Reflection: My Learning Experience In A Communication Class

Decent Essays
By completing this communication class, I was able to benefit from a variety of new things from this class, as well as refreshing my memory on subjects that I have already learned, one learns better if the information was repeated, I presume. Reparation is what really helped me to learn information batter, something that accrued in your class – but not as much as I hoped- nevertheless, your constant aid and textual examples were sufficient in times, and more than sufficient in other times. Everyone has similar experiences in their classes yet different, whether it is because of the different characters in the class or just the teacher him or herself. This class was a rather interesting combination of both, it was joyous and jolly as well, …show more content…
I have learned different writing techniques, understand the rhetorical analysis, and most importantly, how to find and properly use different reliable sources. Through class exercises and writing the different types of papers I was able to learn those skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, there is still room for more improvement. Skills such as proper grammar and MLA format still need some adjustment. Even though I have things to improve on this semester I was still able to improve some areas of my writing skills.
When it comes to what had the most impact in my prominent learning experience was one of our essays in the middle of the semester. The rhetorical analysis essay. That essay was about a video called “the squatty potty” that video was incredibly humorous and bizarre in so many ways I can’t put into words, but those two reasons were not what really made the subject stay persistent in my

When it comes to grading, I can’t really grade for my life! That was and still is one of the many reasons why I changed my major and other reasons it will not be fair of me; nevertheless, if I would to conclude my grade I would aim for a (B) or a (B-). That’s statistically speaking that is possible if obtained an A on this final essay, however this will not be possible if I would to debunk this essay, hopefully I will not. But if I might add, if I would to argue for a grade, I would argue for a B. My argument would be that I arrived to class prepared, sometimes late? Yes, but prepared. I honestly tried to attend all classes and tried to engage in formal conversation in class about the discussed subject. I did my best to help when it came to the peer review. I did my best when it comes to paying attention to my peers and your lectures. As you can read, I can’t really craft an argument for the grade I deserve, nor can I say that, that was an decent argument; for like I said before, it would be unfair to me and the ones around

    Coming into English 101, I really did not know what to expect. This was my first college writing class so I had no idea what it was going to be like. In high school I would have considered myself to be a decent writer, not the best or not the worst. I would never impress anyone with my writing skills but I could still come across as educated on my topic.…

    This class was Honors Chemistry, it was extremely difficult and I tried everything I could possibly do to try to be successful in that class. I did extra homework, staying after school, and staying up remarkably late just to try to understand a concept that others seemed to fathom so easily. The feeling of failure from not doing strong in this class made me feel as if I could never understand this class. The feeling of failure for anyone is not an enjoyable feeling, it mostly can cause a stress on your life, when you know you are able to succeed. I decided to take the initiative and try as hard as I can to bring my grade up with the final exam.…

    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.…

    Wow, it’s hard to believe this semester has already come to an end.

    Over the first semester I feel I have been appropriately challenged in the area of writing we have done this year. I learned many new skills, but the most important one involves English and how to write properly. As for the first writing, I really did not understand what was right and what was wrong. Because I never paid close attention to specific rules in how to write. I truly believe it has been hard for me.…

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.

    Learning different modes of writing and putting them into practice will allow me to be able to approach different subjects with an appropriate style. Although I had learned to use only academically credible sources before, I had become too lax and this class put me back on the right track of being aware. I have only done papers in APA format for the past two years, so this class was a nice refresher on MLA format. I think it’s important to be fluent in both; while in college you never know if different teachers will require a different format than others. Beyond improving my writing ability, this class achieved its critical thinking development goal as well.…

    At the beginning of the semester I was worried because I though 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.

    You are in class one day when the teacher announces a new assignment: students are to research and give an informative speech about any topic of their choosing. As the student, imagine that you are terrified to not only present the speech in front of your entire class, but to have to go through the process of picking a topic, researching it, organizing your speech, and practicing it as well. At the beginning of my communication class, this was how I felt about producing and giving speeches. I was nervous to talk in front of the class because I have always been very shy and have suffered from extreme speech apprehension. I also dreaded picking a topic and organizing my speeches as well, since I could never make up my mind and I was never good…
