English 1020 Experience
My English 1020 Experience English 1020 was a challenge to me because I only like writing about topics of my choosing. I love to write about different topics, but literature expands more than our personal opinion. I say it was challenging because I was required to write about subjects that I really wasn’t interested in writing about. Writing papers can be challenging, exciting, and interesting at the time. English has always been my strong point, but English 1020 didn’t go as well as I had planned. I could have done better with more preparation. I approached English with the mindset that it would be easy. I found English 1020 challenging because I was never required to put so many sources in my papers. Founding sources can be hard …show more content…
I would love to write about sports, politics, and love. These three subjects interest me. I played football in high school, and I want to be an attorney that’s why I’m interested. Everybody can relate to being in love at some point of time in their life. I love writing about those things because they relate to my life. English 1020 were interesting to me because my 1010 English class was strict, but I passed with a B average. English 1020 were difficult, but I thought I would adjust but it just got harder as time increased. The next English class that I attend I’m going to work harder and strive for the best. School is supposed to make me a better person and I will make the most of my opportunity. I love attending college because I know it will better my future. I know my future depends on my educational progress. In conclusion I thank my English 1020 instructor for holding me accountable for my papers. I know in the future it would pay off in the benefit of helping me. College educates me better in my future, so while it might be hard for the moment focus on the big picture which a career. I plan to become an attorney, but I cannot achieve any great amount of success without any educational experience. Overall English 1020 didn’t go as planned, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to

    It has been over four years since I was enrolled in college, and even longer since I’ve attended any type of English or writing class. So when I decided to get my education back in order, I went to the testing center where I took the (CPT) or the College Placement Test to find out where my education levels stood. I found it very difficult when I got my test results, and saw that my English portion of the test had scored low. This meant that I would have to start with the 0990 class. I had heard the horror stories about the English 0990 class, and how it was for the uneducated and some say “dumb” people. But now that I have taken the 0990 class, it’s nowhere near what I thought it would be. I’m grateful for taking this class and learning the simple steps to prefect my writing skills.…

    English 101 Reflection

    English 101 however, helped me improved the areas in which I was weak in from high school. Before, it was difficult to find the bigger meaning of an article, poem, or any form of writing in general. However, with the help from taking this course I was able to figure out how to add meaning to the essay. I also learned how to add evidence and analysis them better in my body paragraphs as well. It was difficult in the past, but now I gained skills such as outlining, writing rough drafts and the organization needed for a successful essay. I hope in English 102 that I will use my English 101 skills and be even more skilled in my essay writing. I also hope to learn more about adding evidence within the paragraphs and honing in the essay to make it all flow together. Also in English 102 I hope that I will learn to be more confident with my essays. I have talked in a couple of assignments where my confidence makes me question whether or not to add certain analysis into essays which sometimes may have made my grade not as good as it could have been. In English 102, I hope I will not question myself as much and show more confidence. I also wish to eliminate repetition in English 102. I have received many comments that I repeat my analysis a lot and that also cuts of some points of my grade. I need to continue the analysis more rather than just repeat it in a different way. With these two core English classes that I have/will take, I know that my foundation in writing will be…

    Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I trudge up two flights of stairs with the wind whipping at my face as my fingers feverishly click out the final text message I need to send before class starts. I walk into the warm, musty computer lab and sit at my usual spot with the view of the library through the tree limbs. I am always sure to come to English class because I know of my terrible history in this subject area. I have always struggled with English and before this semester had assumed that the college level class would be the death of me. As I read over the syllabus for this class it states that we will learn to understand writing assignments as a series of tasks and develop flexible strategies for generating, revising, editing, and proof-reading the assigned papers. I shuddered at the sheer thought of having to write five papers. Narrative, Evaluation, Profile, Position. These words might as well have been written in another language because I had no idea how to differentiate between them. Despite my fears, I believe this semester’s English 101 course has truly helped me develop my writing skills and advance to a more capable writer.…

    ENG102 Prof 11/24/11 Reflective Essay 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.…

    By using this I have discovered what my goals and dreams are. I wanted to pass this class and go on to college but that's not going to happen if I fail english. I realized that all that busy work she was giving us wasn't actually busy work. She showing us how hard it can be in college and most of the material now that I come to think of it helped me with everything I did in that class whether it was vocab or learning to write a better thesis statement. My goal for that class was to pass with an 80 or high by the end of each marking period and to not slack on all my work and to do it well and on time. Now I actually do my work ahead of time so that I don't forget and I have time to go back and look over it and sometimes I have a little free time to myself. My current grade in my CCC English 102 is an 89 and so far i've been doing things days before they are actually do so I make sure it's…

    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.…

    Atze Atsma, The Writer At the beginning of the year it felt like I would have never been able to write any paper that was more than two pages long, it just seemed impossible, but for the research paper I actually had to stop myself from going off and writing a twelve page paper. I will admit and say that English is not my strong suit, in fact it is probably one of my more difficult classes. But just because it is difficult does not mean I don’t like it. I like looking for topics that interest me and still fit in with the guidelines, I like getting involved in the paper and researching the topic until it feels like my head is about to explode. I never saw any of that coming, I thought that I was going to have to go through English and just pray…
