Essay On English 112

683 Words3 Pages

English 112 has been a beneficial experience for me. Before taking this course, my view towards writing was very closed-minded. I used to think that school writing was very restrictive and boring. However, English 112 has taught me that writing is much more than just another assignment that needs to be completed. I've always been told that no matter what I do, I'll have to write for the rest of my life. I will be writing now until I retire, and I have always dreaded it. The business memo, research paper, and humanities literature project from this course were a reminder that writing could be interesting. These assignments gave me the freedom to research the things I'm interested in while learning new formatting along the way. They made me more …show more content…

This course has taught me where to find reliable resources through the JSTOR and NClive assignments. It was very helpful to know that the school provides websites to help me find credible information for my assignments and projects. These sites and the grammar module have also helped me cite sources using different citation styles, such as MLA and APA. The course also revisited MLA and APA formatting, which was also very helpful. Additionally, English 112 has taught me how to structure two new types of literature: business memos and research papers. These papers also helped me learn how to write in a persuasive tone and work more …show more content…

English is something that pops up in every course. Some examples are discussion boards, writing assignments, presentations, projects, and simply writing an email. These are just some of the writing activities I will be doing for a long time, and this course has taught me new techniques, formats, grammar, and other writing skills I will need to be successful in my future classes. I honestly wish I had taken this course before I took psychology and public speaking. I would have been able to write and cite in APA format correctly, write in a timely manner, and avoid the many grammar mistakes I had made. While this course couldn't help me in the past, it will definitely help me in the

  • 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.

  • Ap English Language And Composition Class

    269 Words  | 2 Pages

    I took AP English Language and Composition during the 2016-17 school year. My overall grade in the class was an A. Participating in this class taught me invaluable lessons about how to convey my ideas clearly both in written and spoken word. In-class essays and the rigor of larger projects taught me to focus not only on what I was writing, but also how I was writing it. Techniques for editing and reading that I learned in AP Lang have made it easier to read my writing with more self-awareness, and also to consider how it will be interpreted by my audience and what I can do to influence that interpretation. Having taken AP Lang, I now feel more confident approaching nearly any English-related assignment, and know that I have the skills necessary

    As a former AP Lang student, I feel that this class has been very beneficial for me in that it has allowed me to apply the techniques and strategies I learned last year toward more relevant subjects. Having the freedom of choosing topics to write about for our various essays made this class more enjoyable than the other English classes that I have taken. AP Lang focused heavily on the techniques of writing solid essays, but instead of writing about useful topics, we analyzed the short stories provided on the exams. Writing a personal narrative essay was very helpful in my college application process and allowed me to employ the same kind of strategies that I learned in class into my college essays.

I found that with the TA and peer feedback, I was able to reflect upon the three different writing skills, and improve my writing. For the first essay that worked on writing a personal narrative effectively, I found that there were many common mistakes made that were caught by both my peers, and my TA. Some elements that my peers suggested are to add for dialogue so I am “showing” the story rather than “telling” it, and to describe the significance of the story.
