I know that I can pass this class with the amount of effort because it isn’t easy to write the type of essay that we have been writing for the past few weeks of the semester. I know that can pass this course, I’ve learned how to appropriately write college essay with all of the time and points that my instructor has given me I’m hopefully that I can still be improving through my college year and still keep on writing and becoming better at it. I think it just takes time and effort to make it through each course that you take, but I know I can be able to pass this course not only with the help of my instructor but my peers as…
Claim: Prejudice and discrimination is unfair; treating others different is unethical. No group is superior than others, as the PBS film Class Divided experiment conducted by Mrs. Elliot had proven how children are taught to discriminate from such an young age. Agreeing with the textbook, Social Problems, in regards to the harm it can cause, “...larger society is damaged because it misses out on what the victims could contribute; moreover, society is harmed further because racial tensions create conflict that makes the society less productive and harmonious” (Best 5). Grounds: Mrs. Elliot announce to her students both Tuesday and Thursday, reversing the blue-eyes and brown-eyes superiority than the other. For example, the first day of experiment, “the blue-eyed people are the better people in this room.…
I chose to write about the essay “Do your best” This essay really hit home for me. I also had a fifth grade teacher named Mr. Okey. I first met Mr. Okay, 3yrs prior when he substituted for my 2nd grade class. He was a kind, gentle soul, he looked like Santa Clause, and he wore tweed dress coats with patches on the elbow. He served in the Korean War, and was a world traveler.…
I was expecting my professor to be arch on correcting papers and giving feedbacks. I was expecting my class to have a lot of native speakers. however, it wasn’t the case, my was very nice, and gave us good feedbacks in other to improve our writing style and patterns. I was put in a class with students that had problems with the language. So it was very easy to help each other out with problems that we were facing.…
Writing was not a subject that held my interest in high school. Throughout the last twelve years I have found myself having to write letters, proposals, and business correspondence for my employers. I would complete the assignment and move on to the next task. Deciding to further my education I enrolled in Daytona State College and my first class was your ENC 1101. I have seen a change in my pre-class writing style; I have honed my skills, and the different techniques I have learned while taking this course have only improved my writing style.…
Safinaz Elhadary Professor Massimo Verzella ESL 15 12 December 2016 Dear Dr. Massimo, At the beginning of the semester, I had many goals and objectives for this class. I wanted to become a more sophisticated reader that could critically analyze any piece of writing. I also wanted to be a more flexible writer.…
The very first week of class we were given the prompt for the Dear Instructor Letter, and boy did that first assignment open my eyes and change my approach and opinion, very quickly. This assignment gave my peers and me the opportunity to share with you, our biggest concerns about taking this class. I was hesitant because I knew my writing skills had never been very “scholarly”, plus it had been near a…
This AP class focuses on writing styles and techniques to further an understanding of the fundamentals of writing. By understanding the techniques, I can transform that knowledge for the benefit of the career I may intend to pursue. I am…
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.…
In the end, this class has helped me develop as a writer through the different activities we did and helped me to notice what I can improve upon in the…
Wow, it’s hard to believe this semester has already come to an end. When I first walked into English 102 this semester I wasn’t sure what to expect of this course, but I knew I would be challenged. Although before this course I knew how to write papers, I had trouble expressing my thoughts effectively in my writing. After this semester I feel have started to overcome the the struggle and I know it is because of the past essay assignments and class activities we did this semester.…
Overall Professor Castro has helped me improved my easygoing attitude to one fit for a scholar. Out of all the assignments given in the college writing course, this self-reflection essay is the one I am most proud of. This essay has shown me my improvements academically. Instead of focusing on my grade on each assignment, this essay helped me reflect on what works best for me as a student.…
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.…
Reading and writing have never been my strong suit. I have struggled in both ever since I can remember. Throughout the making of my e-portfolio, I revealed the growth I have made as a reader and a writer. It is a journey that has taken me a while to reach, but I have come a long way and feel like I am finally getting my wings to soar.…
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. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. 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.…
