Recommended: Writing skill essay

A course assignment that had the most impact on me was my 9th grade Extended Research Project in history. This project required that I perform academic research on a subject, in my case Woodrow Wilson, and then perform a 15 minute presentation on it in front of the school after having written an 8 paragraph essay. This was my first major assignment in high school and my teacher had relatively high standards for the class. This flows into the teacher that had the most impact on me, who is Eric Bright, my high school history teacher. He had high standards for his course and coursework, which challenged me and allowed me to become a better writer and approach history and historical documents from a much more analytical perspective. We would spend

    ... the value of organization and planning. The structure provided by the instructor truly helped me break down very large projects into smaller, more approachable assignments. For example, for each essay due, there were smaller deadlines that needed to be met. As I kept up with those smaller assignments, the actual large due date was not intimidating and I was able to handle the stress better. I will definitely use this approach in my future academic writing assignments.

    During my first semester of college, I felt like this course overshadowed all the others. I faced many challenges, gained better habits, and even increased the value of myself as a scholar. Not only did my professor provide her students with the course material she built a confidence inside of us that will allow us to be able to tackle any task, especially pertaining to any written compositions. The things that I have learned from this course could and will be applied to any and everything I do from here on out, whether that writing an essay or even taking a test.

    The first day of my junior year I was extremely overwhelmed by this class; all the essays we were required to write in the first week didn't help much either. However, since the beginning of the year I have learned so many useful and important lessons which have guided my learning throughout this first semester and, I'm assuming, will continue to guide me for the rest of my high school experience and beyond. In addition, I have made many goals which pertain to essays I have written, and I believe I have met those goals.

  • Essay On Wes Moore

    1196 Words  | 3 Pages

    One that stood out to me was Discovering Wes Moore by Wes Moore. This book was exceedingly fascinating and inspiring. It was absolutely bizarre how two people who started off with such similar lives could end up in completely different places. Both of these men are named Wes Moore, grew up without a father, did poorly in school, and were raised in the same neighborhood. Wes Moore, the author, obtained a Rhodes Scholar and served as a military officer. In contrast, the other Wes Moore is in prison for murdering a police officer. Wes Moore wrote his book in a way where it was almost like a diary. The start of the book was him as a child, and he grew older as the book went on. I found that to be very interesting because his book was a timeline of all the significant events that has happened in his life, and I don’t normally read books that are formatted in that particular way. We were assessed on this book by writing a letter to Wes Moore, the author himself. This project helped me grow as a student because I had never written anything to an author before. It was a new and fun experience that I’m glad I was a part of. It has shown me that if I try something new, I might learn to like

  • Dual Enrollment Reflection

    With college right around the corner and taking a college course gave a real sense of how college classes are going to work giving me an edge over all of the other students going to college that didn’t take a dual enrollment course. Dual enrollment was honestly one of the best decisions I made in my academic career because like what I was saying this class taught me the inner workings of how most assignment are going to be turned in, what it means to be self-reliant/ on your own have no help with assignment from your parents, experiencing a course that only a handful of assignment rather than a ton of assignment ends up making up over eighty percent of your grade (getting you to work extra hard so you won’t fail) and finally that you have to actually interact with the professor/teacher if you need help or are having trouble with an

    Do you believe that because Canada is a multicultural society that there is no racism? While the idea of inclusion and buried racism is what one might hope for, the realities of Canada’s national policy when experienced is quiet opposite than the messages expressed though text and other media outlets. Canada is suppose to be a multicultural society which includes all races and cultural backgrounds, everyone is suppose to be included and accepted in our group instead there are instances of discrimination and marginalization to certain racialized groups that have entered Canada the land that is promised to be of freedom and inclusion for all. Multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of the Canadian heritage and identity it is what fills our national center. (Harmony 2014). Multiculturalism has been a good policy designed to give people a great impression of our country yet: The Novels Indian Horse (2012) by Richard Wagamese and Obasan (1981) by Joy Kogawa portrays acts of violence, terror, exclusion and hardship. It is observed through reading and analysis that Racism is a never-ending struggle that people of minority backgrounds who immigrate to the land of the free have to endure. Finally, Racism stifles and affects everyone negatively who is an immigrant in the Canadian society; multiculturalism is only a façade which serves to cover up the root of the problem.

    Adjunct Professor Michael Lee taught my first English course. Most of the semester we worked on a multi-modal essay. This assignment improved my research and writing skills. I learned to research more deeply of an issue and found factual reasons why I have the opinion about the issue. My topic was about legalizing prostitution. I had two reasons for believing it should be legalized but I had not researched to find facts to support my opinion. Also, after researching I found other benefits and also found information about why it should not be legal. It was a challenge to write in support of what I don’t believe. Not only did it improve my research, but also my written thoughts flowed in order and ideas were organized. I learned to prove

    I think the project that most impacted me as a learner was the memorial project. This projected made me grow as a learner because I had to work with someone that I had never worked with before. When we started just getting a topic that we both wanted to do was the first thing that made me realize that this project was going make me need to use and learn some new skills. My partner and I had some trouble with trying to come up with a design to show everything we wanted to show for our topic. We had to be patient with each other making sure the we both listing to each other and understanding what and why they wanted to do this. We also has some trouble with communication because we didn’t completely understand what the other wanted making ti hard to finalize our design. Another thing with communication was who was doing what my partner didn’t always know what to do so we would sometimes end up wasting time trying to find something for her to do that she wanted to do. Communicating was something that I really improved on for this project teaching me how to be more specific with what I say so that we don’t get confused later. Over all I think that this memorial project as the one that made me use more of the learner profile skills then any other and helped me improve one one as

    The genocide class in which we had to go to the Holocaust Museum and in which we got to see the film My Neighbor My Killer were compelling learning experiences during this class. Assisting the Holocaust Museum and taking one point of view to talk about informed me on what I taught I already knew. Learning about genocide aided my understanding of the many injustices that goes on the world and the ones I don’t know about. It was interesting to learn the various genocides that there has been, including the Rwanda and the Darfur genocide. It caught my attention because I had recently learned about the Cambodian genocide from when I went to Cambodia.

  • Professor Daniel Stuart: Genre Analysis

    1756 Words  | 4 Pages

    Professor Stuart used a lot of discussions in the class. Everyone in class offered their opinion on all the material we encountered during the course. The class discussions contributed to helping me learn because it provided me with extra information and different viewpoints of how others interpreted the material. Also, we ended up going to the library and taking a tour. This experience added to my learning in this course because it taught me how to find the proper materials in the library and how to accurately benefit from the sources available in the library. Another contributing factor was the individual conferences scheduled by the professor. The conference contributed because the teacher discussed the current grade I had in that class and helped me understand what I needed to do to improve my academic writing along with my grade. The Prezi PowerPoints encouraging my learning by providing me with accurate information, further helping me understand the underlying material. Peer review also played a role in my learning because it allowed us to get outside ideas or criticism for our paper, allowing us to fix the mistakes, before turning it in. In addition to all these contributing factors, the hupomnemata really benefited me the most. The hupomnemata is a journal used for writing down notes on the material and some things the professor said in
