ENGL 219: Reflecting My Learning

Decent Essays
I’m currently a student in the Media Studies and Professional Communications Diploma, ENGL 219 is a course I need to graduate next year. My goal for myself in this class is to continue to increase my writing and reading skills. I expect to be a more proficient and professional writer by the end of this course. Practicing my writing skills this spring will also keep me fresh academically and the summer break will be less detrimental to my learning. I plan to put in an hour of studying, reading and writing everyday, if I can I will also plan to do my best to not miss any classes. I hope this class will give me a better understanding of different forms of citation. I’m not sure if this class will make me a better student, it might make me a better

    Rhetoric In English 1002

    In English 1002 you learn a style of writing that is vastly different than the writing I did throughout high school and it varied slightly from the work we did in the Fall 2016 semester. In high school, many of my papers could be written with little revision and they also focused mostly on literary responses, like writing book reports that took little effort and could be written along with the rubric and receive a good grade. In high school the most sources I was ever required to get was ten, so you can imagine how Unit II was a bit of a surprise that we needed fifteen sources just for the draft of our bibliography. The biggest lesson I have learned from this class is how to conduct real research. Before this class I never spent time looking for sources and just pulled pieces together to make them work together.…

    During this summer session of ENGL101A, I have learned multiple ways to express myself through my writing. In fact, before signing up for this class, I did not know the proper way to compose an academic essay for a particular audience, and how to properly cite my sources. Nevertheless, after the short summer session, I am able to define my purpose and audience, analyze critically any piece of information, and write with proper citations and fewer grammatical errors with confidence. Through the short time of 5 weeks, I learned how to focus on my audience as well as how to define the purpose of my papers as academically as possible.…

    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.…

    English composition was never my strong nor favorite because of my knowledge of the grammar and organization in my writing. Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…

    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.…

    Throughout this course, writing took more than just writing about what you read. Here I learned to process all the information that needs to be processed and come up with some way to get it out on paper. With writing I have learned that vocabulary and grammar are two very affective sides to it. With grammar I have learned when to end a sentence. Working on grammar for my writing also allowed me to learn, when the time came for me to use punctuation and extend the sentence.…
