    Honestly I think i didn't learn a whole lot. Also I have learned that I definitely do not like doing research papers. I think that we should do something more enjoyable other than writing a few page miniature essay about a topic that you like, I think that if we do this we should be given a topic we do not know much about. This would help because it would give us greater experience on how to search a topic other than on something we might know a lot about. But that is just how I feel, to me I hate to do anything English class related I would much rather be in a class that I enjoy no…

    During the first half of the semester for ENC 1102, I believe that my writing skills have improved from ENC 1101; some of which are getting to page length, correctly citing a source, and incorporating how a quote is related to my argument. I still have some errors within my writing that I have not quite figured out how to tackle. Some concepts that I have not gotten down to a tee must be coming up with a thesis statement, basic grammar errors, introducing quotations, and repetition. I have also learned how to distinguish the difference between a personal essay and an argumentative essay with first hand on the two types and how why my grade differed from essay one and two.…

    The many skills that I have acquired include in-depth research, more through drafts, fluidity of my paper, and better outlines. These skills will help me writing in the future because I need good in-depth research, fluidity, and more through drafts to have a good starting point and will give me a better idea on what I need to add. The most effective thing we did in class was peer reviewing others essays because I got to see different writing styles and different ideas on how to incorporate my evidence better or different choice of words. Even though I have developed good skills for the future, I still have struggles in my writing. This class has helped me to recognize what I struggle with in writing so in the future I can recognize it and improve on my weaknesses. In the end, this class has helped me develop as a writer through the different activities we did and helped me to notice what I can improve upon in the…

    I can personally say that I feel the most accomplished about the improvements in my writing. Before this class, I did not like write at all. This was due to the fact that I was not the best at it. I was writing very generic essays that were filled with many, many grammatical errors. Now I feel as though my writing, and even my grammar has improved immensely. Early on in this class my writing was not the best, but through the extensive practice and learning about different writing prompts and techniques my writing got better throughout the year. The decoding packets that we did also helped me fix some of the frequent grammatical mistakes that I made. As the year went on this class became slightly, and I mean slightly easier. I am immensely proud of the fact that my writing has improved over this year, and the improvements in every area of writing that I made is the one thing that I feel the most accomplished…

    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.

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…

    In this course, I learned about writing steps like making a draft before you begin and not to write what you feel in your essay. I also learned about great note taking techniques. Today I learned about punctuation, pronouns, sentence errors and run-on sentences, Example: I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time. There are two complete sentences in the above. Example: Sentence 1: I love to write papers. Today I learned about plagiarism and MLA. Plagiarism is illegal and you could suffer profound consequences if you copied someone else work without citing it and using quotation marks. Today I learned about how to write a thesis statement, creating an effective outline, and how to create an outline in 15 minutes. I…

    Having to apply what I learned from each essay has really helped me a lot. By learning to use MLA style to have a better look throughout my essays, and fixing unnecessary semicolon and using commas when needed to avoid run on sentences or fragments, as well as eliminating to-be verbs for shorter more detailed sentence, and how to use work or words that aren't mine correctly to avoid plagiarism. From learning all those things, it has totally changed my way of writing because the way I used to go about my written, is not even close to how ENGL 101 changed me to being a better writer than I was before.…

    When I began this English course I was not the writer I am today. I wrote with several errors. I always thought I was an okay writer, but I did not realize I was not good enough to get the grades I wanted in college. I feel like I can say my writing has improved because of this class. For one I now know how to correctly do MLA format. I have also learned that the spelling and grammar check is your best friend while writing a paper. Not only have I learned how to improve the content of my papers but I have also learned how to lengthen my papers. Before this class I could barely write a page, but now I go beyond that. I have never understood the purpose in writing essays before but because of this class I do. Over the course of this semester…

    English 2010 has been a learning experience for me, I've been able to learn a lot about english that I did not know or work on before. With the first essay that we worked on I did a memoir I really enjoyed working on this paper, In class we were able to get freedom to add pictures to are pictures make it a little bit more creative I certainly was not used to this; I’ve been told my whole schooling experience that you have the intro and the conclusion and three body paragraphs. The memoir I was able to write to what I felt like I needed it to be, add pictures so it could appeal more to the eye when reading and also made it easier.…
