Improved Essays
This semester I took RHET-120 class, and this was also my last rhetoric lesson. I still remember the first year I went to USF and attended in RHET-106N class. I felt very hard and worried about myself. Because school required us to complete all rhetoric class. And the first year in USF, I felt hard in taking the rhetoric class, because I was not good at writing, and I also had a little bit afraid of writing. By the time goes, and I attended rhetoric class every semester. I felt I was not that scared of writing anymore. As an international student, I knew I should pay more attention and work harder to catch up with the native students. In this semester RHET-120 class, I learned a lot writing knowledge. Before I attended to American University, I also had an image in my head. I was excited but a little bit nervous to see how was the academic writing skill would be. For me, I would like to think those several ways. Initially, I thought writing in university probably seems like high school, but deeply, more understanding and …show more content…
For me, before I start to write my essay, I consider these few steps. First, I choose a topic that was interesting to me. Because it made me more confidence to write the essay. Secondly, I would like to see the topic that appropriates to the length of my paper. Next, search online to see is there were any materials to support my ideas. I think the best piece of my writing had a strong argument in my essay. Because I like to write my experience, and I believe that it could be more persuasive.

It was very helpful for me to revise my essay. After I had taken this course, I had a deeply understanding of write/read skills. This what I had lost before. And I felt more confidence to write a new

    Looking back on the last four years of my life as a student of English, I have come to the conclusion that they were years well spent. Throughout these four years, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience that is indispensable, and will be of great value to me in the career path I am pursuing. I take pride in the fact that I am not just an English major, but have concentrated in Advanced Composition and Rhetoric. This sense of dignity; however, was not always at the forefront of my mind or even considered, for on more than one occasion I had doubts concerning the process, and even became somewhat antagonistic towards the requirements I had to take to complete the process. These feelings of doubts and antagonism stem from the…

    The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…

    The way I planned my paper was by writing a first draft. I picked a topic and then began to do some research. After finding the research I then started to write, not caring about my grammar or some of the words used. I find this to be the easiest for me to get my paper flowing with ideas and for me to effectively manage my time. My essay topic I chose to write about is argumentative, so I chose a topic that I feel can be debated (Hasa, 2015).…

    I believe that this class was able to help improve my writing skills in many ways. Producing mid-drafts seemed like a nuisance at first, but has really helped improve my writing. By producing mid-drafts I was always tempted to re-read my essays before handing them in, which is something that I had never did before. Also having peer feedback also helped my writing. With the peer feedback I was able to take what was wrong with my paper and fix it before turning it in for a final grade which I found as excellent.…

    If you were to ask me about my high school writing experience, I would tell you that I did not have much experience. We did not have any classes at my school that were specifically writing classes. At my high school, we just had regular English classes where we would occasionally do a few papers in. My English teacher senior year was a great person, but did not necessarily teach us a lot about proper styles of writing papers. Coming into college English, I did not feel well prepared with what to expect for a college level writing class.…
