Tquisha, can you believe it? We have almost completed our third college class, yet it seems like only yesterday since we had orientation in Nashville, TN. As you stated in this week’s discussion post the connection between using proper grammar in our speech, and writing is a close one (T. Waller, personal communication, January 3, 2017). Furthermore, throughout this class, I have worked hard to speak grammatically correct, and I have noticed a small improvement that correlates to my writing.

I believe that it is fair to say that our grasp of grammar has increased exponentially throughout this course, and I am excited to see our growth. However, as you mentioned this is not only based on the course curriculum, but also on the excellent resources that have been shared with us one (T. Waller, personal communication, January 3, 2017). I see that you have mentioned Grammarly, which is helpful, and Easybib as sources that you have used. Both of these resources are accommodating, but neither is my favorite. I find that Paper Rater is my favorite due to the detailed information it returns as it allows me to better modify my essays. …show more content…
Waller, personal communication, January 3, 2017). Better jobs, better grades, and additional peer respect is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg in the possibilities that good grammar opens to us. I have seen so much growth from you Tquisha, not only as a writer but your grasp of grammatical mechanics appears to have deepened as well. I look forward to watching you grow further as we continue our journey. Until next time, be well my

    Will Spelling Count Jack Connor Analysis

    In writing classes the most common first day question is whether or not spelling and grammar will count. Most commonly students focus more on how they are writing and if it is grammatically correct or not rather than writing their inner thoughts. Jack Connor in his essay, “Will Spelling Count?”, argues that writing requires meticulous efforts through his use of cause and effect, comparison and contrast, and division and classification. Connor displays cause and effect throughout his essay to show how different ways of teaching affect students performance and effort level.

    Personal Narrative: My Mistakes In My Writing

    Studio 121 had made me realize the many common mistakes people make in writing and the simple solutions to help improve the writing. English 121 was a difficult class and even more so when your grammar isn’t all too great, though I was lucky enough to have been scheduled with this class also since it had helped me very much and even improved my writing. When I first began in this class, I felt that my writing was obviously lacking and because I wasn’t that good with grammar it made it worse. From the start, I had trouble on how to make my writing better, but eventually I began to take notice small grammar mistakes which were easily fixable. But I still have a bit of trouble with mixing up my subordinates and conjunctions, I’m sure though with…

    Reflective Essay: What I Learned From My Writing Class

    Throughout this semester of English 101, writing has become more of a skill than a struggle. Writing was a challenge that I dreaded when I chose to be in the course, nonetheless with time, I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve.

    Reflection On Reading Class

    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.…

    Essay About English Class

    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.

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.…
