English 101

I have attended Argosy University Online since March 21, 2013 to Present. I was a Fulltime student. I'm currently taking my last course with them which is ENG 102. I enjoy taking my classes online. I feel as it is just like sitting in the classroom. When I logon to my class portal everything is there. Currently at Argosy the terms are 5 weeks long. So when I log on I have 5 modules that are one week a piece and have 3 assignments on each module. I participate in a discussion that the instructor puts out and I have to respond to the discussion post and also having to reply to two classmates on their discussion post every week. When assignments are due requiring the use of a text book I navigate under the module that the assignment is due and click on the require text that pertains to the assignment and the text is there from the book. When a writing assignment is due, I normally type the paper in Microsoft word and attach the document into the drop box on Argosy University's student portal and click the drop down box and click which assignment I’m submitting and submit it for grading. If I’m not too much in a hurry I will wait about ten minutes to see what my Turnitin score is. If I have any questions for the professor at any time I go to the left hand side where the modules are and click “Questions for the Professor” and ask my question. If it’s something personal in nature I will send the professor an email.

I want to attain a degree in psychology. I'm currently in the ARMY and I want to become a psychologist. I'm planning on transferring my military credits along with the credits I received through Argosy University to fulfill my desire to get the degree I want. My course selections that I choose at AMU will be the ones needed to fulfill the institution's requirements to grant the degree. My main goal is to provide for my family. Getting this degree will help me apply to various other schools granting the PSYD degree and

    Year 8 English Class

    Throughout the semester, the Year Eight class have studied figurative language, Shakespeare, persuasive and narrative writing, as well as reviewing the role punctuation plays in ensuring clarity in writing. Chloe is a very friendly and capable student who has consistently produced work of a solid Year Eight standard. She can sometime allow herself to be distracted in class, this means that she often runs out of time to effectively edit her work. As a result of this she sometimes misses punctuation and grammatical errors that could have easily been corrected. In order to improve, Chloe will need to re-evaluate her use of class time to ensure that she leaves herself enough time to carefully edit all tasks before she submits them. I wish her all the best for next year.…

    I believe the author of the first essay, Dinner Party Table Settings; chose the informative process because the author wanted to give step-by-step instructions on how one hosts a dinner party. This is useful because it teaches the reader in precise steps. The author could have used a space order organization method, which would have provided a more learning experience. When it came to the third essay Cochlear Implants; the author organizes the essay by topic. The author first starts off by explaining what…

    Throughout my education experience all my English classes have typically been the same. We would learn maybe a few new things, but overall every English class was about the same. I could not say that my English 211C class falls in that category because we talked a lot about current issues. I was not really expecting us to talk about current issues as much as we did. At first it through me off because it was not what I was used to in an English class, but I grew to like talking about current issues. I learned how important it is to keep up with current issues because if I live in this world a lot of things that go on in the world can affect me. It was also different because we got a topic and that is the topic we conducted all our assignments…

    When Alfie Kohn wrote his paper What Does It Mean to Be Well-Educated? he tried to focus on everyone's point of view. He wrote about how there are many different types of people who are able to hold a job with maybe just one degree against the other who may be unemployed but have multiple degrees. Why would having more initials at the end of your name guarantee your success in life? Why would his ex wife had endured 29 years of hard schooling just to end up using only one of her many degrees? There are many reasons one person may obtain multiple degrees such as a decline in the amount of people available in a position or even the necessity of that job field at all. I am in the middle of obtaining my very first degree from Liberty University and I could never imagine attending school for a total of 29 years. Everyday in my field I am learning new ways to manage my work more efficiently and control the outcome of my work. In any workplace an education is something that is held high on a pedestal simply because it means you have been to school longer but in some cases that does not mean you have a great education.…

    Jimmy Carter once said, “We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.” What he meant by that was America is a very diverse country. Without the difference of its people, America is not America. In the novel, The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez, the story centers around the Rivera family adjusting in the United States. Also, it focuses the life story of the people around them while in the short story, “The English Lesson” by Nicholasa Mohr, it focuses on how immigrants see the United States. Both readings were able to show that many immigrants struggle before and after the come to the United States of America.…

    I have met the English 101 competencies because I learnt to figure my strengths and weakness and to upgrade from them. As I cogitate at the end of the 2015 fall quarter on the work I have covered in my English 90 class, I’m capable of identify distinctly how much I have improved in English. I completed three essays and numerous English assignments this quarter, and the feedback I received from Helen and my peers helped a lot. The three essays included in my portfolio: “Aviation Passion”,” Companion, or abandonment?”, and “handcuffed by cellphones”.…

    English class has always come easily to me, but sometimes I do take a lot more time doing some topics than others. I believe that taking your time to figure something out is better than saying that you understand it and then do poorly on the test. Every student has their own way to study or their own way to figure out how to pass the next test. In English, I feel it is extremely important to know what you’re doing and what you’re doing it. Personally, I use many different techniques during school and I feel that they have gotten me to a good place now.…

    As a freshman in college, many of the subjects I’ve taken up in the first semester are not new to me. I took Algebra, Biology, and even Filipino, but my English class is of an entirely different context. College English for me is unfamiliar. For example, I was never required to write essays on a weekly basis and be graded for it. I always took the kind of English class that we always just used to talk about novels. Nevertheless, throughout the first semester, I’ve learned a lot from my English class specifically, the noteworthiness of a scratch paper in essay writing, organizing my thoughts, and writing from the heart, rather than writing to pass.…

    I purchased a copy of The Daily Telegraph on 16th July 2008 and read your article “ Think before you ink”. I read the article with an open mind so as not to judge. Clearly you did not have the same sentiment. Within the subtitle you decided to slate tattoos, and a variety of celebrities with them. I was amazed that you said “doesn’t make it classy,attractive or wise” since it was a very strong and unfounded opinion. I was equally appalled by the rude and negative language towards these people, the things that were said about them were extremely offensive. I don’t think it’s appropriate for the article to contain such a negative attitude especially to these celebrities who have achieved great things. An opinion is one thing, but judgment is another.…

    As I began this course it was the one I was dreading the most. For as long as I remember I have been told my writing is terrible. As I began this course I realized it was not that I was bad at writing, it was the fact that I did not know correct mechanics or grammar and did not take it serious enough. I have learned so many new techniques and have improved as a writer. Although I will not say I love writing, I do not hate it.…
