But sometimes it is already obvious in which mode you'll be writing before you've even figured out the basic details. A lot of you will think 'I want to write a book', and then think about what you want to write about. Generally speaking, I think it is better to write because you already have a story that is dying…

In four months, I have endured writing four essays and an annotated bibliography. I squirmed in my seat each time Professor Longoria passed back the class’ purple folders containing our graded essays. Seeing red marks on my essays could either mean that I did a flawless job or I may have been guilty of a few comma splices and contractions. Nevertheless, my strengths lie in my use of vocabulary and organization of the essays. However, I tend to be weaker in my use of grammar and topic sentences.…

Abstract is one of the most important parts of the writing. I usually don’t read any book without reading the abstract at first. Also, the abstract part helps me a lot when I buy some books, I usually skim through the abstract and if I like the content, I will buy it.

I learn how to write a good question at issue and enthymeme on my research paper, which helps me know how to strengthen and organize my essay. The concept that I learn makes my essay become more focus on the topic, which improves my writing skill a lot. In this course, I wrote about animal testing in my essay cycle 2. The reason why I write…

Randy: I really liked the format of your response. It was very well written. I too am a criminal justice major. However, I have never had a very strong interest in writing and am hoping this course changes that. Your College Composition and Literature course sounded very interesting, and I think I would have benefited from a course like that. I couldn 't agree with you more regarding having difficulties organizing a paper. I often struggle with this as well, and I hope this course helps me to…

Writing: A Perfectionist’s Imperfection Have you ever seen those movies when the antagonist is holding the gun straight at the protagonist’s head? You wait, wait, and wait. There is the loud gun cock, but it never seems to actually go off and the protagonist never seems to die. For one thing, writing for me is like someone is sitting behind my desk laughing at me menacingly with the gun pressed against my temple. A metaphorical gun killed my thoughts of a perfectly good paper. This gun hs…

am currently taking my second dual-enrollment college course, comp one. Before this college level writing course, I thought I had the skill of writing papers mastered.
