Writing course

in UC Davis for over a year accompanying with ESL writing courses taken every quarter, I found that ESL exams provided by CIC seem to have some imperfections: the writing section of the exams are not extensive enough to let students practice writing different styles of essays. In this letter I would like to analyze in details about how this form of exam would affect students, and some possible solutions I have come up with. As I remember, writing section occupies a significant amount of the total

the readings have dealt with how the writing process works, different areas to focus on while revising, or how to improve your skills as a tutor. Each of these focuses are extremely crucial when in comes to not only improving your knowledge of writing, but also to help guide others into this same level of understanding. It is crucial for everyone, regardless of whether they write for pleasure or for purpose, that they understand the value of their own writing process. However, as the readings have

you have written keynotes of what you read. Reading a book is a conversation as he puts it and writing in the book is how you continue the discussion. He uses the example that you can buy a steak but have not fully used it till you have consumed the meat. Otherwise, you were wasting the meat. He also illustrated his point by stating it is like a conversation between a teacher and student. Of course, the 'author' of the book is the one who is teaching us but as the reader/student, we must question

ENG101.0903 Through The Eyes of a White Boy When I first started taking this course I had not known much about college level writing, since it was the first advanced English course I had taken. My experience in this course had led me to believe that writing is revision. I learned that I could not perfect my writing until I revised it. I am attempting to improve my writing because I know that I still have much to learn before I can write on a collegiate skill level. This class has taught me to write

required a freshman writing class, I was irritated and dreaded the experience so much that I delayed taking the course to second semester. Very confident in my writing ability as my high school featured a grueling English department and having received high grades on my history and sociology essays in first semester classes, I presumed that I wouldn’t learn anything in FWS. Though I struggled with the drafting process, as my preferred method of essay writing involved writing the entire piece to perfection

difficulty teaching in depth college level writing and composition because they are busy bridging the gap formed in their students high school foundations and ultimately realizing that their students are not fully prepared to thoroughly understand and complete college level work, which in turn was expected to be taught in college readiness classes while the students were in high school.

I have been a student at California State University Channel Islands (CI) for 5 semesters, and over the course of my stay I have grown and learned more that I thought possible. I came to this school from Moorpark Community College already knowing that I wanted to be an English teacher; I had taken numerous English courses and though I knew exactly what I was headed for-was I ever wrong.

However, I feel as if I have established a writing process that works for me. It seems as if our high school does not give us the full preparation we need for college-- specifically in the writing aspect. I am thankful my school offered me the opportunity to better my education through college courses. In past years, I have not taken the

Reflecting on the Course Experience Honestly, I was less than excited to take this course. Due to Writing 121 being a requirement for all Oregon Associates transfer degrees enrolling didn’t signify that writing is my favorite subject. It’s not as if I expected the course to be a breeze, but it sure didn’t seem to be anything special. On top of that, being alone due to my recent move to Eugene made me sure that I wouldn’t observe any familiar faces in the classroom or anywhere on campus. My obligation

first-year writing program are something that is unfamiliar to me. Although I have completed my intensive college composition 1 class last semester we never went over this information in the course. After reviewing many of the core values I can still see how they can relate to my past experiences with other classes I may have taken. This semester I hope to use this as a prompt to guide me whenever I am writing to ensure that my essays’ are well written. Core value 1, Understanding that writing is a
