In this fall semester of college what I’ve learned in Ms. Balderas class is knowing how to properly write a college written essay. I know after taking this course that I can somewhat write a well written essay that is college appropriate. In high school I was taught to write essay that were good enough for the teachers, but now that I’m in college I feel the need that I need to write better and show my instructor that I do know what I am writing about. I’ve learned so many ways to write a paper, but some of my essays aren’t there yet, I feel as if I haven’t gotten to the point where I’ve learned to write a paper that is good, but I know within time I’ll get there.

    College Composition Reflection

    Throughout the first semester of College Composition, I wrestled with three essays, all differing in format and content. The first was a narrative that reflected our educational experience. After this came an analysis of a visual text, followed by a research paper. The narrative was the easiest to write; however, I acquired important skills for writing the other two, which were in a less familiar format. With the three essays, I learned about my own writing skills and habits concerning development and critical thinking, time management, and organization.…

    Reflection Essay: My First College Writing Class

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par. It wasn’t until I received my score on the essay evaluation for my First-Week Essay- a measly five out of twenty- that I realized that this was not the case. At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…

    Thesis Statement For English Class

    When a professor hands a student a new writing assignment it can be incredibly intimidating trying to connect several ideas to a thesis, use proper grammar, and to have stellar word choice. Nothing is more frustrating than looking at a blank screen, with writer’s block, when an assignment is due the next day. However, no student has to be alone during this process of drafting an essay and making sure it is “perfect.” In fact, I have based my writing skills on what peers and educators have been able to teach me. Having college assignments on difficult topics can be intimidating, but it does not have to be that way.…

    Throughout the semester in Dr. Kennedy's class I have improved on many writing skills and techniques. In the class I have worked on the meal plan, thesis statements, the flow of the paragraphs, putting research in my essay and writing conventions.

    My Writing Experience

    When it came to assignments I was always the last one to turn in my essays. Writing essays based on school topics were the worst and I never found it interesting; it was probably with the idea that I did not know much about the topic or I had a little knowledge about it. As time passed by, it became a problem in my writing process because i found it really difficult. Google has been always my source of help in writing I searched ‘’how to write effective essays.” Now that I am in college, I took an English summer class and the teacher assigned us to write an essay with the topic of ‘’College Expectations’’.…

    Persuasive Writing Challenges

    When I first started writing, there were only two things that went into mind, giving it my best effort and hoping to get a grade that can satisfy me. Writing wasn’t always my best subject, I usually do pretty good on them at times and of course there are scenarios where it’s the opposite. Whether it came to a writing a persuasive essay or an essay out of the unexpected, such as writing based on a documentary, I felt that it really depends on what the prompt is about that determines how well I will do. Throughout the years, I learn more on how to become a better writer especially a teacher gives feedback on them. There is a topic that I somewhat do not struggle with, but think about when it comes to writing.”…
