College Prep Writing Class Analysis

College Prep Writing Advanced is the hardest class I have ever taken. I learned a lot over the course of this class, and I believe that my approach to writing has changed. I have learned that while writing it is easy to underthink, but it is easier to overthink. I also learned you cannot wait until the last minute to revise and edit essays. The first paper we wrote was the personal essay. I took not using linking verbs to heart, and took almost all of mine out. I learned the hard way that even though linking verbs should be in every sentence of an essay some sentences will not makes sense without them.
In this class, I have grown more than I ever thought I would. When I signed up for this class I went in thinking I was a really strong writer, but when I got my first paper back I realized my mindset was a little too high. As this class comes to a close, I definitely feel like I am a stronger writer than I was before this class.
Although I feel I am a better writer now, I still need to work on a few areas. Over the course of this class I

I think the way we were given strict rules like that the papers were due on one day, and if it was not turned in on time, the grade was a zero.
In my opinion the only thing that could have been done differently is how close I personally looked at the punctuation in my papers. The class really helped me improve my writing skills, so I have nothing bad to say about this class.
This class helped me a lot. I learned so much in just a few weeks. Yes, the class was difficult, but I would not change it. This class was made to be challenging, and changing it would make it easier. I cannot really pinpoint one part of the class that helped me because from the beginning of this class to the end I was learning something

    On the first day of class, I felt pretty confident about my level of skills as a writer, but little did I know there were a lot of aspects in my writing that could be improved. As time progressed and we learned more about colloquial language and little things I could change in my essays to further advance and improve my writing. Now, I feel even more confident about my writing and know that all of these little changes I can make in my writing create a better flow of ideas and a higher level of formality. I feel that throughout this semester I have been greatly challenged as a writer and have advanced the most that I ever have in writing within such a short period of time. I have put in a lot time and effort into this class in order to create…

    The first time, I enrolled in this class, I felt excited knowing this class would help on my grammar, so I can become a better writer. My first thought that cross my mind was this was going to be easy and it was. My last experienced with writing and English was okay because I mainly get a B or a C, but rarely I would get an A. I always been having trouble with grammars. My high school English teachers taught us about grammars and how to become a better writer. It was similar to what you had taught us in class because we always learned about grammar out of a book and we got tested after we been practice.…

    Writing was not a subject that held my interest in high school. Throughout the last twelve years I have found myself having to write letters, proposals, and business correspondence for my employers. I would complete the assignment and move on to the next task.

I have seen a change in my pre-class writing style; I have honed my skills, and the different techniques I have learned while taking this course have only improved my writing style.…

    I believe that this class was able to help improve my writing skills in many ways. Producing mid-drafts seemed like a nuisance at first, but has really helped improve my writing. By producing mid-drafts I was always tempted to re-read my essays before handing them in, which is something that I had never did before. Also having peer feedback also helped my writing. With the peer feedback I was able to take what was wrong with my paper and fix it before turning it in for a final grade which I found as excellent.…

    This class has been an interesting class this semester. I never dreamed of actually having to take a writing class. When my advisor told me there was going to be a Comp one class and also a Comp two class that I had to take I was worried. I have learned so many things about correctly writing over this semester that it is very insightful now. I will always be the reader, not the writer but that ok because I have had a wonderful Comp teacher that has helped me more than I could have dreamed.…

    One of the most important lessons was that I needed to stay on top of my work otherwise it would take a while to catch up. In college, classes and papers will fly by faster than in this class, so I feel lucky to have the opportunity to feel the college paper writing experience. I also this this class taught me to work hard and never give anything less than 100 percent. I feel this way because with every paper I had to prove my skills and writing techniques in order to get a good grade. Taking this class has helped me improve my skills and techniques as a writer, and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead in Composition…

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.…

    I have definitely learned a lot more from this class than I thought I would have. When this class started, I was not excited, because I have never liked writing, and felt that I was not very good at it. Now it’s coming to an end and fast. I always enjoyed coming to class because it went by quickly and was never dull. It started with free writes to help with our fluency, to class discussions, peer editing, and your revisions of our essays.…

    Writing has always been a struggle for me for as long as I can remember. I find it difficult to put my thoughts on a paper, especially if I have to do it in another language. Some people think that as long as they can speak a language or communicate with other people, it is enough. However, these people are totally wrong. People do not only need to speak a language fluently, but they also have to be able to write it.…
