Life is short. That is the simple and unforgiving fact that cannot be avoided. It can often pass by as quickly as it comes when noses are buried in our cell phones instead of observing and appreciating the changing of seasons or the orange-purple sunset that concludes each day. That one idea— to pay attention— is what drives Alice Steinbach 's philosophy on writing along with a collection of other tactics taught to her by her ninth grade creative writing teacher Miss Dennis, which is showcased in her essay "The Miss Dennis School of Writing". Steinbach creates a well-rounded philosophy consisting of many elements throughout the essay.…
Yes, Tanishia plagiarized in her paper. Her simply changing a few words did not make the passage her own. She should have either rewritten it in her own words, or she could have made it a properly cited direct quote. In either instance, she would have needed to add the source to her Work Cited…

Upon reading the grading polices for this class I understand the guidelines and expectations as follows: I understand that the instructor, Mr. Fanning does not round grades upward, therefore I will strive to achieve the highest grade possible on my assignments, so that this policy will not hurt my overall grade. I understand that Mr. Fanning, does not create extra credit assignments, that being said, I will not ask Mr. Fanning for extra credit, and I will ensure that there will be no need to ask him, as my grade will be high enough to the point where extra credit is unnecessary. I understand that the due dates for assignments are final, and that work turned in late will not be accepted by Mr. Fanning. Because of this policy I will ensure that I turn in my assignments early, and not wait until the deadline to actually turn the…

In any school you have attended, in pretty much every grade, plagiarism is something a writer should never do under any circumstances. When reading the essay “Something Borrowed,” Malcolm Gladwell gave insight into the flaws of plagiarism that writers may not have thought about before. The first being that plagiarism is never acceptable (927). The second issue with plagiarism is recognizing the differences that can or cannot “inhibit creativity” (931). Being inspired by another person work can help and guide you to build your own ideas but simply taking their work and claiming it as yours is not okay.…
“Can you repeat that?” seemed to be the only phrase anyone asked me. Despite English being my first language, I did not advance as quickly as others in speech and in reading. Because i did not practice pronunciation as a child, there is nobody to blame for my speech impediment except myself. Therefore, when presented the opportunity to take an AP English class in my junior year, I did not hesitate to accept - the only way for me to improve my English was to undergo an arduous class and practice.…
Proof reading and Mismatch repair are crucial processes in DNA replication, their existence reduces the likelihood of a mutation occurring by a significant amount. In fact, proofreading reduces the likelihood of errors occurring to approximately one in every ten million nucleotides (Pierce, 2012-pp354). This essay will emphasise the importance of proofreading during, and mismatch repair post DNA replication and explore its significance in the mechanisms that drive Lynch syndrome. In eukaryotes 3 DNA polymerases are used for Elongation; DNA polymerase α, DNA polymerase δ and DNA polymerase ε.…
To whom it may concern. Your essay was on topic throughout the presentation, however, it lacks clarity in certain paragraphs. Also, there was evidence of bad grammar mistakes, as well as spelling errors. My intentions are not to discredit your essay; but give constructive criticism to help you reach your goals.…
Throughout English Composition 1, I have learned several crucial writing skills. Writing skills that will benefit me in other classes, outside of school, and during my future college years. Not only will these benefit my overall writing and making it flow better, it will all in all make more sense to the readers. Even though I learned many skills and objectives during this semester, four skills really stood out to me. Cohesion, comma usage, the use of satire, and how to write a definitional essay.…
Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…
English 106 was the first real college class that I ever stepped foot in, and because of that, I was extremely nervous and unsure. The English teachers at my high school always said that the papers they assigned were held to college standards, and I always did well on those assignments, but I was still unsure about this course. I expected this course to be loaded with reading and writing assignments that would make me pull all-nighters on a regular basis. After going through English 106, I realized that there were not too many assignments and that I learned a lot from each one. To me, the most salient parts of this course were the discourse community paper, the annotated bibliography, the art analysis, peer reviews, revisions, and reflections.…
One 's thing for sure is that I enjoyed English 102 way more than English 101. I had a terrible experience in English 101 and am still mad about the experience to this day. However, I greatly enjoyed my experience in my English 102 class. I loved almost every aspect of my English 102 class, including my teacher, classmates, and even work that was required. Through English 102, I have learned a lot about writing and can say without a doubt that it has made me into a better writer for many reasons.…
At this spring semester, there is one of the most essential classes that I have taken at ASU which called ENG 194, Academic Writing in English taught by Professor Zhao. As I said, I am taking WAC at the same time, Introduction to Academic Writing, which is also a class about writing. However, compared with WAC, this ENG class concentrates more on practices, experiences gaining knowledge instead of grammar, vocabulary, and other writing techniques. Even though there is exclusively one class on each Wednesday I learned a portion of useful knowledge and skills on pragmatic writing through this semester, such as sending emails, interviewing as well as presentations, job applications and so on.…
