The area that I think that i have benefited from this class the most is in writing. I did take a little bit about of the reading, it thought me how to understand what point and author is trying to get across. When I am writing a paper now i know what person I should be in and how to draw in an audience. It is not like I am the greatest writer now, but I have defiantly seen much improvement in myself.

    I think that my biggest success in this course was remembering how to actually sit down and write papers/essays/reports. This was my first semester in college after being out of school for a decade and a half. I did not realize how much has changed, and how much I had forgotten until I had to submit my first assignment. I’m not sure if it is funny, or if it is said that when I went to school the first time, was taught to hit the space bar twice after each period, use footnotes, underline titles, and the bibliography went at the end of the paper to complement my footnotes. Through this course, I learned how to do things modernly and properly.…

    As a person whose English is not my first language I can say this class is helping me a lot to develop my writing abilities.

    This class has taught me so much in ways of the writing process. I feel confident in moving forward with writing. I was a little intimidated at first by the expository essay, however, once I jumped into the class, it quickly became fun, educational. and helped strengthen my writing, and helped me realize my weaknesses. The biggest struggle I have had is the intext citations, and citing them properly, but since I have utilized the GCU resources, this I feel, is now under control. I look forward to growing more as writer, and look forward to my next research essay.…

    In a world full of tweets, Instagram stories and social media posts in general, it is very refreshing to go back to the basics of what true writing is.

When I missed class, which was only when I was sick during the semester, I emailed you for what I missed in class and prepared properly for the next class.…
