On my first day of English 1101 class, I was expecting to have totally miserable time and told myself that it will be painful to go through an English class for a semester. However, all these expectations shattered after my very first day. My teacher, Gale Thompson, is a really positive and energetic person. Throughout the semester, I realized how much she cares about our learning experiences and helping us to become better writers. She was really caring and willing to help no matter what kind of…
Long story short, Tech stole my heart. So, on the first day of class I was very uncomfortable. For more reasons than the fact that it was an acting class. It was my first class as a college student and it was in a strange building that looks nothing like a theater. My first journal entry reads, “This was my first class as a college student so I didn’t know what I was walking into. Yesterday, I spent the entire day in Rarig just exploring… I spent all of Tuesday in my element, loading in a show.…
1. On the first day of class, the Prof Khan gave us write a diagnostic essay to see where we stood from a writing point. Next, we gave all gave a small introduction of ourselves. Furthermore, we had a small debate about Donald Trump. In the debate we questioned Trump’s motives while running for president. After the discussing about Trump, Prof Khan gave us a sheet on “Thinking and Writing”. On that sheet it had this written on it “How to say something worth saying about something worth saying…
When you walk in the first day of your junior English class, to a woman under 5 feet tall standing on a desk staring at you, you know that there are only two options; either this class is going to be fantastic or a complete disaster. I had heard from students that she had previously, that you could never please her. But, I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt, see what I could do and what was possible based on my experience. The bell rang and signalled for the class to begin. I took a deep…
this class was going to be really hard for me. The first days of class I was okay,but when I find out that I had to do an introductory speech I panicked. I am a very shy person and I don 't talk a lot, I know that this can be bad, but it is difficult for me to change. FYE made the right choice for me, with a group everything seems better. Throughout the semester there has been challenges for me in this class but I never gave up. Since I found out that I had to take a communication class, I knew…
Introduction Through out my English classes in high school, I lacked the confidence in my writings and group projects. In my written projects, I would dread peer review due to being scared that my classmates would judge my writing. I also would view every critique they gave as insulting me instead of trying to help me better communicate my ideas in my paper. During peer review sessions, I would be so wrapped up in the idea that my peers did not like aspects of my paper, that I would ignore the positive…
On the first day of English 102 class I sat down in a chair, I was nervous and worried I wouldn’t make any friends. I look over and I see a girl that sat next to me, we both gave a little smile at each other then went along with our business. Keondrane’ and I talked that first day, my first impression was this girl is shy like me. Keondrane’ is short, 5’0, she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She is shy and quiet when you first meet her, but as you get to know her she is a high-spirited…
this english class on the first day I didn’t know what to expect. For me this was a class I didn’t really want to take, it was a class that I didn’t feel I needed to take. After just the first day of class I soon relied that this class would only benefit me down the road. This class has effected my long term goals in more ways then I would have ever thought. In some ways it has taught me to speak my mind a little more and just do what comes natural. At the beginning of the semester my goals…
The first day of class my only thought was "How on earth am I going to write this paper?" And I struggled with it. I spent hours upon hours mulling ideas and options over, both in my mind and on paper. I found that the harder I thought about it, the more difficult it became to write. So I stopped thinking. I let my mind wander, and wrote as the ideas popped into my mind. Admittedly, the ideas didn 't start coming until about three weeks before the due date, but when they started coming they didn…
I truly have enjoyed taking your English 1010 class. This semester, I have experienced difficulties, challenges, and most importantly, the feeling of accomplishment after completing an assignment. During high school, I disliked English and really didn’t take any of the information in. This is the first time that I have enjoyed a composition class. I have always found it to be a struggle to write essays but you have taught me to dig deep into the papers that are being written. Your patience…
