My ability to write and understand myself as a writer has changed because of the many subjects that were talked about in class. Such as, grammar to ensure that sentences are effective and using grammatical structures in your essay. Make sure to have paragraphs relate to your thesis statement. Have good punctuation in your essay like commas, exclamation points, and periods at the end of each sentence. I didn’t pass this class the very first time I took it, so I hope maybe this time around, it was worth it to learn from my past mistakes. Using good grammar and sentence structure is vital to your success in college writing courses. Having no comma splices is important because you don’t want to have two sentences together to make it an even longer

    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.…

    When I first started the rhetoric, inquiry and critical writing course I was unaware of the specific flaws in my writing assignments. During this course not only did I figure out my own style of writing, but I also learned about other writing styles and how I could incorporate them into my own writing. The constructive criticism given by my peers and professor improved my way of writing. The hardest obstacle I had to face while writing was staying on topic. I gave too much information about a general topic instead of focusing on a small portion and brainstorming from there.…

    She woke up the way no one wants to: alone, afraid, and not particularly sure of her whereabouts. While panicking seemed to be the most enjoyable action for someone in this scenario, she decided that logic would be the most effective way to cope. As her eyes adjusted to the dim morning light she was able to tell that she was sitting on a bed in a rural shack. Around her were very few items, a dresser on the opposite wall, a nightstand next to the bed, and a dusty and rotting wood chair. The walls were wood, as well as the ceiling and floor, but they were stripped and peeling, worn down by years of water damage and termite infestations.…

    This week I have been focusing on technique. My mentor said that was one of the most important things, when learning how to play the guitar. He said, since my fingers hadn’t learned the difference yet that I might as well learn how to do it the correct way. This is because as I continue it will be easier to play, and will in the end, sound better. He always says that anybody can pick-up a guitar and learn how to play, but to become a musician it takes practice and dedication.…

    My approach to reading has changed over the semester. Before this class, I would just read without taking notes. In reading, I would just read instead of looking up the difficult word or using context clues to figure out what the word means. Now during my reading I annotate and look up unknown vocabulary words. When I look up the difficult word, I would find the closest appropriate definition.…
