Composition studies

When I first started this course, I did not know much of the requirement and expectations of Writing 39C. I have gotten preludes from my previous writing courses: Academic English 20B-C and Writing 39A-B, that Writing 39C is a course on research writing and that it consists two main components. However, I did not know what was specifically included in the course and I was not familiar in writing a research based paper because the papers that I have written for other classes are analysis and…

Your English 150 class helped comprehensively in developing my writing and oral skill sufficiently. As I was assigned to do the five major assignments excluding the E-portfolio, I learned how to creatively format my writings with a combination of formality and rhetoric. Generally, each different assignment has its unique style of writing which made me think about being a blogger in the future. Since writing is an artistic method of expressing feelings and converting them into written words, I…

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…

Freshman Composition has resulted in many sleepless nights and has been by far the most difficult class I have ever taken. The class is designed to get a student ready for college life and realize that everything is at a much faster pace with assignments being assigned daily. Throughout this portfolio it should be clear that in the beginning of the semester I had struggled in my writing and have progressively become better as a writer. Personally, the biggest accomplishment for me was to not…

Introduction a) In my portfolio it has documents that throughout the semester that I have worked on. It includes my annotated bibliography, a research paper, a non-academic form, and an introduction paper. I enjoyed writing these varieties of papers because I believe that it expanded my knowledge. I liked how not every paper had to be a formal paper and some of them were more laid back than others. In most classes while writing a paper making sure everything is formal and you have enough words…

a lot on my mind, considering I’m in nearly every activity Okoboji has to offer, and writing is almost like a way of venting. College Composition class has pushed me to write more since, without it, I probably wouldn’t be writing anything at all. And because of that, I’ve learned many things and most definitely grown as a writer. My first letter I…

I do my best to stay on track everyday and approach my studies in a scholarly and professional way, but some days I get off track and get absolutely nothing done. The majority of the time though is spent on improving my education in a respectable manner. In carrying out I was 90% dependable there were sometimes…

Throughout my school years, writing has been the biggest problem. After completing the course English 1110.03, I have learned so many new things in terms of thinking big and writing, which I lacked in the courses that I took previously. Two take away I got from my English 1110.03 class is how to write and express myself, and how to fix the grammar mistakes. This class has taught me to write and express my thoughts and ideas in a coherent manner. I have always struggled to put my thoughts on the…

This semester, I have learned a lot from this English 101 course. I have not only learned from you, but also from my peers and myself. Entering this class, I had a good understanding of what this course was about because I took a pre-English class over the summer. Although I feel it provided me with a decent grasp of the course, the material of pre-English was condensed into six weeks, so there was still a lot left to learn. English 101 was very beneficial because it helped strengthen my writing…

This semester has flown by; however, English 101 has shaped my writing in so many ways. Initially, I did not recognize the ways which rhetoric, technology, research, and collaboration have affected my writing. As I review my work from this semester, it is quite noticeable that my writing has improved a lot since English IV honors. Rhetoric Of all the things I have learned in English 101, rhetoric has continued to be something I use. Prior to this class I knew that I should always convey the…
