Before I enrolled into your English class, I took English 307 in the fall semester of 2014. Also, I had taken another English 100 course with a different instructor. For many reasons, I immediately dropped that class in the first week of the semester. I don’t remember the instructor’s name, but right away, I knew his class wasn’t for me. His technique of teaching didn’t fit with my learning style, and his assignments were getting too repetitive. I wasn’t learning anything that would be helpful for my future classes. After, that semester ended, I decided to retake English 100 with you. The start of this semester, I was feeling very nervous because I knew the material would be harder than 307.

Also, the quotes shows how I can use description in my …show more content…
I feel I accomplished a lot in this course. I’m more confident in my writing skills. Before taking this class, I wasn’t really confident in my writing and my work. I will take many things from this class to English 1A. When we had to do the in-class editing, that actually helped me proofreading my essays. Also, the grammar tools and the techniques that you went over this semester. Since I struggle with grammar, the handouts that you gave us earlier this semester will help me for English 1A. I will continue working on my weaknesses throughout the months. Hopefully, they will become better the more I work on
