Two Main Categories of Collaboration The first thing I noticed about the subject of collaboration is that it is huge—there are as many styles, types, methods, rationales, theories, benefits and drawbacks as there are theorists and scholars. Additionally, almost no one appears to agree on even such simple matters as terminology (Is it collaborative writing or collaborative learning? Is it peer response, review, or editing?), let alone on actual application and practice. As Kenneth Bruffee states

Thank you for your letter! While I usually do well in English classes, they are in no way my strong suit. I love science classes, so analysis writing has been a weakness of mine. Before you try to read the syllabus more, which may look confusing, take a few minutes to read my letter. Given the knowledge I’ve learned from this class, I will answer all of your questions and help to set your mind at ease.

Coming into English 102 I assumed it would be extremely easy and it would be similar to high school English. This was correct, it consistent mainly of writing papers and a few assignments where we had to read something then write about it. As a result of this I believe I did not take the course as serious as I needed to. However along the way I learned multiple useful concepts that will be beneficial to my continuance of college. College and high school are not as different as people make them seem

I have learned my weaknesses through peer reviews, and the feedbacks that I received from you. This cover letter will address four of the course learning outcomes for English 110 such as, how to write effectively using a number of rhetorical strategies and patterns, demonstrate the ability to synthesize materials drawn from multiple sources using critical reflection and independent judgment

This semester has been full of new experiences, more connections, and better opportunities. I admit this class had me excited, made me think more, and helped me change my writing.

When reflecting on what made me the writer I am today, my first thought was, “Well clearly, I’m a writer because I’m a reader.” As a child, I devoured all kinds of books and spent hours on exploits in different worlds, with Harry and the gang at Hogwarts, or with the Pevensie kids in Narnia. And I thought that inevitably and gradually, reading is what led me to create my own universes and stories through writing. In fact, one of my first memories associated with writing was winning third place at

Writing an essay may seem like a huge obstacle to overcome, but with a plan of attack and a little organization, it can be easily completed.
