The Writing Center     Writing is often a difficult task for students, especially when having to transition from five paragraph essays in high school, to twelve page college essays. We often struggle with conveying our message, but have no fear, the Writing Center is here! The MSU Writing Center is a great resource for brainstorming, editing, and obviously, WRITING. A similar resource looked at in this review is the Math Learning Center, because it also helps students with all varieties of the main

Entering the class, english comp. one, I had many fears as to what the class would be like. I had no idea what to expect as a senior in highschool. During the past english classes I had, we wrote papers, just not a different one every day. Going into english comp. one, I figured it would be the same method in english just like the past classes I had. On the very first day in the class, I quickly found out that I would have to buckle down a little more than I have been in the past. I knew then, from

An area of confusion in the college world is what defines college-level writing. There are many possible answers to this question. Students may be confused about this issue because they want to know what is expected of them in their composition classes and the writing that they have to do in their other classes. All of us want to succeed when we get to college and writing makes up a big part of the college learning experience since we have to write in every class we have. Excelling in writing, and

1. I've never considered myself much of a writer. I'm expecting that we will be writing often in this course so, one of the goals I'm hoping achieve from English106 is to become more accustomed to writing. Once this is accomplished, it will easily allow me to make further improvements on my writing abilities. My second goal is to become an active reader. Active reading will allow me to pick up an in dept perspective and pose unique questions on the novel. My third goal is to improve on my analysis

I do not recall exactly when I completed English 110 & 111, but I am sure I already did probably back in community college. To be honest I am not quite sure what are my strengths when it comes to writing. Since I have to pick a strength I would probably say that I tend to be very detailed in most cases when I write. I tend to go into detail explaining a topic or subject. But my strength could also be seen as my weakness because most of the time I end up repeating myself over and over. For example

English is an international language and it is almost compulsory in many countries. In my eight week of English 151B class, I have learned that how important it is for a college student to write effectively while arranging proper thoughts in a paragraph. It is very important to focus yourself while writing about a topic. I have learned about the importance of writing in a good organized way with proper punctuation. A good sentence is created without the use of run on. When I attended this class for

When I usually write essays I tend to re-read the prompt after I read it I try to make any connections to the topics that I know about. After all that I break it down and I start to type my first draft out. Now that the class is almost over I’m very confident in my writing and I know what I am capable of writing and what I’m not. My overall experience in this class and also in writing has completely changed at 1st I really didn’t like to write that much essay I just wrote them to get a passing grade

English 111 was the first class English class that I have taken since my senior year of high school in 2004. When I first signed up for the class I figured it was going to be a bit difficult with reading assignments, I was not expecting to be writing 3 to 5 papers every other week which I found to be hard at first. Within the first couple of weeks of the class I quickly learned that I had to be able to manage my time carefully between work, home, and school or that I was not going to do well at

I Love English! Implementing general rules/conventions, analytical thought processing, and awareness of specific features of various writing techniques are three key components I pride myself on in Business Writing. Within this brief letter I wish to portray each and every one of those attributes, thus exhibiting to you why I’m a valid candidate to be accepted into English 245 – Business Writing which is essential prior to my graduation of fall 2015. Writing for myself has consistently been an

The article of Maher et al. (2008) presents the idea of the application of writing groups among doctoral students in order to prepare for their dissertations and training to become scholars. Maher et al. (2008) brings the discursive background of the needs and benefits of writing groups among doctoral students to the table. They point out that doctoral students are in a significant need of writing support while there have been inadequate resources in this area. Their literature shows that writing
