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

    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.…

    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…

    I am glad that I took this composition course. Before I took this class, I would say that I was just an average writer. I took this class in hopes that I would learn more about writing and learn new skills that I can apply to my writing process. I have only been in this class for one quarter, but I would say that I am a much better writer than I was before I took this class. I have learned new skills that expand my writing above the level it was. I have also learned more about myself as a writer and what is working and what is not working with my writing process.…

    This course truly helped my comprehension of specific parts of writing that I had never caught on to before. I feel that I can now express my thoughts much more successfully.

I’ve learned to use different words, phrases, or statements to use other times that will best suit my style of writing. This semester has been one that was, unquestionably, a learning and educational experience for…

    Why I Hate Writing

    Annotation homework taught me how to think analytically and read critically to become a better reader. Learning various writing styles such as Toulmin Model of Argumentation, point-by-point or block methods, and annotated bibliography, opened the door for me explore different writing formats and learn various writing rules. Before, I was always caught in a five paragraph format when it came to writing essays but now I learned that there is no set amount of paragraphs to fully express my claims. Moreover, peer and faculty feedback helped shape my writing to become clear, with purpose, with better transitions and grammar. Researching assignments helped me to become proficient in the research process and explore online databases. Through class activities, I learned about the MLA format, critical reading, coherence/cohesion and proper citation. Every assignment was not easy and it was very time consuming; however, the process was worth it and it shaped me to become an advanced writer. This class was the most beneficial class among the other three classes that I took this semester. WRI 001 has taught me so many strategies that I need for future classes such as writing a research paper, the proper way to write…

    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.…

    I have learned more in the five weeks of this dual enrollment class than I have in my previous years of both my middle school years and my freshman/sophomore year. My previous years have mostly been just trying to fine tune my acquired skills from elementary and middle school. Although, it has worked I still think that those courses did not allow me to flourish into the experienced writer than I am capable of becoming. The individual and collaborative techniques that professor Belmont has taught us have greatly heightened my skills in…

    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.…

    Essay writing was a major part of the class. We wrote essay on race and ethnicity, gay matters, language technique essays. Each essay taught us about a different style or form of writing. Comparison and contrast essays taught us how to write an essay comparing two similar things. This type of essay was my favorite to write. In my essay I compared the careers of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. The most difficult essay for me to write was the argument essay in which we were to defend a point using strong argument skills. For my argument essay I supported the argument that rap music is music of resistance. I can honestly say my essay skills have improved tremendously over the course of this year thanks to the many skills learned in this class.…
