Welcome to the Mrs. Yuasa’s expos writing class. This class would be helpful to you to learn how to write, because writing is an important thing that we have to know for the future. Writing the essay and constructing the sentences are one of the main subjects to be scored on the SAT and other tests we would take later on. Also, compared to other school subjects like math, science and social studies, language class teaches the most useful knowledge to us.
To be honest with you, this class is not that hard to pass or even get A in both quarters, if you do whatever task you need to do and ask for help when needed. I thought I would have a hard time in English classes, because I am from a foreign country, Japan, and even though I’ve been here for some years, English is my second language and I usually take a long time to read passages, speak slowly, and worse writer than others. However, I aced both quarters without much struggle I thought I would have. Yes, sometimes I had to stay up a little late and finish my essays, but those are my fault that I didn’t start writing beforehand.

    The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…

    Writing has always been one of the most difficult skills that I have been learning through my college career, but it has also been the most important skill because unlike other skills writing affects my works across all courses or subjects. Writing has also helped me to get in to UMD, receive scholarships, and be accepted in research programs. Therefore, all the effort that I have made to improve my writing skill is worth it.

In this class, my writing has advanced because I am reading more, practicing more, and writing more.…

    Final portfolio I didn’t score high enough in my SAT exam so I was put in this class automatically; quickly after this course began I could already see an improvement in my writing. Being brought up in Ireland I knew that the transition between English there and English in America would have been a lot different. The way our education system works is a lot different from here meaning that I haven’t actually studied any form of English in the past three years, I knew this semester would be a completely new learning experience for me. The last time I studied English was at a grammar school in the town which I was brought up in.…

    Taking your AP Composition English class has been a frightening yet successful challenge. Personally I have always struggled with the English language since it is not my native language. Freshman year I was denied into the honors English program as was the case sophomore year. In my college prep classes I noticed I was not making any noticeable gains, so that was when I realized I had to challenge myself by taking your course. The rumors stated by current seniors made the class seem impossible.…

    Written language is a trait known to be only possessed by mankind. Although other species may have audible forms of communication, man is able to record and document his thoughts, feelings, or events that have unfolded in a way that can be viewed multiple times without him having to use his voice over and over. Literacy is a skill that adults in the United States are expected to have; but the level of your literacy says a lot about you and can have a tremendous impact on what career you end up in. For this reason, this college English class is a requirement for all those seeking a degree. Not only did I learn how to think of subjects and topics more objectively, but I learned a multitude of different modes and strategies I can employ in my writing.…

    Many believe that they can’t write, that writing is stupid, and it won’t be used in the “real world”. They can’t be any further from the truth. Writing is a 21st century skill that is essential to being successful in whatever post-secondary atmosphere students find themselves in. This study helped provide many students with confidence about their ability to write. The impact we have on students’ confidence will have a ripple effect on to another area where they feel less confident.…

    Over the course of Dual Enrollment English I have gained expertise with citations, research, and have overall improved my skills with argumentative and persuasive essays. The narrative essay served as a pleasant starter to the course, as it helped train proper writing structure. The persuasive essay had a topic I greatly enjoyed, which encouraged me to research the Germanna online databases, as a result it has undeniably the best citation page. The argumentative essay had a complex topic that required research of online databases just to narrow down what exactly should be the focus. The literary analysis paper had an easily built citation page, and had the most usages of in-text citations out of all of my essays.…

    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.…
