In Freshman Composition I have learned a few things thus far but plan to learn many more things about this class and also about myself. I have learned that MLA formatting is still a rule and this class will not allow procrastination. From what I have learned so far I expect this class to be easy as long as I stay focused on the task. Although I am great at procrastination I have set a goal in my educational career to get the assignments done prior to the night before. This goal will help me succeed greatly in this class throughout the semester.

    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.…

    Reflective Essay: The Challenge Of My Freshman Grade

    The Grades Challenge Freshman year was a difficult year for my grades. I was failing a few classes and it seemed like the harder I focused on the percentage, the farther I got away from it. I talked to my teachers about how I could try to get my grades up and was simply told “you won’t get a better grade.” I was stuck with what I had is what I was told, and they ended up being right about that year. I was worried that maybe something was wrong; maybe I wasn’t as smart as I used to be.…

    How To Write A Reflective Essay About My English Composition Class

    Throughout this portfolio I will demonstrate to my instructor and peers my development throughout our course, including the challenges and successes. I hope my portfolio will serve as a helpful source for me to refer back to in future classes, and aid as a guide for future students and their journey through college. In the beginning of first semester, in English Composition 121, I had preconceived ideas as to what the expectations would be for this class based on my experience eleven years ago. I had pre-determined how I would approach this class and what I was going to do, so never once did I expect to learn something useful.…

    English 101 Reflection

    This English 101 class has helped me in variety of ways in gaining and shaping skills in writing. I learned how do compose several types of essays including: professional, informal, casual, cause and effect, and argumentative and was given the format for writing these. Every week, the class was given one of these types of essay to write and throughout the class periods, I would start and finish them. I saw that if I outline these essays with key points of my topic before I officially being writing the first draft, an essay is not difficult to come up with. I would only have to include transitions, which I also learned, and maybe a few more sentences to make my ideas connect properly and flow smoothly.…

    What I Learned During My Writing Process

    I chose to revise the first and forth essay. I chose these because they are the shortest essays. I know you wanted me to revise my research essay because I did not have parenthetical citations, but during my writing center visit I asked about those and I learned where they should be and how they should look. When I revised my papers I tried to think about the questions someone else who is not familiar with the topics would ask about my papers and I answered them.…

    For my first semester of college, I took this class having previous experience in AP English courses. So I thought the class would be easy and I believed I wouldn’t learn anything new. After a couple classes however, I realized that I still had to improve my skills as a writer. Throughout the course of the semester, I was able to better understand the importance of peer edits, utilizing my resources, and writing elements which helped my growth as a student and a writer.…

    Throughout the year in Honors Freshmen Literature Composition, I have grown as a writer through fine tuning my strengths, acknowledging my weaknesses, and assessing my growth as a writer. I have improved my use of sensory detail, vocabulary, and word choice and set reading and writing goals for next year. My most prominent writing strength that I have improved during this year is my use of sensory detail. Throughout my recent writings, there is evidence of my expansion of sensory detail through the revisions I made of my writings. In my revised memoir version, I have examples of my immense improvement in sensory detail use, including, “....…

    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.…

    Reflection On Composition II

    Introduction Looking back at my essays from my first semester in Composition I, I can definitely see that I have improved tremendously. My learning from my Composition II was not so much about learning concepts, but it was more about improving what I already learned last semester, and adding onto it. Compared to last semester, my learning this semester came from paying attention to details, following the rules, and adapting to a new teaching style. While last semester, my learning came from new concepts like ethos, pathos, logos and knowing what they are and how they work.…

    English Composition Class Reflection

    While taking a class in college, many people just go through the motions and show up to class to get the job done. But after taking my first English Composition class this fall I realized how much important material and knowledge I have gained. During the class we learned everything from little bits of grammar to writing six page papers. Learning how to start the drafting process on a paper and build an effective was by far the most important skill I have learned in class. Being able to effectively write a paper is such an important skill and I will need this skill for classes that I will be taking for my major.…

    Reflective Essay: What I Learned From My Writing Class

    Throughout this semester of English 101, writing has become more of a skill than a struggle. Writing was a challenge that I dreaded when I chose to be in the course, nonetheless with time, I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve. This course made me very doubtful on whether I could be capable of even writing a paper that would provide me with a decent grade, but at the same time made me push myself in my writing technique. In the end, I can reflect that I learned from my mistakes and wrote papers that took time and dedication to accomplish. I learned from this class to be confident in my writing and make all the mistakes to receive the grade I want in the end.…

    How To Write A Reflective Essay On What I Learned In English Class

    At the beginning of this semester, I was starting my senior year in highschool and my mother wanted me to take English Composition 1 as a dual credit class. I was very nervous and did not want to take this class. I have never been a very good writer, and I have never liked to write, especially not essays. I tried to talk my mother out of making me take the class, but my effort was useless. She was dead set on me taking the class.…

    Composition Reflection Paper

    Composition II has been an interesting class that has helped me to adapt and grow as a writer. I came into this class not sure what to expect, besides the norm of writing papers, but even then I wasn’t sure what kind of papers I would be writing when I enrolled. It turned out that this class covered many topics as we worked on writing research papers for a topic of our choosing. In the time following the start of our assignments, there was a lot to learn about how to research, working with others, the mechanics of writing, and becoming professional in how we explain the information we’ve gathered. When it came to research, I wasn’t quite sure where to start.…

    Reflection: What I Learned In My Writing Course

    I am very thankful for taking this course as I feel I have vastly improved in multiple areas of my communication. I had never taken a course that involved writing a paper and then presenting a speech on it to the class. It was either one or the other, not both. That is what intrigued me to take this course before the semester started. For myself great strides were made in my ability to convince readers through the toulmin model, learned in this course.…

    My Experience: My High School Writing Experience

    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.…
