Composition

When I first made my decision to go to Hudson Valley to study Computer Information Systems I was shown the classes which I need to complete to earn my degree. One of the classes I would have to take as a requirement was English Composition I. And so my decision to begin taking the class this semester has already begun to have effects on my writing ability and in particular my grammar. However grammar and general writing improvements are not the only things that this class will effect. For it has…

In this lab, the percent composition of each component in the mixture was calculated. The mixture contained NaCO, CaCO3, and sand. NaCO or salt had a physical change when it completely dissolved in water. A chemical change occurred when hydrochloric acid was added to CaCO3 or chalk because the mixture changed to a yellow green color. In order to obtain the percent composition, a filtration system was used to separate the sand from the liquid, by straining the solid with the use of filter paper.…

For non-native English speakers, having to take college-level English may result in a challenge. Especially since doing compositions and writing analytically are not easy tasks. English Composition I, which is English 101, is the first English class students have to take in order to advance in their career path. In English 101, the principal objectives are to apply critical thinking, critical reading, and critical writing in order to analyze college-level texts and to start on research as I did…

Samuel Shuhan MuHL-570 11 December 2015 Professor Bruce Brown A Closer Look at Rachmaninoff’s Late Composition Style Rachmaninoff’s “Symphonic Dances”, written in in 1940, are unique because of their orchestration, titles, and melodic and harmonic content. The piece differs from other compositions of Rachmaninoff’s because it implements a nationalist composition style, yet also bears influence from contemporary composers. Charles Fisk differs, stating that “In America and Western Europe, a…

and because of this, I could never really find the passion to write. Intermediate Composition has helped me with my writing technique and style. After learning new skills, I can now use those skills to my advantage and put them into my writings. Before taking this class, the only other writing I did was essays for my other language arts classes. Some classes that I have taken in the past prior to Intermediate Composition were; middle school language arts, English 9, and American Lit. Some essay…

OTHER SECTION It is clear that Gaye’s composition on paper is protected, but it is also clear that the style Gaye’s composition reflects is an idea that is not protected, pursuant to section 102 (b). Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 102(b) (2012). The question then becomes, whether Appellants attempted to reflect the style of Gaye’s piece, or whether they attempted to build on an already completed composition to create a derivative song that paralleled the original, pursuant to section 103.…

When we first began Composition I, I did not believe I would ever pass this extremely difficult class. Coming into to the class with not a lot of knowledge may seem impossible, but Somehow, I have been able to maintain high grades all semester. There have been many times where I have had to give up some of my personal free time in order to meet the deadline given to us by Mrs. Garth. Throughout the first semester of Composition I, I realized the strengths and weaknesses I have in writing essays.…

favorable because it’s easy. Before English composition one, my writing portrayed the same habits and mistakes I’d been making since high school. Over the past semester, my writing has been exposed to the next level of composition. Within this exposure certain aspects of my writing were left behind and many new doors opened. Reading through my old papers, I was able to analyze certain patterns, mistakes, and habits my writing followed. English composition teaches writers how to advance their…

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…

What I learned from English Composition I early on was that College English would not be at all like High School. Therefore, I knew going into English Composition II that the expectations would be even greater. As a result, my expectations at the beginning of this class were as expected, challenging. I expected this class to help prepare me to become a successful writer for college as well as for the world of work. What I didn’t expect was to have a collaborative writing assignment with other…
