I started this course of my placement test results. I didn’t have any idea what to expect from this class. This is my first college level course and I had no previous writing experience. Writing is a process. It takes time and effort. I am still learning the basics of writing.
In the essays that I wrote so far, I had some organization and grammar issues. Just like the majority, I usually take short cuts when I write. I write as if I am talking or texting, I misuse some structures or use wrong grammar in the process. For example, this was a fragment on my first essay: “January 2005, left family and friends…” It should have been like: “In January 2005, I left family and friends….” I also have issues with articles and prepositions.
