Self-Reflection for English course Over the years that I have been a student at Henry Ford community college, I have learned and embraced the best thoughts that have come to nourish my writing skills. Writing has always been one of my strengths and areas I have dreamt of perfecting. However, as I began the semester, a lot of questions rang my mind about the goals I anticipated to accomplish. I was a bit anxious that I was going to learn a new writing style, the MLA. Thus, I thought of the differences

As a student who has now been in college for a semester, I think that writing exemplifies how well you do in college. Others may argue that writing does not play a big role in determining if one does well in college or not. As I stand by my opinion of writing playing a big role in how well someone does in college, there are many things you still have to do over your years in college. Some things I did not know in August that I now know is that talking to friends, family, and peers can help greatly

Do not skip a space between abbreviations with only one letter and an ordinal: 1. Proper Punctuation Train your eye to notice where periods, commas, and semicolons are used in citations. For example, do not use semicolons between parallel citations (B18.1.2). 2. Proper Abbreviations (R6.1) Abbreviations are standardized for the title of a case and the citation information itself. Abbreviations are intended to save space so the citations do not overwhelm the text. The standardized abbreviations

When I began this course I had heard rumors of the strict and harsh grading, but I brushed them aside, believing that were false. I thought that writing an effective essay was simple: present a thesis and support it with evidence and reason. Despite my beliefs and thoughts, I never imaged that this course would be as challenging as it was. This course forged longs nights of anxiety and stress to meet deadlines. I had many ups and downs through the twelve week course, often struggling with a different

Writing is no were near my strongest subject but everyone has their weak and strong subjects when it comes to education. I strive to become a phenomenal writer one day, to become a great writer requires a lot of work. This work I would have to do demands for a great amount of consistency. My writing experience has been filled with a lot of learning and recognizing that I still need help. I am not at all the best writer. I have yet to grasp the full knowledge of writing an academic paper. Some things

I almost dropped out of college in the 4th week of the semester, but my life took a swift turn around; after I had stomped on the essay “The Truth About M&Ms”. The Truth About M&Ms” was written and published by Steve Dalager. Steve is a professor, and an English Composition instructor at Lake Superior College in Duluth, Minnesota. The Truth About M&M is basically a brand of candy-coated chocolate, which describes the varieties of students that usually sign up for English College Composition class

The word athletics comes from the Greek word “athlos,” and it means “contest” or “task.” The two articles, “The Effect of IAAF Kids Athletics on the Physical Fitness and Motivation of Elementary School Students in Track and Field” by Blatsis Petros, et. al., and “Sport Psychology: the Ultimate Spring Board of Excellence” by Jitendra Mohan, are both written in different sub disciplines of athletics, and therefore, the purposes of the articles differ. The articles are based on the similar topics, but

I found that creating an annotated bibliography was incredibly useful and important in helping me organize my research. The assignment forced me to keep track of my sources. I like to scan through journals quickly and take notes on what information I'd like to revisit based on titles and headlines. My method is great for finding research, but the downside is that I can sometimes lose track of the properly cited source for the information. I think this is incredibly valuable because of the real problems

II. At the start of the semester I struggle using the APA format and it showed in my essays. a. One of my major issues was starting my sources as the sentence, and my Literary and Film Analysis essay I stated, (“Technology… our new normal,” 2018). “Bradbury(1950) Dr. McClean,….and help the child.” b.
