Composition studies

The last one I found that I need to improve everything when it comes to writing in general. I have two problems; First is every time I am going to write something I always think about the subject in Spanish and that is a big problem because in Spanish is different from English. Everything is backward and the verbs and transitions are very different. That makes it more difficult for me because I have to go back and try to make sense on what I am writing. The second problem that I have is, that…

hate the whole idea of writing and dread even writing a simple paper. It seems like you can never do it just right, no matter what you do. After a while it felt like writing just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t until that one paper in my high school Composition class that. Let 's rewind a bit. Up until this paper, it was an endless onslaught of essays that wanted to focus one one thing. Me. “Jacob, write about the most interesting thing that has…

Beginning English composition two I was anxious and concerned about the level of difficulty of the course. My experience with English composition one was challenging to say the least. Even when I put countless hours of dedication and effort into each essay, my grades would fall short despite the time put in. This experience lead to my apprehension towards taking English Composition two here at Auburn. To my surprise, English Composition Two has been a success for me. I have made tremendous…

I teach "Introduction to Literature" and "Standard Freshman Composition" courses at Suffolk County Community College. I personally design both of my courses, which adhere to the mission statement of the college. In "Introduction to Literature," my students engage in imaginative works of literature, analyze major literary themes and forms, continue training in effective prose writing skills, and demonstrate maturity and thought and style when deconstructing literary elements such as image, plot,…

Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about how to be a better writer in Foundations for College Writing class. I really did not know how to write a proper paper when I entered college and that was one of my biggest concerns. However, as the class progressed I learned the many different steps that happen while writing a good college paper. This class also taught me that there are other factors besides just writing that are crucial to writing a decent paper. In the beginning of this…

Developing My Theory of Writing As a new college student, I am taking a hard look at my experiences in writing and contrasting that with my perceived expectations as a college student. I find myself looking at purpose and audience and thinking about how I've approached those two in the past. Audience and purpose are two areas that I would like to discuss in response to “Listening to Students: New Insights on Their College-Writing Expectations” by Lorna Collier and “What do Professors Really Say…

At the start of this class, I was a person that avidly enjoyed writing and often did so in my free time. I was very excited to start this class but also nervous because it was my first college class and I didn’t know what to expect. The most nerve-racking part for me was posting my drafts for the whole class to read. I am a perfectionist and knowing all the other students were going to read and respond to my writing made me very anxious. However, the students commenting on my drafts helped me…

During the ESL 103 class I was able to absorb in different English segments, these sections are writing, speech, listening and reading. It wasn’t English writing only. This Class definitely helped me to improve my English skills, in contrast other English classes that I already took, this class was the one that has helped me the most. Even though I still have to practice my skills in order to get better. At the beginning of learning English I had problems writing, I was so confused with the…

Throughout the first semester of English 101, I have learned not only many new writing styles and vocabulary words, but also I have learned a few things about myself. I have a passion for writing and I would love to continue to aggrandize my vocabulary, and continue learning new writing tactics. I believe that I am a great candidate for the second semester English 102 class because I contribute many things to the class such as; my outgoing personality and determined work ethic, my passion to…
