I did not need to take English 101 at Nicholls State University because I had already taken the course through a dual enrollment course at my high school. Entering from that class to an actual college English class was very different than what I thought. In the dual enrollment course it was more focused on creative writing than technical writing. In the dual enrollment course it was more of a literature class and I thought college English would resemble that more. We would have an assignments to discuss literature and journals to help us practice writing creatively. I think that my AP English four class in high school was more of a college English course than my dual enrollment class. In my high school English classes it resembled a college …show more content…
Going through English 102 I felt that I have made improvement on my growth as a writer. I was not prepared to enter an English 102 class but I now feel like I’m prepared for the other English classes to follow. I feel like as I move on to other English classes I am better able to meet the demands of a college English class in the future. I feel more confident when writing an essay. Before when I was given an essay I was stressed because essays are the hardest for me. The reason they are the hardest is because I am a weak technical writer and it shows in my essays. The low scores that I receive on my essays are only because of my grammar errors that I make on them. I can write creatively but when comes to grammar I am weak. The changes I have made in English 102 is grammar and becoming more knowledgeable about the outline of an essay. In English 102 we went over certain writings like persuasive writing. The class is made up of three essays in which we have to practice how to follow certain criteria for each essay. We really focused on citations and how to work with them in an essay. We also so focused on what it is required in an essay to discuss every aspect of the topic that could arise. Our teacher also went over what should be in an essay including the thesis, transitional sentences, and the work

    English 1010 Class Reflection

    Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 1010 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…

    English 102 Reflection

    Over the course of English 102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing. During the semester in English 102, my writing became stronger because I learned how to incorporate evidence into my argument, do more thorough research, have smoother transitions, and have more organization throughout my essay. I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In the beginning, before English 102, I struggled with good organization and flow to an essay, sandwich evidence into paragraphs, and having strong arguments in persuasive essays.…

    He showed me that with every argument comes a counter argument; adding a counter argument reinforced my argument greatly. Another technique I applied to my essays with Professor Castro’s instruction was planning. In high school, planning an essay seemed like a waste of time because the assignments were always just five paragraph, five sentence essays. Since we had to write these essays in such a short amount of time for tests, I was able to produce the work the night before. On the other hand, Professor Castro has shown the divergence between high school and college; planning and editing are two essential steps in writing.…

    English 101 Reflective Essay

    After finishing the English 101 course I feel like I have accomplished many of the goals that I was challenged with the beginning of the course, such as critically thinking and reading with text from the textbook “Dialogues” by Gary Goshgarian, substantively replying to my peers to understand their point of views from the text and to get a better understanding of a rhetorical argument. Thinking and reading critically were very important this whole course. Thinking and reading critically were something you would have to do in every assignment that was given. Incorporating it in every assignment has helped us greatly improve week by week and betters our understanding of each topic and the assignments main idea.…

    However, all students need to understand the difference between in both a high-school and college English class. Every college freshman has to face an English class. It can be a little overwhelming at times for some at first because unlike high-school, where one meets with teachers an hour a day for 5 days a week, in college, students are to meet with their professor 2 or 3 times a week for only 2-3 hours a week. So, students have to adjust themselves to the schedule and…
