Reflection On Gsw 1110 Instructor

Great Essays
My GSW 1110 instructor is Mr. Klever. He was my Advanced English 11 teacher as well. Therefore, having him for the second year in a row, it made coming into this course much easier. I knew how his teaching style was and I was already use to it, rather than coming into a brand new class with an instructor I knew nothing about or how their teaching style was. Being in GSW 1110 my senior year of high school has taught me so many things and made me become a better writer as well as getting me ready for my future college classes and my future career. This class has bettered me in my writing abilities as well as my ability to do better research. I have learned many things throughout my semester in GSW 1110 such as counterarguments, different …show more content…
Using MLA format is a big part for me and the career I would like to pursue in. I need to know how to use this formatting because my letters need to look professional when I get into my career. Citing my sources have gotten a lot better than they were in the past few years. It was a good thing to learn how to cite things correctly so when I officially go to college, I will need to cite things correctly not just in my Composition classes, but all of my other classes as well. I also used peer edits to help make sure my paper was ready to turn in. I would have about two or three of my peers look and read over my paper and make comments on it on things that I needed to fix or correct. Having these peer editors and learning how to cite my sources correctly will help ready myself for my future academics and my future career effectively. For my research paper which was “Proposing a Solution” I learned how to do my research more effectively. Instead of going to Google and looking something up, I would go to a reliable news source to get my information. By doing this, it would make the information I put in my paper more reliable and more credible. This way when readers would read my paper, they would not be questioning whether my information in my essay was correct or not. By becoming better at this skill, I will be able to use it effectively in both my future academics and my future

    Over the course of English 102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing.

I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In the beginning, before English 102, I struggled with good organization and flow to an essay, sandwich evidence into paragraphs, and having strong arguments in persuasive essays.…

    Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 I did my observation of Paul Dunbar Middle School. Some of the first things I noticed when I entered the school was how enormous the school’s population is and how the school was mostly Hispanic and African American students. I arrived at the front desk and was asked by the assistant principal what was my preference of classroom. She then proceeded to take me the section of the school where the ESE classes are held. ESE stands for exceptional student education classes.…
