English 111 Reflection

159 Words1 Page

Last fall semester was my first semester in college. I took English 111 with the hope of gaining some initial experience with college writing. I am an international student, so it was a struggle at the beginning to understand and meet the expectations of my professor, as well as to catch up with the pace of my peers. However, looking back to what I learnt in English 111, I think the difficulties did not prevent be from having an amazing experience. I was able to learn how to analyze a text, make an argument and support my argument. I had the chance to practice searching for sources and evaluating them. I also participated in several small-group workshops, when I could give and receive feedbacks from other students for my projects. Overall,

  • English 1101: Improving My Writing

    562 Words  | 3 Pages

    So far, the biggest thing that I have learned in English 1101 is the small things that I can do to improve my writing. Fixing small grammatical errors, such as a misplaced comma, can really improve the way that my writing looks and improve it. When it comes to learning about myself and what works best for me when writing, I’ve found that I do my best writing when I have facts and examples I can use to back up what I am saying. While I did well on the Literacy Narrative, I felt like my writing was actually better on the Evaluation Essay that we did. For the Literacy Narrative I was trying to think of exact quotes and paraphrase a situation that happened to me years ago, so the details may have been fuzzy to me.

  • 214 English Hybrid Reflection

    The 214 English hybrid course has got me into thinking more about constructing a strong thesis and creating solid topic sentences. Being able to identify my thesis has also helped my writing have better organization that helps the overall flow of my essay. With blogging incorporated into our academic criteria it was certainly something different. Blogging geared me into reading more articles and analysis the authors use of rhetorical devices. After this course I have gone more on magazine websites to read current topics.

  • Revising Process In English 101

    468 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being in English 101 has impacted three different types of writing processes: drafting, revising, and editing. Before I started this class, I never made drafts; I only did pre-writes and the final copy of the essay. Now, I do the pre-writes, then type it and make the draft, and then fix any errors in it. Another writing process that has improved is revising because now instead of reading what I wrote myself, I let my friends, classmates, and teachers read it to see if they understand what I’m writing and if they see any errors. This makes my editing process easier because I know what mistakes I made.

  • English 1101 Course I Was Nothing Less Than A Challenge

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    The English 1101 course that I took was nothing less than a challenge. I learned a lot about myself through this academic course, both as a writer and as a student, as it allowed me to be tested in many learning criteria I have never been challenged in or taught. The English language as a whole, especially within the school taking English classes, has always been an easy or simple class for me. Now that I have taken this college class, I realized that it has become more of an obstacle, than just critical thinking. I know now that I learned a lot from this period on how to better write essays, prepare for essays, how to think professionally about what to do and not to do to make a writing piece a good piece, and really what the true meaning

    Everyone needs to struggle in order to preform better. Writing has always been a strength of mine, but I found it a challenge to move from the high school, six-paragraph essay format that I had grown accustomed to. Throught the course of this semester, I was able to acquire many different skills in ENG 1101 that have helped me transition into more complex writing. These include various writing techniques, MLA formatting, writing for purpose, convincing my arguments and finding and properly using sources. The portfolio I have submitted is comprised of three works of writing that I completed for ENG 1101 over the last three months.

  • Writing Class Reflection Essay

    I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.

  • A Reflection Of My Experience In The English Class

    Thank you for giving me this chance to talk about my English class, it was very excited to be a part of English 101 this quarter. We act as a family in this class by helping each other in writing, discussions stories and responding to each other. To be honest, I worked very hard this quarter and I focused more on my English class rather than other classes I had taken in SFCC. Writing is something not easy when it comes to my mind, because I am an international student and it is a differencet from my writing style and English writing style, so I should separate between them. I would not say writing English assignment is very hard for me, but I mean I make some mistakes.
