I feel like that most important things I have learned are the importance of being present in class, how to write a research paper, and the importance of using a comma properly . One of the most important things I have learned in this class is being present in class is very important and can be critical in passing a class.

My literacy narrative I turned in last week was not a complicated paper, but I had a few troubles along the way. I had just one main problem and it was the introduction. My comma mistakes and trying to include enough support in my conclusion was not a breeze to do either.

Writing on my developmental English class was a…

Reference 8th Edition and the material that we have gone over in class I can now say that I have much better understanding of using commas. I never really used to know how to use commas very well mainly for the reason that I thought I was using them the right way all the time (I was not always using them correctly). However, even if I cannot catch my mistakes with commas or anything else while I am writing, I have a better chance to catch my mistakes while I am editing. Once again I used to try…

Commas are a specific part of grammar I have the most difficulty with. To this day, I find myself placing commas where they are not necessary, creating comma splices. I tend to write how I think, so whenever I pause in my mind, I place a comma where I paused. In my current English…

first formal essay of the semester. This paper was about my Grandfather's tradition of singing in Italian to me. My thesis was not very compelling and quite juvenile. The paper is full of grammatical mistakes. There is an excess amount of missing commas. Comma placement was something I definitely struggled with. There are spelling mistakes and capitalization errors that I could have easily corrected if I had spent more time on revision. In this essay, my main strength was my detailed description…
