EWRT 200
3 March 2016
Dear English Department:

I was so afraid of wrtting before I take EWRT 200. I came from China, and English was not my first language. It had been a nightmare for me to write an essay. Everytime my high school english teacher setted up a essay assinment, it would take me a lot of time to write, and I really hated it. However, this class helped me a lot to write an essay. The teacher’s lecture was very clear and breaked the essay into separate parts and it looked much easier for me. I am ready to move on to EWRT 211 because I have learned a lot from EWRT 200, and it is the time for me to march forward.
First reason that I am ready for EWRT is that I learned how to organize an essay using paragraph

    Just Walk On By Dr. Martin Luther King

    Overall the essays that we have read this semester have been good. There are a few essays in particular that I think benefited me the most was “The Time to Act I Now” written by Al Gore, “Just Walk on By” written by Brent Staples, and the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” written by Martin Luther King. These essays have benefited me in a numerous amount of ways in which I am going to explain how their writing styles helped me become a better writer. Staples helped me a lot in which he taught me to explain my reasoning fully so that the audience know exactly what I am talking about. Another thing that Staples taught me was to explain the setting of the story in full detail so the readers can visualize what’s actually happening in the story this…

    Reflective Essay: Shitty First Drafts

    Before I came to De Anza, I was lacking in many things. For example, I switch in between persons in the same paragraph when I was talking about a character. I would add in my opinions like why I think Hamlet wanted to kill his family on an analysis paper, and my sentence structures were all over the place. I would also use the same words over and over again making my essay dull and boring than it already is. I started to feel degraded because I was receiving low scores on my essays.…

    College Composition Reflection

    Throughout the first semester of College Composition, I wrestled with three essays, all differing in format and content. The first was a narrative that reflected our educational experience. After this came an analysis of a visual text, followed by a research paper. The narrative was the easiest to write; however, I acquired important skills for writing the other two, which were in a less familiar format. With the three essays, I learned about my own writing skills and habits concerning development and critical thinking, time management, and organization.…

    Reflective Essay In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird

    Throughout my high school career I have worked on many essays. I have, over the past four years, improved in a variety of ways. I have not only improved in my English writings, but also in my social studies, science and art writings. Also, I have become more efficient in my grammatical and my structural skills as well. Throughout high school I have improved my writing through class warmups to standardized tests.…

    EOF Student Reflection

    He showed me that with every argument comes a counter argument; adding a counter argument reinforced my argument greatly. Another technique I applied to my essays with Professor Castro’s instruction was planning. In high school, planning an essay seemed like a waste of time because the assignments were always just five paragraph, five sentence essays. Since we had to write these essays in such a short amount of time for tests, I was able to produce the work the night before. On the other hand, Professor Castro has shown the divergence between high school and college; planning and editing are two essential steps in writing.…

    Afas 160 D1 Reflection

    The course AFAS 160 D1 is my first online class, and until now I still felt lucky to choose this class as one of my general education classes, because it gave me a great opportunity and an eye-opening experience about learning the African American Culture which I have never learned before and also gave me a chance to learn online. Describing this course to someone else, I would say this class is interesting and if you want to learn this class well, you need to prepare the Voice Thread and read the book carefully. To be honest, making videos on Voice Thread gave me a unique experience. I still remembered the first time I made a video on Voice Thread how nervous I was, I was afraid to have different ideas with other students and worried if they disagreed with me what should I do?…

    Reflection Essay: My First College Writing Class

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par. It wasn’t until I received my score on the essay evaluation for my First-Week Essay- a measly five out of twenty- that I realized that this was not the case. At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…

    My UWRT Experience

    Whilst taking these writing classes I am learning how to become a more experienced writer enabling me to get my perspective across in a very coherent and understandable manner. Learning these writing techniques will help me greatly in future classes, my future career and even my own private writings. In other classes I am required to write papers and responses to questions, by taking these writing courses I find it much easier to answer these questions in a manner that is easily legible, organized, and possibly enjoyable to read. If I had not taken UWRT I am sure that I would be at a loss of words on how to write successfully at a college level. This UWRT course has taught me numerous conventions of writing as well as how to incorporate rhetoric…

    Eng 497a Reflection

    When I first started attending Southern Illinois University, I did not critically read or write very well as my arguments were just scratching the surface of the literary text. I would read just enough to anticipate quiz questions and answers, but did not care too deeply about what the text was attending to accomplish. However, through attending this university, there is a definite growth into close readings and critical writing. For instance, I am reading beyond the thought of a quiz or plot, and in my ENG 497a paper have considered where a text belongs and the importance of authority and authorship. I transferred to this college, so my first English course here was ENG 200.…

    English 102 Reflective Essay

    Everyone hates English class is what I thought before taking English 102. However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful. English 102 this year has had its ups and downs, and I must admit the ups outweigh the downs. Meaning, this year, I have learned that I am not a student who wants to read or write, but through reading and writing my mind and skill sets concerning English have grown. During English 102 this year, reading and writing in class helped me expand my writing skills, improved my will to comprehend, and most importantly helped expand my knowledge.…

Next semester I am enrolled in English 220, and after having taken this course I feel substantially better about continuing on with English courses at a college level.

Throughout this class I have learned many things, but perhaps the most important is the steps to writing an essay, and the planning options.…

    Reflective Essay: What I Learned From My Writing Class

    Throughout this semester of English 101, writing has become more of a skill than a struggle. Writing was a challenge that I dreaded when I chose to be in the course, nonetheless with time, I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve. This course made me very doubtful on whether I could be capable of even writing a paper that would provide me with a decent grade, but at the same time made me push myself in my writing technique. In the end, I can reflect that I learned from my mistakes and wrote papers that took time and dedication to accomplish. I learned from this class to be confident in my writing and make all the mistakes to receive the grade I want in the end.…

    Reflective Essay: My Experience As A Writer

    At the beginning of this English course, I was so nervous and scared that I would fail. I do not think I have ever been a good writer. It has always terrified me because I have difficulty putting my thoughts down on paper. This course has proven to be highly inspiring to me as well as frightening. It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts.…

    Essay About English Class

    This English class has been very helpful in my efforts to improve my writing abilities, but has also been very challenging due to there being a different median for every essay. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. I can’t say that writing essays has been one of my strong points but I believe that this course has helped me improve tremendously and it has also made me feel a lot more comfortable with my writing. While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes.…
