “Don’t play with grandpa’s teeth at the dinner table!” What you probably didn’t realize is your parents were conditioning you on how to act at the dinner table in social situations, and possibly most important, in the business world. If you’re planning on a career in business, the probability of being invited to an informal lunch interview or a formal dinner is likely. In the following paragraphs, I will describe the differences between a formal and informal place setting, and explain some of the do’s and do not’s of proper dining etiquette in a business setting.
