Boring English Class
Bad to Good in a Matter of Time Coming into this class I truly thought to myself, “Man not another boring English class, that involves nothing but writing…” Boy did you prove me wrong! Progressing through the class I came about liking it very much; along with seeing many improvements in my writing and grammar. This class gave me more than just the ability to write it also gave me the ability to use different tactics when reading and how to understand certain types of texts. The thing that was truly amazing about this class was the way our class discuss were, as a class everyone was always so interactive and gave feed back in a blink of an eye, which was amazingly helpful with my writing. From analyzing text, to peer editing each others …show more content…

From my first paper to my most recent paper my topic sentence have drastically changed for the better I went from sounding like a high school freshmen to a undergraduate college student. “People across the world(not only America) have the same concern about going to college, and is almost everyones main concerns, which is the expense of going to college.” That being the first topic sentence from my first essay ever written in this class is very scatter brained along with no major argument towards it. In my most recent paper my topic sentence progressed greatly with much more syntax and with a much more clear argument. “Hessel believes that outrage needs to take place in today’s young generation because we are seeming to be content with all these social issues arising.” This thesis has a strong argument, good grammatical structure, and a firm syntax structure, making my argument

    The English 3003 class has helped me in various ways in improving and shaping my writing skills. Although some of the work were tedious and sometimes frustration at times, but overall it was a fun class to be in and was a great learning experience as well. I had to take this class not because I failed to secure an 8 in the WST test but because I had problems mainly due to my poor writing. Throughout the class this quarter I experienced many methods and different types of writings and essays. The writing homework took time, and several ideas and sometimes google searches to make it a good essay I can score marks on, but in return, I learned skills and techniques…

    Overall, my experience taking English 106-H was fulfilled and I truly enjoyed my time in class. What were once weaknesses, slowly, but surely became strengths. Thus, it was through my weaknesses that helped me develop my writing skills, making me a stronger writer. Through free writing, word traps, and ideas of my own, I was able to implement those strategies into my writing. Nevertheless, I have reached my goal, but still will continue to strive for even stronger writing through out all of my courses at Lycoming College.…

    “MLA! MLA!” These were the words my 8th grade English teacher Mr. Robs would yell at me. Being an 8th grader, I was not entirely used to a more advanced writing style. It was similar to what I had been used to writing with only a few more advancements such as 1” margins as well as a header in the corner. However, I would find out his style of MLA was not all that correct either, and when I moved to The Meadows, I had to re-learn MLA. Writing has not always been my favorite but when I get started, I get on a roll and cannot stop until I finish. English as a class itself is not that interesting in my own opinion but it ends up being the teachers that make it tolerable. However, when we do more in class elements such as projects and papers, that also makes it more fun because we are being proactive and not sitting around listening to a lecture. Of course, there are days when I do not want to do anything, and the best part is when I walk into class and we get to watch a movie or write a basic in class essay.…

    Throughout elementary and secondary education, challenge and regular English-Language Arts classes were offered to the student in my school districts, each with the goal to build on what the previous class had taught us. Whether it was sixth grade English where short essays and essay structure was first taught or eighth grade where the grammar and prose were drilled into our heads. Whether it was sophomore year where the challenge ELA class began writing five and six page essays or in AP Language and AP Literature where everything we had been learning was now applicable to our writing and we learned how to write a synthesis, rhetorical analysis and arguments. I truly believe that all of these classes prepared myself adequately for what was…

    When it was time to choose the video that “related to me the most” I become clueless. Looking around the English classroom, I was hoping to find a few other confused and distracted faces, but instead, when the teacher asked the class if we had some good ideas, everyone was obediently nodding. All I could think about was how well these videos were directed and how clever they were. Then I was left thinking, am I that uncreative and unoriginal? Surely it couldn’t be that hard to string 500 words together on my thoughts about a one minute video I watched – but it was.…

    I have attempted to do this before, but because I have never had a class that focused so much on writing, it has been difficult. I feel that this class will be a good one to practice those skills in, as I will have many writing opportunities as well as many people who will aid me. Next, I would like to improve my grammar and learn the more intricate details of grammar that I do not currently know. My last goal is to learn what wording and writing style to use when, such as who merits a more professional style and when my writing can be more…

    English 101 has been an amazing class and I feel like I have grown more than I expected. I was apprehensive about taking an English class because I have been away from school for almost seventeen years. I have not written an essay since 1996 and I knew many things have changed. I was especially concerned with citations. However, I found myself being able to work though citations with little effort.…

    When the semester began I thought to my knowledge that my writing was that of good quality. Though I had a good basic understanding of the format of an essay or letter I still had a lot to learn. My writing changed in many ways such as learning to eliminate unnecessary wording in my thesis, the use of synonyms, analyzing quotes and writing abstract to concrete thoughts or ideas. This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…

    From the assignments and researches, I achieved a great deal of understanding about critical thinking, writing a correct sentence and most of all realizing the different thoughts from different people in the class. People have their own opinions in every worked paper we have done which helps me to realize that people have different believes concerning different issues. I respect every once opinions and am happy that I took them as a good knowledge gained. I just wish I would have taken a class like this sooner! The research and actual writing process just seems so much easier once you break it down.…
