In the first quarter, this class benefited me in understanding the structure of an essay so that it is easier for me to write it. I have enjoyed learning new vocabulary every week and doing the worksheets with activities. The challenges I had in this quarter was the cell phone opinion essay. The word “essay “ gives me anxiety, but I understand that I have to write many papers throughout my life. The grade I got for this quarter is a grade I deserve and I take full responsibility. I am not quite happy with it, but next time I will remember what changes I need to make in order to get a better grade.

As far as participation, I think my participation has been fair. I socialize with my group and get called on to participate in the class. My goal

    I hope I learn to write a great essay before the end of this writing course. I had been out of school for nearly forty two years and I believed I knew everything that I needed to know about writing. The first in class writing assignment showed me that I knew diddly-squat about writing, I never knew that there were so many different types of essay. The first essay I wrote was a bomb and opened my eyes to what is needed to write a really good essay. It helped when the teacher would group us into four or five and we would use the time for brainstorming or group discussion on different topic.…

    Wow, it’s hard to believe this semester has already come to an end. When I first walked into English 102 this semester I wasn’t sure what to expect of this course, but I knew I would be challenged. Although before this course I knew how to write papers, I had trouble expressing my thoughts effectively in my writing. After this semester I feel have started to overcome the the struggle and I know it is because of the past essay assignments and class activities we did this semester.…

    Psychology so far hasn’t been too bad so far during the semester. I thought at the beginning this class would most likely have been by far one of the most challenging classes I have taken coming from have taken only some AP courses and Honors classes during high school. Currently I am sitting at an 93.1% (270/290 points) in the class, which isn’t what I want to be at which is at least a 95%, but I can build on that and improve my scores throughout the semester. Coming into the class, I looked at the point breakdown from the syllabus and calculated mentally what I would need to get in each category to maintain an A, but also have an A by when the final comes so I wouldn’t have to take the final exam. Ultimately that is my goal for this course,…

    At the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as a creative writer. After attending this class I realized that there is a lot more that goes into writing an essay, or a research paper, than just creativity alone. I have learned that it is very important to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…

    This English class has been very helpful in my efforts to improve my writing abilities, but has also been very challenging due to there being a different median for every essay. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. I can’t say that writing essays has been one of my strong points but I believe that this course has helped me improve tremendously and it has also made me feel a lot more comfortable with my writing. While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes.…
