My results were the complete opposite of what I thought it was going to be. The setup of the test definitely took me by surprise. I was expecting the test to be a questionnaire. When I first started the test, I was to focused on not messing up. I thought if I messed up then it would have a negative effect on my results.…

This class has bettered me in my writing abilities as well as my ability to do better research. I have learned many things throughout my semester in GSW 1110 such as counterarguments, different…

really like the sound of a writing class. In high school, my writing skills were average and my grades in my English classes reflected that. When reviewing the syllabus for this course, prior to the semester, the sound of five pages essays really made me sick to my stomach. At the time, I wanted to possibly try to just skip the class somehow, but instead, I decided just to get it over with already. This was probably the best choice that I’ve made this semester. My writing skills have really…

Mistakes cannot always be seen as a negative, as you can move on and correct them to better your knowledge. From my first essay this semester to my last I have seen a vigorous amount of improvement. Not only seen in my grades, but in the way my writing has transitioned between paragraphs and topics. This has helped my work flow more and added a keen sense of intelligence. I have seen much improvement in my essays but have seen the most significant change from my first entrance essay “My season”…

Reflecting WRTG 101 Writing has always been a personal experience for me. I have pages and pages of journal entries from various times throughout my life. Writing used to be an outlet for me to get the thoughts out of my head that I didn’t quite understand, or even a way to freeze a moment in time. My writing has always had such a personal voice on it that I would get negative remarks through high school. The teacher would tell me, “amazing writing, but you write as if you are speaking”. In…

Odysseus had just left Kalypso island with his hand made boat to sail for…

One would think that lack of detail would change the purposes of the novel, but Hamid was able to drive his theme of exposing american judgemental views towards…
