My Favorite Class Analysis

Improved Essays
Oh my gosh! Are you kidding me? We hadn’t even gotten to school and already I received an email from my writing professor. When I received the email about everything that was going to happen in the class throughout the semester, I automatically told myself I was going to hate the class. I knew I wasn’t that enthusiastic about reading (that’s putting it mildly), and writing, although not as bad, was still not on my top ten list. So, now I had an assignment due before school even started, what a great welcome to college, am I right? So much for easing into a whole new life experience. But my mom told me this was a good thing, it meant the professor is enthusiastic, passionate about his job and this is going to end up as one of my favorite classes. Once I got to school I was very nervous that everything we did would be harshly graded and thought there would be no way to pass this class considering I’m not a great writer. Adding that Dr. Ron starts everyone with a “C” didn’t really bode well in my mind as great opportunity for success. Also, after looking at the syllabus and seeing the amount of work that was on it …show more content…
Selecting my own topic, using my own voice and adding real life situations into the essay was fun. Did I just say I had fun writing? I guess having a connection to an essay and the topic makes it a lot easier to write and I loved that I got to write about something I felt strongly about. Researching and interviewing was a breeze for me. Having to write a research paper, research a topic and give a ten-minute speech and participate in National History Day and Science Fair from 7-12 grade actually paid off in college! Overall, I really enjoyed learning new tactics on how to better my writing not only by grammar but also being told I have to slow down. I’m never going to find a class that I enjoy every little thing about, but I did learn that I was very wrong to judge this class before even trying it

    I was used to high school classes, so would I transition into college smoothly? Little did I know, as soon as I sat down in my tiny college desk, I was about to be relieved. My teacher, Gale, changed my entire viewpoint on English 1102 but also college. Gale was excited from the beginning, and soon this infected me to be excited about the class, writing, and college. It was not until later weeks that I could make a personal connection with the writing process that Gale…

    Going into this college writing class, I did not know what to expect. All I anticipated about this class was that it is a general education class, that was required to graduate. I figured there was essays, but I did not expect how much. This class has taught me good information that can further help with my writing career. I said at the beginning of the year that I might want to do a fashion blog.…

    This will be some good times; classes will be great different teachers unlike the mean fifth grade one.

    Jamie – 582 WORDS Composition has changed my thinking in more ways than one. Writing is no longer a burden, but an opportunity to expand my thinking. Although I am not great at writing and I have more to learn, I now enjoy exploring ideas and putting pen to paper. I have been challenged almost to the brink of insanity and pushed to the edge but I have grown not only in my studies, but as a writer. My writing process in the beginning of this course was total chaos.…

    Surviving English Comp 1 Writing Class Writing is one thing I hate the most. It was hard to write an essay for the first time because I did not have the knowledge or concept of this writing style. Before this class, I thought I knew what writing was all about by expressing my thoughts, ideas and feeling. I know now that I had the wrong concept on how to write. I can express my thoughts, ideas and feeling, but if I put them in the wrong contents it does not lead the reader to the point of the essay.…

    College Prep Writing Advanced is the hardest class I have ever taken. I learned a lot over the course of this class, and I believe that my approach to writing has changed. I have learned that while writing it is easy to underthink, but it is easier to overthink. I also learned you cannot wait until the last minute to revise and edit essays. The first paper we wrote was the personal essay.…

    In the fall, I took the English 1001 class. I knew the class would personally be a struggle for me from my past writing attempts. I knew I had to pass this class in order to graduate, so it had a lot of importance to me. It was overwhelming to me throughout the class. Towards the end of the class, though, I saw a significant change in how quickly and smoothly I could write an essay.…

    After and absent of almost two years, this is my first quarter in Berkeley, and is Online. When selecting classes I kind of look which one I would like to have, and this class was one of my first option -second to my statistics class because that one I could not change at all! English writing is not one of my best skills, so I do need to put a lot of attention when I’m writing something to someone. This class had helped me a lot, so much, that even when I know I still make a lot of mistakes, I’m sure they are less than I used to do when I first started 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.…

    I have been a student at St. Cloud Technical Community College for almost 2 semesters, and over the course of these semesters I have completed mostly English courses. My writing style and overall understanding of English has grown, and I have learned more than I thought possible. I had taken numerous English courses throughout my high school days and expected to know exactly what I was in for. Boy oh boy was I wrong about that! Going through these classes has taught me to expand my mind and discover my deep thoughts and ideas.…
